[mapserver-dev] Time for a 7.2.1 release?

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

I think you’re right in that MapScript tests can concentrated with their language specific implementations. Msautotest could then, I’d think, execute those tests for enabled languages in addition to those that use mapserv and shp2img. I don’t suppose there’s a way to write a common set of tests for all swig languages (can you swig a test suite).

In this case I'm referring to the Python test suite (that has been recently updated for Python3) at https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/tree/master/mapscript/python/tests - there are also Python tests in msautotests that should maybe be moved here also.
The Python wheel now generated by CMake includes the test suite and accompanying test data from https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/tree/master/tests
This makes it easier to check a Python MapScript deployment is fully functioning.
The examples are in https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/tree/master/mapscript/python/examples - these refer to dbf libraries that may no longer exist, and could do with some cleanup - I'm looking at these at the moment, but new examples won't be ready for the 7.2.1 release.
Regards,

Seth

We’ve tried to definitely include examples with MapScript over the years. Depends what you mean by tests. Seems like all the regression tests should be in msautotest or are you thinking something different?

Hi Steve / list,

A more frequent release cycle (at least for patch releases) sounds good to me.
I'll aim to release a new Python MapScript wheel on PyPI (for Windows) on each new release which will allow incremental improvements (flake8 has just been added and the test suite updated to have a consistent code standard - https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/pull/5670).

There are some useful notes on Python MapScript and Ubuntu builds (from Sebastiaan Couwenberg) are in this thread - https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/ubuntu/2018-September/thread.html#1752

Does anyone have any opinions on whether MapScript should be deployed with tests and examples?
I'm currently updating both and will be trying to get these added to patch releases.

Regards,

Seth
