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
@samrose:matrix.orgsamrosethe 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 maintain17:26:42
