Re: Broken Pier

Hi Damien, I strongly disagree with the notion that other people should do work because you broke something. That is exactly what I feared when you first proposed making Pier-Model a separate project. I think the basic issue is that your development needs to happen in an image where you have Pier loaded with all add-ons. You could of course write integration tests for your API changes, but I think just loading Pier might be easier for now. We don’t have issues with the difficult problems, we have with code that simply doesn’t load because classes were moved, or doesn’t run because the inheritance hierarchy was changed. None of which would have happened had you developed in an image where Pier is loaded. I’m looking forward to having web-based testing integrated in CI. That is something we cannot organise from outside Inria. Stephan
