Re: r23416 Breaks Report Tests

It would help to see exactly what html is generated for a report in an environment where the test does not work (plus the full stack traces). The chances are that the test code is failing to match the report to the expected text. I suspect the easiest fix is to force the locale to C within the test, but I'm none too familiar with locales. Peter Peter, That was a good suggestion, thanks ! I have now fixed the tests by explicitly setting the locale to C right before generating the test output. It may make sense though in the future to extend the test to run in several locales to catch issues that are locale dependent. That could catch issues like - the one I had with € symbols in the tax invoice report (in guile 2 these were not displaying correctly, the reason I added the setlocale call in the first place). - weird date formatting issues - non-utf locales - ... Anyway, that's not my current focus. The existing report tests properly pass dist check, so on to the next issue to polish...

Guile 2 status
With r23444 I have squashed the last failing tests I ran into with guile 2 and auto-compilation enabled. I am aware that our tests don't cover the full source code, so there may still be guile 2 related bugs lurking in some dark forgotten corners. Nevertheless I consider the guile 2 support to be complete now. Would this be a good time to start preferring guile 2 over guile 1.8 when both are available ? It's an easy switch in configure.

Odd message from git post-receive hook
Introduction: I'm currently the only one receiving mails from our gitolite's post-receive hook for commits pushed to the gnucash svn repository. But when we drop svn in favour of git, everybody will be receiving these messages. So any problem I come across in this internal test is important for our future list messaging. So I got this weird message sent today after I pushed a backporting commit to the 2.4 branch. Notice the mail subject: it talks about a patch for libgoffice, which I pushed to trunk earlier today. However that's not what I pushed to 2.4. You can see that in the actual commit message: I pushed [22070] Fix memory leak: Missing regfree() after regcomp(). So how come the mail script whips up the wrong subject ?

Guile 2 performance
The people at the guile irc channel asked me for some performance tests in gnucash comparing gnucash/guile1.8 vs gnucash/guile2.0. I thought our GnuCash devs could be interested as well, so here goes: I have conducted two tests: 1. run make check 20 times in the src/report/standard-reports directory. I have chosen that directory because the tests are fairly heavy and almost purely in scheme. So the time to run the tests is a good indicator of the relative performance of the two guile versions. 2. start gnucash --nofile a couple of times in a row and time how long it takes to display the main window. This is not a very accurate test - I looked at the wall clock to measure this. But startup time is something users are sensitive to, so it would be interesting to check for improvements. Note that guile 2 now compiles its source files. This happens automatically whenever a file is newer than the last compiled version. For an installed gnucash, this should happen only once (at first startup) and hence is not representative of the user's experience. So for the gnucash/guile 2 test, I have first run make check and started the application once before doing my performance tests. As such, (one time) compile times are not part of the test results. The results: 20x standard-reports tests: - guile 1.8: real: 3m59s user: 2m40s sys: 0m9s - guile 2.0: real: 2m48s user: 1m45s sys: 0m11s Startup time (wall clock time to show main window, test run 3 times at least) Average time is given: - guile 1.8: 13s (consistently) - guile 2.0: 9s (consistently) That means that guile 2 improves the test performance with about 30% compared with guile 1.8 and reduces the startup time with about 30% as well. That's a nice improvement we get for free without even optimizing our own code IMO :) Geert ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
