[Tcllib-devel] test suite for tcllib

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

A bug item was opened yesterday regarding the fact that the tar module
is missing a test suite. Today, I decided to run the cvs head tcllib's
test suite interactively. So far, what I am seeing is that the
following modules are missing test suites:

bench
ftp
ftpd
grammar_peg
http
irc
javascript
jpeg
nmea
nntp
page
pluginmgr


(I also see that there were failures in cmdline , grammar_me, and didn't
get through the test suite - things just sort of "stopped" at sha1 (probably
just didn't wait long enough)

I'm still not certain where to look for the results of the test suite -
sure would be nice if the output was logged somewhere... there is that
log module in tcllib ...).

Anyways, there are a number of modules which need test suites. If someone
on this mailing list feels motivated (if you live on the east coast,
you probably are snowed in today and have plenty of time on your hands
;-) then perhaps you can code up a test or two and submit it.  Don't
feel that you have to figure out every test. Just begin testing the
basics, and more tests can be added in as time goes by.
