Hi,
I know that nobody tested trigger.module as a user not being
uid 1
because a severe menu bug introduced on May 16 (aka before
the commit
of actions) made all actions admin pages inaccessible for
anyone but
uid 1. I could apologize for this mistake but I won't.
Instead I am glad that this brightly reveals some
inefficiency of our
testing. To correct that, I would like to ask for a serious
push on
simpletests. This bug was revealed by cwgordon7, a GHOP
student while
working on those. I am going to work on
http:/
/drupal.org/project/simpletest_automator more during the
next
two days making it even easier to create tests. If anyone
needs a site
to play with the automator and churn out tests, let me
know.
We are in an interesting position: very soon we will run out
of
critical bugs (thanks god!) but we can't release because
there is no
Views module and drupal.org is not updated.
Let's use this time to cover core with simpletests and make
Drupal 6
the best release ever. The angel of Drupal testing (aka
webchick)
posted http://groups.drup
al.org/node/5974 this fantastic list for us.
So... it's season for testing.
In the past, I wanted to ask Dries to introduce this season.
Instead,
I would like to ask everyone to ask from her/himself as I
did "oh my
god, what else could be there" and then join the
simpletest writing
crowd.
Regards,
Karoly Negyesi
