Been chatting in #couchdb and just found out about a couple gotchas when running the couchdb test suite (last link under "Tools" in futon), wanted to capture them here before I put them elsewhere in our notes: jchris: magicbronson: the test suite is only officially supported in FF jchris: safari is too fast for the test suite jchris: magicbronson: I tend to run in FF with Firebug enabled, which adds some latency to everything
jchris: running the tests on a production server is a little weird, as it calls restart a lot jchris: and also swaps out the authorization method with a test auth method jchris: maybe we should put a note on the test page ! magicbronson: jchris: weird as in not a good idea to do while your site is up and running? mine is currently 'down for maintenance' if that's what you mean? jchris: if your couch is not available to the public internet its probably fine magicbronson: jchris: ok, cool jchris: however, someone could pwn your couch if they hit it with the user/pass of jchris/mp3 during the security_validation test magicbronson: jchris: good to know! my couch only accepts connections from localhost so i don't have to worry right? jchris: magicbronson: probably not
