Things I want
|
|
|
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Molly guard
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
The Molly-guard should be more accepting so that people don't have to use it
|
|
|
|
|
all the time and thus get used to using it. For example, you shouldn't need to
|
|
|
|
|
pass -f in this case.

Test speed
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
Make tests run faster.
|

|
|
|
First, easier thing is probably to run tests in parallel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Second, also easier thing is to tell people to save things to RAM rather than
|
|
|
|
|
disk whenever they can.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Third, harder thing is to put the test suite in RAM automatically. Maybe the
|
|
|
|
|
whole test directory, which includes fixtures, gets copied to a tmpfs if one
|
|
|
|
|
exists.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hmm or maybe there's a compromise: Tell people to mount /tmp as a tmpfs so
|
|
|
|
|
that temp files are fast. Maybe allow people to set some other directory as
|
|
|
|
|
the temporary file place, in case they want a different tmpfs location.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Options
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
I want long options. For example, there's presently -f and -e.
|
|
|
|
|
I want to make them -f|--force and -e|--exit.

|
Environment variables
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
Do something to make it easier to debug environment variables, because that is
|
|
|
|
|
often confusing.

|
|
|
|
|
Documenting that people should run "env" when their tests fail might be good
|
|
|
|
|
enough.

Licensing and copyright

|
|
|
* Reference all owners and years in the Copyright file
|
|

|
* Consider copyleft licenses
|

|
|

Packaging
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
Package for package managers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* I want NixOS, of course.
|
|
|
|
|
* Debian is probably the big one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other interesting package managers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Update the npm package
|
|
|
|
|
* Homebrew (for Mac)
|
