| Subject: | Ask users to report test failures to the mothership? |
| Date: | Sun, 16 May 2004 21:38:12 -0700 |
Recently, I installed a python module that asked to report the test
results back to the mothership. (As I remember, all tests passed.) It
reminded me most clearly of POE's 'uploadreport' function, which has
the same aspect to it -- except that it's actively asked of the user.
I submit this for consideration.
- R.
<coraline> does make test record the file that reportupload needs?
<coraline> if so, then make test can print "Failures detected; to
submit a bug report, please type "make reportupload"."
<dngnand> No. The tests will be run a second time under a custom
harness.
<VAVAVA> same message applies
<dngnand> The custom harness is needed so that the test results can be
gathered rather than just reported to stdout.
<VAVAVA> user doesn't know the difference either way
