raitobezarius (DECT: 7248) | the broken test was fixed by kloenk (thanks!) | 08:18:38 |
Robert 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/467009 | 08:52:30 |
helle (just a stray cat girl) | we need to backport a small patch for this | 08:54:03 |
helle (just a stray cat girl) | I may have to get someone else to take over on this unless I get a good day today | 08:54:41 |
raitobezarius (DECT: 7248) | which patch? | 08:56:59 |
Robert Hensing (roberth) | helle (just a stray cat girl): oh ok, what for? Is it a blocker? | 08:57:00 |
raitobezarius (DECT: 7248) | roberth already pulled the ≥0.5 support patch | 08:57:09 |
Robert Hensing (roberth) | oops, s/involves/involved | 08:57:54 |

helle (just a stray cat girl) | still waking up | 08:58:35 |
Robert Hensing (roberth) | my bad :) | 08:58:36 |
raitobezarius (DECT: 7248) | I'm running smoketesting, roberth on your PR, once this passes, I will approve as a Lix code owner | 08:59:09 |
Robert Hensing (roberth) | awesome, thanks! | 08:59:20 |
raitobezarius (DECT: 7248) | thanks for pulling the patch! | 08:59:28 |

samrose | 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 | we are not in any rush 🙂 | 17:20:53 |
samrose | Would it help to also test out the existing Lix code and try to find issues/bugs etc? | 17:23:21 |
Qyriad | absolutely | 17:23:41 |
samrose |
- how do people feel about the existing test suite that comes along with nix source code or Lix?
| 17:23:48 |
Qyriad | it's pitiful | 17:24:10 |
samrose | heh | 17:24:16 |
raitobezarius (DECT: 7248) | expanding it is cool | 17:24:23 |
raitobezarius (DECT: 7248) | writing new tests for builtins which are not tested | 17:24:30 |
raitobezarius (DECT: 7248) | new test behaviors, etc. | 17:24:32 |
Qyriad | we have three flavors of test:
gtest (offer only available in libexpr and libutil) bash script virtual machine
the vast, vast majority of testing is in the "bash script" flavor and it is a mess | 17:25:01 |
samrose | I was just going to ask on the "functional" tests: do we still like using bash there? | 17:25:56 |
