The runtests code has been refactored into App::Prove, which allows parrot to make their own ./runtests such as the attached. This gets rid of the need for --harness argument, and also allows for additional argument flag customizations. ./runtests $(perl t/harness --files) Get TAP::Harness from the svn. Note: this distro also contains a lib/Test/Harness.pm and bin/prove -- neither of those are needed for this, and they *might* even cause trouble with the existing parrot test framework. http://svn.hexten.net/tapx/trunk Additionally, there is now parallel testing support with TAP::Harness::Parallel. http://scratchcomputing.com/svn/TAP-Harness-Parallel/trunk This works like: ./runtests --jobs 9 $(perl t/harness --files) And appears to yield a 30-40% decrease in wait time (assuming that tests do not have resource conflicts (shared tempfiles, etc.)) A cursory examination implies that some parrot tests do indeed have such conflicts, but you have to crank -j up to 25 to find them (which is borderline forkbombing.) t/pmc/io.t t/pmc/os.t t/dynoplibs/myops.t t/src/extend.t --Eric -- Like a lot of people, I was mathematically abused as a child. --Paul Graham --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
