User1: Morning All
User2: morning
User3: morning ara
User2: hey eeejay
User2: User3 I may have some time this morning to work on the pidgin test
User3: User2 excellent
User3: User2 do you mind if i got ahead and merge dx to trunk?
User2: User3 go ahead, it is only new classes and new scripts. no "real" merging :)
User3: User2 exactly!
User3: User2 but as for pidgin, i think we might need to add the possibility to have params on the suite level, not just the case level
User2: User3 what for?
User3: User2 for example: <suite blah blah><params><protocol>MSN</protocol>...
User3: User2 because the open() function in pidgin signs in the user and the buddy
User2: User3 mmm, true. maybe it shouldn't. maybe it should just open the application (no signing on) and then use a login method at the testcase level
User3: User2 the problem would be that you sign out/in on every case
User3: User2 my internet here is too slow for that :)
User2: User3 hehehe
User2: User3 yes, that's true. we might need that then. also, it is more flexible. if you came up with a case, some others might come up in the future
User3: User2 the other option is to have a very basic subclass, PidginMsn.protocol = "MSN"
User2: User3 I think having parameters on the testsuite level is better option
User3: User2 yup, so that is less trivial, i'll do it now in my branch. it should take a few minutes
User1: User3 I just read your blog post is the change in backend so apps that don't support at-spi work?
User3: User1 hah, nope.
User1: User3 What is the benefit of it then?
User3: User1 sounder design, and it will be a hopefully automatic transition when GNOME 3.0 comes in
User3: User1 ldtp uses some deprecated libraries, and it has grown a lot over the years
User1: User3 Ah okay.
