Development on SchemeUnit has been idle for a while and in that time many improvements have been suggested and some bit-rot has set it. I'm resuming development of SchemeUnit and seeking feedback from the user community to guide the next version. My preliminary list of changes is below. It is likely it will take several versions to complete this list and some of the changes with break compatability with the 1.x series. To avoid excessive noise I'm asking everyone who is interested in the future development of SchemeUnit to join schematics-development, if interested in guiding the developing, schematics-users if you merely want to stay abreast of the latest developments. To sign up to either list visit: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=19879 Thanks, Noel SchemeUnit Proposed Changes: 2.0 [DONE] Allow assertions to record arbitrary information about failure. This has already been implemented in 2.0 alpha 1. Breaks compatability with 1.x Add setup and teardown actions for test-suites. Maybe via keyword arguments.

Lo, on Tuesday, August 17, Noel Welsh did write:

;; Requires a module and exposes some of its unprovided (non-syntax!)
;; identifiers.
;; USAGE: (require/expose MODULE-NAME (IDS ...))
;; where MODULE-NAME is as in the MzScheme manual (i.e., a standard
;; module spec) and IDS are the un-provided identifiers that you wish to

;; Based on a macro by Raymond Racine (rr...@ad...) posted to

(define-syntax require/expose
(syntax-rules ()
[(_ mod (ids ...))
(begin
(require mod)
(define-values (ids ...)
(let ([ns (module->namespace 'mod)])
(parameterize ([current-namespace ns])
(values
(namespace-variable-value 'ids)...)))))]))
There are some other comments I want to make, but I'll take the
discussion to schematics-development just as soon as I've subscribed.

How would allowing assertions to capture arbitrary failure info break compatibility with 1.x? The way I read "break compatibility" means all tests written to 1.x would need to be fixed. Or does it just break custom assertions? require/expose sounds awesome. I wasn't aware there was a gui, I'll try to have a look and see what it's about. When you say drop the GUI and later redevelop it, I'm a little confused by the plan for the GUI, do you want to drop it or rewrite it? -- Gordon Weakliem http://www.eighty-twenty.net -----Original Message from Noel Welsh <noe...@ya...>----- Development on SchemeUnit has been idle for a while and in that time many improvements have been suggested and some bit-rot has set it.

You are correct, only custom assertions will be broken. I was just using a lazy shorthand. > I wasn't aware there was a gui, I'll try to have a look > and see what it's about.

Ryan Culpepper developed the GUI (it is the Test button that appears in DrScheme when you have SchemeUnit installed). It has a much better interface than the text-ui but some problems of its own. This email from him describes the current state of the GUI: http://list.cs.brown.edu/pipermail/plt-scheme/2004-August/006380.html Currently the GUI is broken. I want to make regular releases of new SchemeUnit code and don't have the time to redevelop the GUI right now (and I'm hoping someone else will; either as part of the PLT testing tool or separately :) So I intend to drop it from the 2.0 release and redevelop it if I have time later on. I'm a bit leery to invest a lot of time in it right now as 300 will probably break any work done on 20x Noel ===== Email: noelwelsh <at> yahoo <dot> com AIM: noelhwelsh __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
