@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusok maybe this is a privileged button15:15:55
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusi will have to check15:15:57
@k900:0upti.meK900It probably is15:16:22
@k900:0upti.meK900It would make more sense if it was15:16:30
@kloenk:kloenk.eukloenkwith what you send me its allowed for Change Owner but blocked for registered user. but change owner should be the one that applies here15:18:05
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusbut then he's change owner15:18:17
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusso…15:18:18
@kloenk:kloenk.eukloenkyeah confused as well (why I looked into the config)15:18:32
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusthat's a problem for future Raito15:18:33

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

@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.orgraitobezariusexpanding it is cool17:24:23
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariuswriting new tests for builtins which are not tested17:24:30
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusnew 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
@samrose:matrix.orgsamroseI 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
