I'm posting this back to the list. I prefer my Wix discussions to be shared.
I am aware of them, but I have not had a scenario where I have chosen to use them, yet. Conceptually, it requires carefully embedding debug code in your working immediate custom actions that is triggered only when the mutating variable is set to certain values. The part about embedding debugging code into my custom actions is a little scary. But having an immediate custom action complex enough to require several different run scenarios is also scary. I think the need for using mutations can be avoided by making ones immediate custom actions modular enough that they can easily be tested in a linear way. Put another way, if you think you need mutations, maybe you really need to make your custom actions narrower and more modular first. Really complex immediate custom actions that touch more than a few properties are hard to test anyway. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: kirann.he...@gmail.com [mailto:kirann.he...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2013 6:09 AM To: John Cooper Subject: Hello - are you aware of test mutations?Kindly assist me with some answers NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
