Hello all, currently winrash users aren't returning any results from their testing. This is because we need tests to run on a visible desktop, better still in interactive mode. To save both the tests and winrash we need winrash to be somewhat similar to windows automatic updates, when new tests are available, winrash should pop up and say "new tests are available, run now?" and then give a yes/no, later option. Like this we can have interactive tests, and use winrash so people don't have to remember to download/run the tests. I do it but downloading the exe manually/opening a command line in the desktop/running the tests with the -t option/deleting the test.exe file isn't exactly user friendly. Maybe this task should go in the todo list, or should at least go on the web site somewhere, it would be an attractive task for newcomers with windows programming experience. Ivan.

I have already sent links to documents on MSDN that state how to make a service run on an interactive desktop. As some of the tests are a little distracting graphically, we should probably do the dialog as you suggest. I guess this is really up to the people running the test machines. If the source to winrash was in the Wine tree I would already have fixed it by now. Rob

Currently the tests also open a windows explorer windows, and leaves it open. Recently winetest is leaving a testdir directory behind it, so cleanup needs to be done better. I think the whole winetest gui should go up when tests are run, so the user can get the progress bar. Winrash can probably be integrated into the CVS in programs/. I would help myself but I lack a real win installation (not couting qemu), a recent build of win, and need to get on with ntoskrnl. Ivan.

This testdir comes from dlls/shell32/tests/shlfolder.c; RemoveDirectoryA in line 78 can fail somehow. Also, the return in line 147 doesn't do the necessary cleanup after CreateFileFolders() in line 144. Having no Windows is really a drag when fixing conformance tests... Btw I'm adding a tag entry dialog to winetest. But not sure if it can delete itself any way... -- Feri.

The source has been available on Sourceforge since the project started. Patches welcome :-) I'm certainly open to having it imported into the wine tree if there is some desire. Chris

It's not as if winrash is the sort of project that can live a life of its own, it might as well be in the winehq CVS, chances of people looking at it/improving it would be much higher. Ivan.

Ah, ok. I've never seen a link to the project. Here's a patch that should fix the creating of a service so that it appears on an interactive window station. Rob

Ohhh! This is interesting! Does this mean the service will have a desktop to interact with? regards, Jakob
Can we get winrash into the wine tree or is the plan to keep it separate? Chris On Friday 25 March 2005 1:16 pm, Robert Shearman wrote:

True, it's probably better if we have it in the tree, but last time we've tried to place it there, Alexandre refused. Truth is that one can view it as an independent project, but I doubt others will find it useful. It's too much hassle to handle it outside the tree, nobody bothers. Maybe we should ask Alexandre again? -- Dimi.
