DLR test suite

Ruby IronRuby
1

Hey,

I was talking with Seo on #mono about his efforts to test IR and IP on
Mono.

For now, we rely only on tests provided for IP and IR. I was thinking,
you guys must have a dedicated DLR test suite? If so, it would really
be nice to open it as well. Not only to help making us IP and IR first
class citizens on Mono, but also for folks building stuff on the top
of the DLR already.

Yes - we do have a big set of tests for DLR. Let me spin up a thread
with the test team next week (those who are around … :slight_smile: and we’ll look
at how much work it is to drop DLR tests with IronRuby.

FWIW, the plan has always been to spin up a separate DLR project on some
repository somewhere. But of course the plan turns into one of ‘ship DLR
with Ruby, with Python, and by itself’. Which means the DLR sources get
duplicated in 3 places and will be out of sync based on when those
sources get pushed. Suggestions on how to deal with this would be
welcome.

Thanks,
