#512: Run testsuite in "distribute" script --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: eschnett Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by eschnett):
Since distribute also builds the Cactus source tree, running the testsuite doesn't slow things down by much. You can prevent building with --no-build (or --no-clean if you don't want to build from scratch), and you can say --no-testsuite to skip running the testsuite.
For me, distribute is not just a tool to test simfactory, but to test a complete Cactus installation. We could add a new script that calls distribute with a few specific parameters to skip everything but testing simfactory, i.e. choosing a non-standard configuration name, building quicker by not optimising, using a minimal thorn list, and not running the testsuite.
