[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1963) Move from etap to eunit

["Benoit Chesneau (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1963?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14033615#comment-14033615 ] 

Benoit Chesneau commented on COUCHDB-1963:
------------------------------------------

i tested the new branch created by [~kxepal] :
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=couchdb.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/1963-eunit

Result: Failed: 1.  Skipped: 0.  Passed: 692

I will try to provide the log asap, but my time is very limited until july.... I had a quick glance in sources and sounds OK. I would make the tests less verbose though. Also the build dir in the include file could be found without the need of the autotools. Something like:

{code}
-define(BUILDDIR, filename:absname(
        filename:join([
                filename:dirname(code:which(?MODULE)),
                ".."]))).
{code}

> Pursuant to an IRC/Twitter discussion, it seems that there is some
> support ([~pjdavis1970], [~janl]) to move off of etap. Motivations include etap being unmaintained for 2+ years, eunit shipping with Erlang, and least importantly etap tests being completely broken on the Windows build.
> There are only 63 .t files in the entire source tree; hopefully this is work that can be weekend-tackled by one person, or could be tag-teamed with little friction.
> There was a subsequent discussion about the current, existing JS tests; while there are issues with these and room for improvement, this bug is *strictly* about our white-box etap unit tests and larger multi-instance tests that may not best be accomplished by a JS framework.
