sky1e: What are your plans for the Value outParam CLs? Will you migrate everything given enough time? (Though not sure if migrating all the primops would be a good idea …) My intent is to ultimately work towards https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/744, and a major step of fixing all existing deprecated declaration usage is to remove all default constructions of Value | 15:36:49 |
| sky1e | Out param functions can't be used without having an existing value to pass in, and usually that's default constructed | 15:40:27 |
 piegames | So you're planning to also work on the OpenSSL deprecations etc. eventually? | 15:40:59 |
| sky1e | I don't know, I haven't gotten that far. I figured incremental progress towards it would be helpful and appreciated for however long as I managed to stay focused on this task. It also depends on how hard the OpenSSL deprecations would be to fix. I don't know anything about them | 15:44:33 |

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 |
| samrose | the last time that I worked on a major nix related cli project that used bash, or bats for testing, over time it became rather kind of hard to maintain | 17:26:42 |
| samrose | I am not usually a big python fan, but in that project we heard from some in the Rust community that they actually use Python to test CLI and seem to have success there. | 17:27:59 |
