Hi,
I just ran winetest (by double clicking on the executable) on my WinXP box. I was missing some advpack popups that were there before. Francois sent in a patch to only do some particular tests when winetest_interactive is true. I would assume that clicking on a executable is interactive, not?
No, it's not. The application (winetest.exe) cannot tell whether someone double-clicked on the exe in a file manager, whether it was started by some sort of a cron job, or whether it was started by autorun when you 'inserted a CD in the drive' (which is what I usually do).
Plus the way you start winetest really tells nothing about whether you want to run the extra tests (which are going to resize your screen to a gazillion different resolutions, play tons of tunes, and ask for your attention again and again). Maybe you just started the test before goign to bed and expect them to run to completion and turn the computer off without your intervention.
One possibility would be to add a checkbox to the winetest GUI that you would check if you wanted to run the extra tests. Actually it would be nice if it also let you specify the debug level to run the tests with.
But right now the solution is to just do:
set WINETEST_INTERACTIVE=1 winetest.exe
