The first entry in smokecurrent.gitbranch is what get's smoked. Personally, I start all smoke-test runs manually, so I simply manually set the first line to the branch I want to smoke. Others may be able to tell you about setting up cron jobs to smoke all branches upon their first appearance.

The Test-Smoke codebase is large. I have never been able to hold it in my head enough to figure out the complete workflow or to attempt more than modest refactorings. I suspect a lot of it is superfluous or outdated, but I can't be sure which parts. Thank you very much. Jim KeenanThread Previous | Thread Next
