 samrose | yes it's a rather large undertaking | 17:28:52 |
| samrose | could be done in chunks | 17:28:59 |
 Qyriad | at the very least though, it would be wonderful to have an option for new tests to not just be a mess of bash | 17:29:17 |
| samrose | yes it could be to choose a new approach that this community is truly happy with, rewrite some of the old tests, use it for all new, and then over time rewrite all old | 17:30:00 |
| Qyriad | yeah | 17:30:31 |
| samrose | and also probably you all would want to speak into the testing paradigm to make sure the tests are relevant | 17:30:52 |
| Qyriad | mhmm | 17:33:22 |

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. Python's fine, and it's already part of the buildsystem in other ways. If there's something that's a better idea or more preferred for another reason we can talk about that too | 17:35:04 |

If there's something that's a better idea or more preferred for another reason we can talk about that too It would be nice if someone had written a general cli testing suit in Rust, or Go (which likely would make the test suite run faster) but I am not aware of anything that exists. I think the Rust cli tool community gravitated toward using python due to Pexpect, and a lot of existing tools that are good fit for test suite. | 17:37:19 |
| samrose | (it seems like functional tests need the most help basically if I am not mistaken. Apologies if you basically already said this) | 17:38:19 |
| Qyriad | no they definitely do. those are the "bash" flavor of tests | 17:38:40 |
| samrose | https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/src/branch/main/tests/functional | 17:38:51 |
| Qyriad | yep | 17:38:57 |
| Qyriad | something that probably could be migrated separately is the stuff that sets up the daemon the test suite uses | 17:39:16 |

 puck | domen?? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/741342772c768588878be460f0e1aa9e6d8d0caa/pkgs/by-name/de/devenv/package.nix#L19-L30 | 18:45:40 |
| Qyriad | o.o | 18:46:06 |
| puck | pushed a fix lmao | 18:51:40 |
| Qyriad | Wait to what | 18:52:17 |
| puck | nixos-module; devenv wouldn't build with the overlay attached because it overrided the source of pkgs.nix | 18:52:41 |
| puck | * nixos-module; devenv wouldn't build with the overlay attached because it locally overrided the source of pkgs.nix | 18:52:47 |
| puck | and the build system changes meant that it broke | 18:52:54 |

| Qyriad | ahh | 19:01:23 |

oh so we found another fork of nix? Literally, you can't make this up. | 19:14:05 |

| delroth | Qyriad: if you have some time I'd love some input on whether the fix I have in mind for https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/312 is what you also had in mind (if you did have a fix in mind) / something that matches your expectations | 22:49:57 |
