Use docker for _some_ testing?

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

 



The story started with my problem on Debian, which I didn't have and
didn't want to install a Debian VM just for that problem. So I made a
docker image with the following script.

Which makes me think, could we use something like this to make sure
people (on Linux) can test more obscure cases? Sometimes there are
featues that require some dependencies that are not always present on
the developer's machine (http server is a big one, locales come close
second, then there will be lmdb and watchman in future...). With this,
said developer can do a final test run in docker covering as much as
possible.

Of course it can't cover everything. Different compiler versions are
out. OS-specific changes are out (but wine would be still good to test
some aspect of Windows port, or at least make sure it builds)

Comments?
