Hi,
I've recently started to work on a few bug fixes, and am also looking at
making some improvements to `find_or_create_alternate`. As part of
this, I need to better understand how to test Bricolage in a development
environment.
I have read the entire Bric::Hacker section, and have contributed a few
minor bug fixes with the help of "Contributing a Bug Fix". However, I
am not clear on the best approach for running tests during the
development process.
I have found `inst/runtests.pl`, but it is failing to connect to the
database. Is there an installation process that I need to run to setup
a test database?
I have ended up running `make dist` and reinstalling Bricolage each time
I want to run the tests, which is okay for a final test, but not really
very efficient for testing as I go.
Is there a standard procedure that Bric hackers go through when
developing and bug fixing?
Regards,
Mike
