@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)Hey 👋, I'm upgrading mdbook in Nixpkgs. This involves pulling Lix's patch for this. I've made sure that Lix builds with it. Should be boring, but I'd like to make sure the change is ok with y'all. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/46700908:52:30

In reply to @lunaphied:lunaphied.me
I think there were a few CLs on the Gerrit but nothing being actively worked
The other thing that I could do if it helps is test things and try to find bugs. I did do some C++ work in the past, but may lack the time to do it justice here at least for about 30 days or so
15:55:29
@qyriad:katesiria.orgQyriadwe are not in any rush 🙂17:20:53
@samrose:matrix.orgsamroseWould it help to also test out the existing Lix code and try to find issues/bugs etc?17:23:21
@qyriad:katesiria.orgQyriadabsolutely17:23:41
@samrose:matrix.orgsamrose
  • how do people feel about the existing test suite that comes along with nix source code or Lix?
17:23:48
@qyriad:katesiria.orgQyriadit's pitiful17:24:10
@samrose:matrix.orgsamroseheh 17:24:16
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (DECT: 7248)expanding it is cool17:24:23
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (DECT: 7248)writing new tests for builtins which are not tested17:24:30
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (DECT: 7248)new test behaviors, etc.17:24:32
@qyriad:katesiria.orgQyriad we have three flavors of test:
  1. gtest (offer only available in libexpr and libutil)

  2. bash script

  3. virtual machine


the vast, vast majority of testing is in the "bash script" flavor and it is a mess
17:25:01
@samrose:matrix.orgsamroseI was just going to ask on the "functional" tests: do we still like using bash there?17:25:56
