There was a run-tests.php rewrite application accepted for gsoc this summer.. I however haven't heard a word about it since then.. Does anyone know the status of that project? -Hannes --- ## #39982 — Sebastian Bergmann — 2008-08-15T21:17:52+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/39981#39982 · In reply to: #39981 Hannes Magnusson wrote: > There was a run-tests.php rewrite application accepted for gsoc this > summer..

The only time I read about it after that, I got the impression that the project shifted from improving run-tests.php to working on http://phpt.info/.

(I will keep on working on my project as long as possible, but I have too much on my head right now to do 'creative' stuff - need something with clearly defined goals). If Sebastian or Travis (they mentored this project, didn't they?) have a few minutes to discuss what is wrong with the old script it would be really nice, and I will be able to start it on Friday or Saturday I think.

Nothing happened there, neither student nor mentor filled out the final survey nor did I see any code. (but that's also true for projects doing quite well) johannes --- ## #40104 — Travis Swicegood — 2008-08-27T14:59:52+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/39981#40104 · In reply to: #40101 Hey guys; > > > […] > > Nothing happened there, neither student nor mentor filled out the > final > survey nor did I see any code.

I tried to get someone familiar with project to take over as mentor a little over half way through, but everyone else was tied up too. Couple that with someone that got in over their head and, well, the GSoC project just couldn't make it. All that said, I'm shooting for a 1.0 of PHPT by the end of the year. That will have complete running of the php-src tests, parallel test running, and full support for Windows (thanks in large part to all of the testing of PHPT that Elizabeth Smith has done). Michal - I would love to have some help on this. As I alluded to here, there is already a replacement for run-tests.php in the PHPT project (phpt.info). It's 0.1 release was a rewrite of PEAR_RunTest, so there are some discrepancies between what it can do currently and what run-tests is capable of. If you would like to help out, feel free to ping me off-list or on phpt-dev for some guidance. -T --- ## #40105 — Sebastian Bergmann — 2008-08-27T15:30:23+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/39981#40105 · In reply to: #40104 Travis Swicegood schrieb: > All that said, I'm shooting for a 1.0 of PHPT by the end of the year.

Yes, as we talked about earlier in the year on IRC and on the wiki. For those of you who don't know what PHPT is: It's a ground-up rewrite of the PEAR_RunTest code (which was based on run-tests.php) that addresses the short-comings in architecture that both PEAR_RunTest and run-tests.php have. It's about 90% of the way there to being able to completely run all of the .phpt files in php-src, it just needs some attention to clean up all of the loose ends. -T --- ## #40110 — Sebastian Bergmann — 2008-08-27T16:35:12+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/39981#40110 · In reply to: #40108 Travis Swicegood schrieb: > Yes, as we talked about earlier in the year on IRC and on the wiki. Interesting, almost everybody I talked to about this was not even aware of your PHPT project and thought you meant run-tests.php by it. -- Sebastian Bergmann http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ GnuPG Key: 0xB85B5D69 / 27A7 2B14 09E4 98CD 6277 0E5B 6867 C514 B85B 5D69 --- ## #40135 — Derick Rethans — 2008-08-29T14:11:23+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/39981#40135 · In reply to: #40108 > > > > […] > > Yes, as we talked about earlier in the year on IRC and on the wiki.

This is definitely new information to me too. I expect that this is what you wanted to use the student for - work on your own special project - but this is something that GSoC is definitely not meant for. The original idea behind this project was a rewrite of run-tests.php, not something else. Now I hear that a different project was being worked on by the student, and even *this* didn't get anyware. I'm pretty much annoyed by this cause of action - we still didn't get any work done on run-tests, and the student's time was wasted on doing work for some private project. regards, Derick -- HEAD before 5_3!: http://tinyurl.com/6d2esb http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org
