Hi all,
It's somewhat related to testing, but I currently find rather
confusing the way configuration/settings files are handled in the
project.
When compiling with ant it come with no modifications from the
xwiki-standard web app. But when tests are done, it's quite
difficult to find where/what filters these settings and where they
are stored prior to test execution. This is even worse when
different IDE get in the way...
All configuration data is supposed to be in xwiki.cfg.
Moreover, we should certainly be able to test
different
configurations (i.e. different databases, different encodings, etc.).
Yep.
Maybe the handling of these conf files should be rationalized ?
Agreed. What's your suggestion/proposal?
One approach I have in mind for this is to let the build tool build
different xwiki distributions (different databases, different
containers). However this doesn't solve all the possible
configuration variations that exist. I think for these we should be
able to modify them when XWiki is online so that the tests can change
them on the fly. Any other idea?
Thanks

I'm not volunteering for this as it require much more skill than I
can provide... It's just a suggestion, and maybe a request for
comments...

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know I have started a page about Testing on
xwiki.org. It's meant to continue our official testing strategy:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Testing
There isn't much now but we'll go from there and improve it as we
firm up our testing strategy.
Please comment and suggest ideas.
Thanks
-Vincent
