We remove all the todo_ functions, and we add a named param "todo" to all our test functions. This would allow test level TODO-ing.
Then we add the force_todo() function, to allow for file level TODO-ing.
And we introduce some kind of global variable/env variable to do test suite wide TODO-ing.
I don't quite understand the global/env variable idea. Can you explain that in more detail?
It could be something as simple as this:
%*ENV<TODO_ALL_FOR_RELEASE> = 1;
It is really just a hack to allow for quick TODO-ing of all failing tests in the suite. I am not sure how well it will work out to be honest.
This should give us enough granularity of control as well as make it simple to just "flip a switch" for release.
Any thoughts?
I really like the solution you've presented: clean and functional.
Thanks,
I have to give credit to nothingmuch, the "todo" named param was his idea :)
