[xwiki-dev] Testing guide on xwiki.org

[Gilles Serasset]

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...

Moreover, we should certainly be able to test different  
configurations (i.e. different databases, different encodings, etc.).

Maybe the handling of these conf files should be rationalized ?

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...

Regards,

Gilles,
