Subject: perl/Git.pm: Writing a test suite
Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 09:43:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <483FB034.3050507@gmail.com> (raw)
Git.pm doesn't currently have a test suite, and I think it should get one.
Since Git.pm makes calls to the git binary, it would seem sensible to me
to create mock output for the external calls, like Grit (a Ruby API)
does it, here: http://github.com/mojombo/grit/tree/master/test/fixtures
(Having a complete test repository to test against like Ruby/Git
(another API) at
http://repo.or.cz/w/rubygit.git?a=tree;f=tests/files;hb=HEAD is probably
too brittle and makes it hard to test edge cases.)
I haven't done testing in perl before, so if someone wants to exchange
ideas and/or help me get this set up, please post here or message me on
IRC (lea_w/lea_1 on #git at Freenode).
