Although I have (so far) never fixed a bug in Zope 3 (but posted several patches for Zope 2), I can confirm this: There are bugs that do not need a test once they are fixed. All kinds of "NameError" and "AttributeError" fall into this category. Requiring to write a unit test for these or similarly trivial bugs is silly -- especially if there is not yet a testing file for the module (such that a trivial test would suffice). -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
