APR-Util Test Suite

[Paul Querna <ch...@force-elite.com>]

Hello,
	I know the main APR Test Suite has largely been rewritten. I would like
to add more tests for APR-Util's URI functions (because I *know* they
fail in some cases), but I don't want to waste time on this if they will
be discarded once APR-Util's Test suite is updated.

Is it possible to make test framework changes in APR-Util?

If at least initial framework gets done, I can make tests that are
useful.  I can start doing it myself, but I believe there are other
people (Ryan Bloom maybe?) who know the newer framework and would be the
best person to get it started in APR-Util.

Thanks, 
 - Paul Querna

Cool. Good idea.

Well, if you look at how the change was done with apr, the existing tests
were moved over and that should be the intention when the apr-util test
suite is upgraded.

I think we should be using a single framework in both apr and apr-util, so
yes.

If you have the time then converting the test suite would be great. Joe
orton has been doing a bit of work on the suite in apr, but Ryan's wife
has just delivered an addition to his family so he'll be less than active
for a while I suspect. If you want to wait and just write tests for the
current test suite then do that.

The fact that you want to write the tests is good :-)

Changing to the new framework for apr-util is trivial, because there is
just one test file that is actually using it.  What is more annoying is
re-writing all of the existing test files to use the framework, which I
just don't have the time for right now.  I'll try to get to updating the
test framework itself sometime soon.
