Here's a rough proof of concept showing how
we could run tests for
passt with Avocado and the exeter library I recently created. It
includes Cleber's patch adding some basic Avocado tests and builds on
that.
The current draft is pretty janky:
* The build rules to download and install the necessary pieces are messy
* We create the Avocado job files from the exeter sources in the
Makefile. Ideally Avocado would eventually be extended to handle
this itself
* The names that Avocado sees for each test are overlong
* There's some hacks to make sure things are executed from the
right working directory
But, it's a starting point.
Stefano,
If you could look particularly at 6/22 and 22/22 which add the real
tests for passt/pasta, that would be great. The more specific you can
be about what you find ugly about how the tests are written, then
better I can try to address that.
I suspect it will be easier to actually apply the series, then look at
the new test files (test/build/build.py, and test/pasta/pasta.py
particularly). From there you can look at as much of the support
library as you need to, rather than digging through the actual patches
to look for that.
Forgot to mention. Patches 1 & 2 should be good to go regardless of
what we do with the rest of the testing stuff.
