In this post, we'll take a look at:
This week I implemented CMake packaging configuration for FOSSology. The new configuration fixes issue with previous packaging configurations. It also retains the component wise installation features.
Week 8 Progress #
CMake Packaging configuration almost completed.
- Packages can be built according to the FOSSology previous packaging structure.
- Initial testing configuration added.
- Ninja build has been fixed.
- To test the current progress, follow the instructions here
Discussions #
- How is the testing implemented in FOSSology?
- Not all agents have testing implemented.
- There are two types of tests Unit and Functional.
- At first, the test executable calls multiple PHP scripts to create a test environment. And then tests are executed.
- Files related to testing and common for all the agents are in
src/testing - Other tests depends on
phpunit. This PHPUnit is generated insidevendor.
- As of now, the testing configurations are hardcoded, what should I
do, because it seems the testing configuration will require changes to
a lot of files?
- Decide a deadline for the testing configuration and if until that point there is not very productive implementation then move to the next task that is implementing CI.
- As of now building, installation, and packaging via CMake is working and in a stable state. To create an initial Pull Request. This would also be useful in case of the final evaluation and further testing will be based on this PR itself.
- Fix any bugs or if there is the scope of improvement in Building, Installation and Packaging do that.
Conclusion and Further Plans #
- Prepare for an initial PR.
- Fix known bugs and apply Improvements.
- Work on testing configurations.
