Pulled a src tree update yesterday since previous pull on 10/24 (2216) .
Rebuild gives the following new warnings

Backing out changeset 2217 removes one of the warnings and the crash
Whatever the bug alluded to in the changeset was (not ticketed) the new test exercises it but the fix doesnt seem to correct it .

The second warning is from from a change in DocGenerator (changeset 2218) removing a comment about the warning and a cast that
suppressed it.


Rerun tests - get new Test failure on test 691 - 100-lowercase-class-name.cobra

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
100-lowercase-class-name.cobra(6): error: Cannot find namespace "little".
Compilation failed - 1 error, 0 warnings


This test was modded changeset 2223 (probably from Forum discussion around wx.NET) to add lowercase little namespace and tests using it.

You should have already gotten an email about the warnings, right? It will go away with the next snapshot. For now, just ignore it.

I'm aware of the 322 failure, but didn't have time to finish it off last night. Except I did make testify more robust so it will continue past that error. Btw that error doesn't take place for me on Mono 2.4 on Mac which is why I didn't notice it until I ran on Windows.

Finally, I noticed when I did the checkin for the "little" namespace that Subversion (at least under Mac OS X Snow Leopard) did not show the .dll as being modified, nor outside of source control ("svn status"). Very weird.

The 322 failure is fixed.

Umm. Could we do this a bit differently..

Rather than relying on a download and test surprise and possibly uncertain secondary means of notification could we just annotate the test to temporarily skip it..
( for known failures for held/working on issues)
That way the tests in the src tree are shown to be always expected to succeed and if a test fails its certainly due to a local change or a local weirdness..

heres a patch that provides a new testdirective '.skipTmpKnownFailure.' - when placed on a failing test it gives notification in the r-testify file and
status output that looks like this, Highlighting a temporary test skip for all to see

Code: Select all

> ./cobra -testify ../Tests/720-libraries/400-other
..\Tests\720-libraries\400-other
    (0) 100-lowercase-class-name.cobra
            -: skipped pending fix for known failure
    (1) 200-Foo.Bar.cobra
    (2) 202-Foo.Mismatch.cobra
    (3) 210-use-lib-with-no-ref.cobra
    (4) 211-use-lib-with-no-ref-special-order.cobra
            -: skipped pending fix for known failure
    (5) 212-use-lib-with-no-ref-not-found-error.cobra


The testdirective line in the to be skipped file can list the (temp) error or the writer or something...

An alternative would be for the directive to just emit a soothing status message that says to ignore any failures ...
something like:

Code: Select all

> ./cobra -testify ../Tests/720-libraries/400-other
..\Tests\720-libraries\400-other
    (0) 100-lowercase-class-name.cobra
        :- ignore any Failures:-  known errors, fix under construction
    FAILURE ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    (1) 100-lowercase-class-name.cobra
    (2) 200-Foo.Bar.cobra
    (3) 202-Foo.Mismatch.cobra
    (4) 210-use-lib-with-no-ref.cobra
    (5) 211-use-lib-with-no-ref-special-order.cobra
        :- ignore any Failures:-  known errors, fix under construction
    FAILURE ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    (6) 211-use-lib-with-no-ref-special-order.cobra

Done, but differently. The .skip. directive is reused, but can now have a comment after it. Also, any tests that are skipped emit a line to both the status as well as the results file. changeset:2249

Good enough.

Just a tweak:
Could you change the message that ends up in the r-testify file to say 'Skipping test' rather than just 'Skipping' to disambiguate the output from the compiler where its notifying of
skipping duplicate error codes from csc.
The message for skipping due to a dll requirement already does that.
