Testing guide on xwiki.org
Hi, Just wanted to let you know I have started a page about Testing on xwiki.org. It's meant to continue our official testing strategy: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Testing There isn't much now but we'll go from there and improve it as we firm up our testing strategy. Please comment and suggest ideas. Thanks -Vincent
Hi all, It's somewhat related to testing, but I currently find rather confusing the way configuration/settings files are handled in the project. When compiling with ant it come with no modifications from the xwiki- standard web app. But when tests are done, it's quite difficult to find where/what filters these settings and where they are stored prior to test execution. This is even worse when different IDE get in the way... Moreover, we should certainly be able to test different configurations (i.e. different databases, different encodings, etc.). Maybe the handling of these conf files should be rationalized ? I'm not volunteering for this as it require much more skill than I can provide... It's just a suggestion, and maybe a request for comments... Regards, Gilles, On 7 mars 07, at 14:24, Vincent Massol wrote:

All configuration data is supposed to be in xwiki.cfg.

Yep.

Agreed. What's your suggestion/proposal? One approach I have in mind for this is to let the build tool build different xwiki distributions (different databases, different containers). However this doesn't solve all the possible configuration variations that exist. I think for these we should be able to modify them when XWiki is online so that the tests can change them on the fly. Any other idea? Thanks -Vincent
