[PATCH] Make test output coloring more intuitive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



1. Change the color of individual known breakages from bold green to
   bold yellow.  This seems more appropriate when considering the
   universal traffic lights coloring scheme, where green conveys the
   impression that everything's OK, and amber that something's not
   quite right.

2. Likewise, change the color of the summarized total number of known
   breakages from bold red to bold yellow to be less alarmist and more
   consistent with the above.

3. Change color of unexpectedly fixed known breakages to bold red.  An
   unexpectedly passing test indicates that the test is wrong or the
   semantics of the code being tested have changed.  Either way this
   is an error which is arguably as bad as a failing test, and as such
   is now counted in the totals too.

The end result of these changes is that:

  - red is _only_ used for things which have gone unexpectedly wrong:
    test failures, unexpected test passes, and failures with the
    framework,

  - yellow is _only_ used for known breakages, and

  - green is _only_ used for things which have gone to plan and
    require no further work to be done.
