For the record, Yorba attempted to contact the original developer of Valadate and received no response. We had some testing needs awhile back, and so we forked. The work we did was not to add features, but merely to rip things out to get it to compile with the then-current version of Vala.
You are correct, we're not currently using or developing Valadate. We would like it if someone stepped up to take over the project. The code is most likely suffering from bit rot and could use some attention. Unfortunately, we have our hands full with other projects and can't spend the time it would take. -- Jim On Fri, Oct 19, 2012 at 6:49 AM, Steven Oliver <oliver.ste...@gmail.com> wrote: There are a couple of unit testing frameworks out there for Vala. I know there a multitude of frameworks people have written themselves for themselves that aren't really published as stand alone projects. Given that I'd like to start putting some testing in a project I'm working on and I had a few questions for the audience. It appears to me that Valadate is the most "mature" testing platform out there. I've noticed it's "hosted" on Gitorious but it appears that Yorba has cloned it on their server and have made updates to it that never made it back to Gitorious. It also appears that despite hosting Valadate Yorba doesn't actually use it. * puzzled * Is there anything else out there worth looking at? Or at lest ones that have seen updates in the past 2 years? And finally, what is everyone doing for unit testing? It appears to be something a lot of projects don't really do anymore. Steven N. Oliver
