Hi Christian,
All the options you gave yesterday and your example today is far more verbose
than my implementation.
Please have a look at the amount of duplication in the doctest example that you
have given, this would
grow as tests were added. All it is doing is unrolling the test loop forcing
the user to type everything
by hand. You can write out the three tests given in en-gb-g2_harness.py, in the
doctest format, get a
character and line count of each file and compare.
Same goes for the other formats you suggested yesterday.
The only reason why I wanted a harness to be included was so that we could
submit test cases to help
locating small and precise bugs.
If we cant agree on something workable I am happy to drop the request, and deal
with things locally as
best as I can.
Thanks,
Mesar
