Hi All,

I think it would be good to rework the test framework to not require having
just built the office.
It sounds like a very good idea to me.
Currently, to compile and run the tests, there are dependencies on
environment settings created and files built into main/solver/<version>.
Mostly things like idlc, regmerge, and javamaker etc. and the UNO jar files.
All these file dependencies are also available in either the office that
would be under test or the SDK.
I think it would be a benefit for QA and open the use and development of
automated tests to testers and developers that don't also have a AOO build
environment.
For instance I can run the test suite against Linux where I have a build env
but not on Windows where I don't.
The one big thing about this would be it would require a tester to have the
SDK installed in the office under test.
I think this is a much lower bar than building the office to get them.
Does anyone have an opinion one way or the other?
IMHO I am totally for it.
Unfortunately I do not have resources (and knowledge) to help you at
the moment, but if this is not an urgent matter, we can plan it.
Thanks, I was planning on doing the heavy lifting :)
I've already got a lot of it working on a CentOS 8 machine that I can't
build office on and the tests build and run.
There are more use-cases like running them against the "installed" build
for those that want to build office and test it in place that I still
need to work out.
Best regards,
Carl
I am looking forward to hear other peoples' opinions.
Best regards,
