Nicolas is creating an IMAP proxy that will allow to create a test suite<br>for OfflineImap, that is great. However, we will still need a corpus of<br>tests and an OfflineImap-specific scaffold that sets up temporary<br>maildirs, counts the number of mails etc.<br><br>I have started to create something like this, that will already work<br>without the IMAP proxy, and that can be tied into it once, it works.<br><br>I have a very preliminary version up at my branch feature/testsuite, it<br>contains some scaffolding, and so far, it runs only one test:<br><br>It starts the offlineimap binary, connects to an IMAP server, syncs all<br>existing OLItest* folders and tests whether that works without causing<br>any problem/exception.<br><br>It works against real world IMAP servers that you need to specify (it<br>can be a local one or a real Gmail account, for example). I use the<br>python unittest framework for all the heavily lifting.<br><br>The code is still in
quite a flux, but the first test works for me<br>already. I plan on extending this and writing some more basic<br>tests. Once things stabilize, I will invite people to help me create<br>good tests. This is just an announcement of what will come.<br><br>I plan to run this at the very least before each release, if not before<br>every commit.<br><br>P.S. Don't use your productive real email account for the testsuite. It<br>should be safe, but will add/modify folders there.<br><br>Sebastian<br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
