| ara | cr3: morning :-) | 15:57 |
| cr3 | ara: hiya! | 15:57 |
| ara | cr3: how are you doing? | 15:57 |
| cr3 | ara: all good, working on some exciting stuff | 15:58 |
| cr3 | ara: and you, how's desktop testing coming along? | 15:59 |
| ara | cr3: all good, we will need to discuss at uds about hte gnome participation, but so far so good | 16:00 |
| ara | about that, how did you start ldtp + at-spi-registry to be more reliable? | 16:00 |
| ara | I cannot remember | 16:00 |
| ara | cr3 ^ | 16:00 |
| cr3 | ara: do you have all tests closing windows now? and can the test suite be run multiple times in a row, there was a problem with some applications which have forms to complete when first opened | 16:01 |
| cr3 | ara: are you having reliability issues when running it as yourself? the concern I worked on was mostly when running it as root on behalf of another user | 16:01 |
| ara | cr3: yes, sometimes ldtp server just fails. good news is that nagappan is moving ldtp core from C to Python. wohoo! | 16:02 |
| cr3 | ara: might it be too late to start such a migration from C to Python considering Strongwind is starting to get noticed by Gnome | 16:03 |
| ara | cr3: well, strongwind is in a very early stage. Maybe they could join both projects | 16:04 |
| cr3 | ara: that would sound like a win, instead of scattering resources. it's not as if they seem that different anyways, it's just a layer over at-spi | 16:05 |
| ara | cr3: yes, definitely | 16:06 |
| nagappan | hi cr3 | 21:38 |
| cr3 | nagappan: hi there! | 21:51 |
| cr3 | nagappan: ara tells me you're thinking of rewriting the C parts of ldtp to Python | 21:51 |
| nagappan | cr3, I have already done the recording part, currently doing the execution engine | 21:54 |
| nagappan | cr3, have sent email | 21:54 |
| nagappan | cr3, to you and other GNOME guys | 21:54 |
| nagappan | cr3, requesting your inputs | 21:54 |
| cr3 | nagappan: nice! how do you feel about strongwind in respect to ldtp? | 21:55 |
| nagappan | cr3, StrongWind, doesn't have many ready made API as LDTP, just my opinion :) LDTP is easy for QA engineers and StrongWind will be easy for developers to extend the framework | 21:57 |
| cr3 | nagappan: my concern is that it seems like a duplication of effort and, if ldtp has many ready many API, that could be useful for developers as well | 21:58 |
| cr3 | nagappan: is strongwind a project that was initiated by gnome or someone else? | 21:59 |
| nagappan | cr3, by Medsphere | 22:00 |
| cr3 | nagappan: sounds corporate, so I still don't quite understand the motivation for choosing strongwind over ldtp :( | 22:02 |
| nagappan | cr3, :) | 22:03 |
| nagappan | cr3, currently LDTP being used by VMware, Palm Source, ofcourse Ubuntu, Evolution project, soon there will be announcement from European Union | 22:03 |
| nagappan | cr3, http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/ldtp-dev/2008-June/000625.html | 22:04 |
| nagappan | cr3, some work is going on, which I can't share now much | 22:04 |
| cr3 | nagappan: and it's been used by Novell for a long time | 22:04 |
| nagappan | cr3, yes | 22:04 |
| cr3 | nagappan: the list goes on, which begs the question even more why to choose something else :( | 22:04 |
| nagappan | cr3, I don't know from where StrongWind suddenly came, I don't see much activity, apart from some one speaking | 22:05 |
| nagappan | cr3, anyways I don't want to speak much on public channel about other tools | 22:06 |
| nagappan | cr3, I can share a doc, which my manager created before moving from Dogtail to LDTP for VMware Workstation testing | 22:07 |
| cr3 | nagappan: I understand, but this should also be of public concern how we're suddenly scattering resources which breaks my heart :( | 22:07 |
| nagappan | cr3, I can give data from my side, about LDTP | 22:08 |
| cr3 | nagappan: might you happen to know if there's any form of compatibility between ldtp and strongwind so that tests can potentially be shared between the two projects? | 22:12 |
| nagappan | cr3, as of now there is no, probably we can look into it | 22:12 |
| cr3 | nagappan: will you be at fosscamp and/or uds? | 22:12 |
| nagappan | cr3, I will attend the Ubuntu conf in Mountain View, this year end | 22:13 |
| nagappan | cr3, ara has invited me :) | 22:13 |
| cr3 | nagappan: she rocks! | 22:13 |
| nagappan | cr3, BTW did you got the other email from me ? | 22:14 |
| nagappan | cr3, 2 emails | 22:15 |
| cr3 | nagappan: the one about enlarging my manhood? seriously, I received both of 'em :) | 22:19 |
| nagappan | cr3, cool | 22:22 |
| nagappan | cr3, need your valuable inputs | 22:22 |
| cr3 | nagappan: I'm not sure I understand: Let us work on the application level common things together. Could you please provide us info on how to go about ? | 22:23 |
| nagappan | cr3, I mean, the applications are common for all the distribution | 22:23 |
