Re: [Tcllib-devel] anyone taking a look at the current tcllib test suite and tcl/tk 8.5?

[Virden, L. W. <lv...@ca...>]

One thing I've always wished that tcl and its extensions did was to
prepare a failure report that could then be emailed by the developer
when s/he was ready. The report would include the address to which the
report should go, platform info, tcl info, configuration info, as well
as the specific failure reports.

The tcllib test suite seems to go the opposite way, summarizing things
in a colorful manner, but making it a bit more difficult to email
relevant facts.

Also there appears to be, at least on solaris, a half dozen or more
(bench, ftp, ftpd, grammer_peg, http, irc, javascript, jpeg, nmea, nntp,
page, pluginmgr, smtpd, tar, term, tiff, transfer ) modules with a
"yellow" marking, which I take to mean that no tests were executed
(either none were present, or none passed some sort of screening). I
wonder if everyone is seeing that, or if there is just something on
solaris that is missing.


Final note - with the latest tcl and tcllib cvs head, I am getting
failures in the following modules
Snit, struct
However, no details appear, so I don't know exactly what is going wrong.
I looked through the README files, but it isn't clear to me how I would
go about running individual tests to get the details of the failures.
