  • Kyua: Weekly status report

    Many things have happened this week, but they can all be summarized in one single sentence: kyua test now records the results of the execution of a test suite into the SQLite database. "Why is this important?", you ask. Well, that's a good question. Recording test results opens the gate to many long-awaited features that should be coming soon, such as the ability to inspect the history of a particular test, to query all available data of a test result and/or to generate a dashboard of test results.

    Submitted a placeholder implementation of the new persistence layer (store top-level directory). This only supports opening a database and ensuring its metadata is valid. See r253.Added a db-exec CLI command to execute arbitrary SQL commands onto the database. This is handy during development and testing, but may also help users to extract information out of the database in those cases where the CLI does not cover their needs just yet.

    Moved all the logic code of the "debug", "list" and "test" commands from the CLI layer to the engine layer.Up until now, the CLI modules implementing these commands contained all the logic to load Kyuafiles and iterating over them to find matching tests and applying the desired operation to them. This kind of code belongs in "driver" modules (aka controllers) of the engine layer, because there is nothing UI-related in them.

    Added support to prepare and execute statements to utils::sqlite.Added the UTILS_PURE definition to tag functions as pure. I should now sweep through old code to apply the attribute where possible.Created a pkgsrc package for Vera++. Investigating if I can use this tool for coding style validation, as the current code of Kyua is a bit messy in this regard.Made a quick attempt at getting kyua test record test results in a simple database; success!

    Some more reading on SQLite. The Using SQLite book is close to awesome; very easy to read and full of insightful tips.Cleaned up my preliminary SQLite wrapper code. Still very incomplete, but I've bitten the bullet and decided to commit the new library as is; otherwise I'll just keep procrastinating. So, ladies and gentlemen, welcome the new utils::sqlite module in Kyua. At the moment, this just provides the barebones to open and close a database.

    Unfortunately, not much time this week either :-(I am currently working on some adjustments to the design document of the database to describe new ideas; the previous design was incomplete in some areas and/or not accurate enough to support the described use cases.  However, I've not had the to time to finish these edits and publish them.

    Unfortunately, no activity this week other than some brainstorming on the database design. Why? My shipment container from Dublin arrived and I spent most of the weekend organizing stuff, setting up my little NetBSD box and attending a friend's wedding!
