Some notes as I go though the contributing process, in hope that will
be useful to make it smoother:
after a clean checkout and launching dev.bat, brbd would not compile
(today). I believe it reported a missing microsoft.scripting.dll
issue.
opening the solution in VS2008 shows 14 warnings about referenced
components that cannot be found (System, mscorlib, System.Net), not
sure if that’s an issue or not
compiling through VS2008 makes the compile using brbd works
afterwards.
first pass at launching irtests opens a bunch of windows - most of
them fail with failure to load default.mspec (see [1]) - after
searching, the message was caused by an old .mspecrc that was sitting
in my home folder. Removing it solved the issue.
I noticed a runfirst.cmd, should I actually run it or is it obsolete
? It seems to have an error in it (references default.mspec.rb which
has been renamed to default.mspec since).
on a french machine, the MiscTests/NumericLiterals1 fails see [2] -
sounds like a missing InvariantCulture in a float ToString call. I’ll
look into it unless someone fixes it in between.
On irtests execution: the end of irtests launches irtest.bat, run.bat
and 4 mspec in parallels (“start” calls). Is there a need for that (ie
one process that monitors the others) or could it be run sequentially
if it’s more comfortable for me ? The load is putting my machine down
on its knees.

Please remove the ClrAssembly.csproj file from the solution … then all
will build fine. That will be removed shortly.

Hmm, weird. The build configuration was definitely Debug, not
“Silverlight Debug” or something like that?

If you run dev.bat first, this problem should go away. Irtest opens a
bunch of windows, one for each test runner, simply for parallelism.

Runfirst.cmd should be removed, dev.bat is what you want

Please track this with a bug on codeplex, someone else might have
context.

You could make a version of irtest that does them sequentially
A couple of steps later: I meet the following failures while running
irtests on an unmodified fork (by window title, see matching commands
at the end of the mail):
smoke tests => 1 failure
library rubyspec tests => 4 failures, 15 errors in various places
core rubyspec tests => 1 failure, 1 error
I suspect some of these are linked to the fact that I use a french
culture on my machine.
Just do get a point of comparison and know what needs fixing, are all
these supposed to pass, or are some known to fail and that would be
normal ?

It is Debug, not Silverlight Debug. I looked at the .csproj and saw
conditional references to these dll when SilverlightDebug is set.
It seems that the condition is not evaluated properly. Not a big deal
though, it seems to work, but could lead to weird things I guess.

The problem is in IoOps.ToPrintedString, where there is indeed an
obj.ToString() for doubles. Converting it with Convert.ToString(obj,
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) seems to fix the
issue, but I have just tried it in the REPL without running the test
suite yet. If you want, I can commit this fix in my repository if it
passes the tests.
puts 1.1 gives 1,1 here too.
Please commit the fix, this way I’ll be able to see if this solves
other failing tests in french too (I suppose it will).
I’ll have to figure out how to cherry pick one commit from your
branch, the git way

I ran the whole irtests suite after applying the attached patch, based
on what Daniel described.
The good news is that the smoke tests now pass on my french machine.
Library / core errors remain unchanged (I included a log of the
remaining core errors in case someone has more time for this today).
I confirm that I can reproduce this bug on my system too (it-IT). See
below for a simpler test case:
puts 1.1
1,1
=> nil
p 1.1
1.1
=> nil

You can find a slightly modified patch attached to this mail, this is
what I’m going to push on my repository. I think this one is better
than the first one as it removes the overhead of Convert.ToString and
it reduces the number of unboxing operations from object to double.
Thibaut, I have a change to irtests.bat which will give an option to run
the tests in series or in parallel. I will push this through in my next
commit so folks can chose how they want to run the tests…
The one issue with running in series is that if a task fails, you want
to run the remaining tasks as well so that you can have the full list of
failures. However, if you just keep running all tasks in series, the
output of the failing task can scroll out, and then you lose the
information of which test failed. The right solution is to redirect the
output of all the tasks so that you can inspect the log files to see the
details of the failure.
Setting up the output redirection, etc, is more work. A rake task would
be nice so that all the logic can be written in Ruby rather than in
irtests.bat. I will leave this for another day. Let’s see how far
irtests.bat can scale…

thanks for the change! And yeah, let’s see how the batch can scale. If
it gets boring, I’ll try to take a stab at redirecting output.
cheers
