Hello all,
I am trying to add a unit test for a fix I am working on, so I
tried to
build and run the current unit tests to see how it all works.
However, when running the current unit tests I get quite a lot of
failures and even a crash of the UnitTester application for at
least
one test (BApplication::QuitTest4).
Am I doing something wrong or is this known already? I expected the
unit tests to be run as part of the automated builds, but that
seems
unlikely if they are indeed broken.
Hi,
The tests are not run automatically because this would require an
Haiku
host and our buildbots are running some other operating systems. At
the
moment, the bots only check that the tests are compiling.
I saw several offers of help this week for extra hardware. Perhaps one
could be used to run a build bot on a Haiku instance with tests
enabled.
You can tell UnitTester to run only parts of the tests, either the
single one you are working on, or the component you are adding tests
to.
Just tried that and the results were not encouraging so far. I'm not
yet sure where my test needs to be exactly (ssl test), but the
NetworkAddressTest set "only" produced two failures and no crash and
the NetworkInterfaceTest landed me in kernel debugging land every time
sa far. It also somehow caused the last several minutes of changes to
the disk to go missing as if they were never really written to disk. At
least, I had to compile part of the unit tests each time as they were
gone again.
We are trying to get things fixed as we go, but there has not been
much
interest from the devs so far...
I would guess there would be no complaints if someone sets up the build
bot to run the tests after each commit. That should be step one.
Kind regards,
Mark Hellegers
