Regression testing is not automated
Lack of skill on the part of the author.
Currently I am conducting regression tests on Emacs version that I use daily -- GNU Emacs 29.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2024-04-02. This is on my Ubuntu linux machine with Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and Wayland -- as I use Wayland not X, I compile my Emacs with PGTK enbled.
The regression test is done manually with files under https://github.com/nobiot/org-transclusion/blob/main/test/. I open test-2.0.org and see if any previously working features break.
This is incomplete and inefficient.
One big problem (and should be automated) is to see if the package compiles correctly in the earlier versions of Emacs that the package is supposed to work on. It should work from Emacs 27.1 onward as indicated in the program header.
Help will be much appreciated if PRs can be sent to add:
- Automatic testing for compiling on old Emacs releases
- Automatic testing for any part of the functions of the package
Thank you.
