  • Introducing 'Dirt and the City'

    A friend of mine recently started a blog called Dirt and the City and, because he has invited me to contribute to it, I feel like posting a reference here ;-) Dirt and the City is a blog that intends to show you the "ugly" (literally) side of NYC. The blog is named after a famous TV show filmed in this same city; I haven't watched the show myself, but I bet that there is no dirt to be seen in it.

  • Kyua: Weekly status report

    Slow week.  We had some team-related events at work and I have friends over from Dublin, so it has been hard to find some time to do work on Kyua.  Regardless, here comes the weekly report: Split utils::lua into its own package, per some user's request.  I'm still setting up the separate project and have to do lots of cleanup on the code, so nothing is available yet.Started experimenting on the long promised "

  • Splitting utils::lua from Kyua

    If you remember a post from January titled C++ interface to Lua for Kyua (wow, time flies), the Kyua codebase includes a small library to wrap the native Lua C library into a more natural C++ interface. You can take a look at the current code as of r129. Quoting the previous post: The utils::lua library provides thin C++ wrappers around the Lua C API to ease the interaction between C++ and Lua.

  • Kyua: Weekly status report

    Not a very active week: I've been on-call four days and they have been quite intense. Plus I have had to go through a "hurricane" in NYC. That said, I had some time to do a bit of work on Kyua and the results have been nice :-) Made calls to getopt_long(3) work with GNU Getopt by using the correct value of optind to reset option processing.Improved the configure script to error out in a clearer way when missing dependencies (pkg.

  • Kyua: Weekly status report

    Implemented the "debug" command. Still very rudimentary, this command allows the user to run a test case without capturing its stdout nor stderr to aid in debugging of failed test cases. In the future, this command will also allow things like keeping the work directory for manual inspection, or spawning a shell or a debugger in the work directory after a test case is executed. Many build fixes under different platforms in preparation for a 0.

  • Kyua: Weekly status report

    Changed the --config and --variable options to be program-wide instead of command-specific. The configuration file should be able to hold properties that tune the behavior of Kyua, not just the execution of tests, so this makes sense. Added the config subcommand, which provides a way to inspect the configuration as read by Kyua. Got rid of the test_suites_var function from configuration files and replaced it by simple assignments to variables in the test_suites global table.
