             Summary: Move from etap to eunit
                 Key: COUCHDB-1963
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1963
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Test Suite
            Reporter: Joan Touzet


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.
