That's the best part of open source software! A surprising amount of the time, the user IS a programmer, and thus is able to provide tests. And it's not that we should require anyone to provide tests before they report a bug, but they should be required to outline the steps to reproduce the behavior, so any programmer could take 5 minutes and quickly whip up a test. ps: I almost have a baby ert framework for org-mode. It doesn't do anything yet, but the design is you write a test, and add it to the org-test-hook to be run by org-test-all. -- . : [ + carpe diem totus tuus + ] : . _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
