[mapserver-dev] cunit / RFC 12

[Paul Ramsey]

Devs,

As I work through the postgis driver, I'm wanting to test individual
components of it (data defn parsing, SQL generation, geometry parsing,
etc), without invoking a whole Mapserver run... sort of like unit
testing. I might just write a wee program to do that, but I was
wondering if a more formal approach is worth pursuing?

I see RFC 12 brought cunit to the plate, but that's as far as it went.
Certainly, getting coverage of the code base this late in the game is
going to be hard/impossible, but for new functionality, it has to be
useful to have some unit tests in place as one works, no?

Any interest / disinterest in pursuing this?

Paul
