Re: [hyades-dev] Test Execution Harness & Test Completion Notification

[Joseph P Toomey <jptoomey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Julien,

This is an interesting question.  Javier
has requested perhaps a similar improvement:  he'd like the launchTest()
method to return an IExecutor interface instead of an error string.  I
think this is a good proposal, because with the IExecutor interface, you
can send control events the running test, and without this capability today,
we have to grovel through all the sessions to find the right executor in
order to simply stop a test.

I'm already planning on making the change
that Javier requested -- hopefully today or tomorrow.  The other side
of this request is that we'll also have some code in the workbench that
maintains a collection of IExecutors for the tests that are currently running,
and for each of these, we'll register a state change listener for the IExecutor
going into the "dead" state (when the test has finished) and
then remove it from the collection.  Given those things, would it
be sufficient for you to poll the collection to find out when your test
has completed, or do you want a discrete notification?  Does this
seem like an acceptable solution?  If not, let's discuss it further
and figure out what we need to do to get you a good solution. 

Thanks Julien,
--Joe

Subject	[hyades-dev] Test Execution Harness & Test Completion Notification

Is there any plan to implement a mechanism to be notified when a test execution
is completed? More exactly, when the .execution file is ready to be opened?
If the answer is no, then  I propose myself to implement it.

Thanks,
