[darcs-users] darcs patch: Add some comments in Darcs.Patch.QuickCheck (and 4 more)

[Reinier Lamers]

Hi all,

These patches mark the end of my efforts to improve the unit tests. We sadly
do not have a unit test suite that runs in seconds yet, but it does:

  * have a better user interface
  * run faster, especially when run in parallel on a multicore
  * allow you to reproduce failures
  * pass

At this point I think it would be a good idea to run the unit tests on more
occasions, like add them to buildbot configuration script.

Also, you can (must! :-)) add more unit tests. If you want to write HUnit- or
QuickCheck-based unit tests for a module, add a module with its unit tests
under Darcs.Test. Include the unit tests in the big list in src/unit.lhs and
you're done.

After a vacation, I'll see if I can work on the XML and text encoding
issues. But starting July 27th, I have a job, so possibly I'll have much
less time for darcs.

Regards,
Reinier

  * Bound size of trees generated in Darcs.Patch.QuickCheck
  
  This keeps the 'Checking that tree flattenings are consistent' test from
  occasionally taking hours and hours to complete. The maximum depth of 5 was
  found by experiment.
