The reference to lots of fun was debugging the differences between R2
and R3-latest-alpha to ensure one source can run from either.....It was
not a suggestion that any core testers would have more fun using the
interim way of accessing the core tests.
Good news:
Times moved on over the weekend. The interim way of accessing a specific
package has evolved into a general way of accessing any package in the
Library. (More on that in another thread).
Specifically....the best way to get the latest version of Ladislav's
core tests is this one-liner:
do/args
http://www.rebol.org/library/public/repack-solo.r
["core-test-package.r" %install-folder]
Where:
%install-folder -- is the folder into which you want to download the
tests.
It only downloads the tests if your local copy differs from the master
copy, so feel free to run regularly to get the latest tests.
And it should run unchanged with either R2 or R3
Now the bad news:
It is known to trigger CureCode ticket #1575 when running R3 on a MAC.
Only work-around found so far is to turn a trace on....
trace/function true
....And that increases the run time considerably.
Thanks to Peter Wood, Maxim, and Ladislav for help in testing repack-solo.r
