break up the runtestprotocol and create a sequence of setup/teardown/call actions #895

Open RonnyPfannschmidt opened 9 years ago

RonnyPfannschmidt commented 9 years ago

the current usage of setupstate and runtestprotocol creates problematic quirks with tear-down, to elevate that problem and separate reports better, we should instead have a generator for setup/teardown actions and use those to report setup of items and fixtures as well as the running of items

that way we could remove the need for next-item and ensure each report is much more specific

I don't understand this issue, but I doubt it should block 3.0. Let me know if you disagree.

@RonnyPfannschmidt is this something you want to tackle for 4.1 or 4.2 still?

RonnyPfannschmidt commented 5 years ago

@nicoddemus i beelive its more of a 6.0 or 7.0 thing - it will require breaking changes

before delving into it i'd like to resolve config, nodes and storage apis since doing it before would incur really bad and strange tech debt

@RonnyPfannschmidt I'm moving this for the 7.0 milestone (just so we don't lose sight of it, I believe this will take more work even for 7.0 still).

This huge chuck will stay with us longer than we wish

@RonnyPfannschmidt: before delving into it i'd like to resolve config, nodes and storage apis since doing it before would incur really bad and strange tech debt

Are there tickets already for how config / node / storage APIs would need to be changed to be able to do this? If not, could you write up what you think is necessary?

RonnyPfannschmidt commented 3 years ago

We have a couple of issues and projects about it

It's unlikely I can work on this before February /March

Projects was the right place to look, thanks! :)
