Hi,
as can be seen from the test.winehq.org site the number of test-runs dramatically dropped. Apart from the fact that there were problems with the automated download of new tests by winrash: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2005/03/0373.html winetest will not run but bail out because there is no visible desktop.
3 of the 5 (!) tests that are now there, where done by me. Where in a 'normal' case we should already have dozens.
I don't want to go into a discussion about the fact that 'running as a service' and 'on a visible desktop' can/cannot live together properly. Or why we should have 'visible' tests or not.
I just want to have as much tests run as possible. I mean that was the whole idea behind it right?
An approach should be decided upon:
- Have (again) volunteers who run the winetest manually/interactively - Use winrash and have every test decide whether it needs interactivity - 'Fix' winrash so tests run, maybe semi-automated, on a visible desktop - ....
An approach for the last is to have winrash fill in one of the 'run' keys (as it does on win98 already during install).
I will be/stay a volunteer for the first approach until we decide what to do.
Cheers,
Paul.

Why not? we could have something like windows automatic updates, when new tests are available we pop up and say "new tests are ready, run now?" and the user can run the tests immediately or later. Like that the testers don't have to check for new tests, but we also run on a visible desktop.

I can give devel access to winrash cvs to anyone that wants it. I'm too busy to work on this stuff myself these days.
