I am posting this message to one more mailing list for a few reasons,
but mostly to request that some notice of the work be placed on the
project’s request page, RFP: Parrot needs better smoke reports, if the
results are found to make an adequate contribution the Queryability of
smoke reports.
A while back I across the web page: RFP: Parrot needs better smoke
reports (at url:
http://www.perlfoundation.org/parrot/index.cgi?rfp_parrot_needs_better_smoke_reports).
After reading the requirements for "Queryability" I decided to try to
write some web query forms and reports that fit those requirements.
The results are now available as a beta service at
http:/www.software-path.com/parrotsmoke/.
From http:/www.software-path.com/parrotsmoke/ you will be able to
access two report generating forms. The first provides a summary of
platforms and related statistics for a date range. The second allows for
the selection of individual tests and provides reporting on success,
failure, todo etc numbers for individual tests from the past week.
Allowing a selected date range for the second report could be
forthcoming soon, particularly if I am notified that such functionality
is wanted.
The data is collected by scraping the pages at
http://smoke.parrotcode.org and, while the accuracy of the data scraping
has been checked and is believed to be quite good, there are still some
known issues.
I am quite happy to release the source code on request, but am still
hoping to take some time to clean it up a bit.
Enjoy. I also welcome feedback.
Ron.
With all regrets at taking an extra moment of your time, this work was
done under difficult circumstances and with some pain. Nonetheless, as
mentioned before, I have tested it and believe it to be basically working.
