  • Writing Test Cases
    Sunday, August 10, 2008 - 14:26
    I've found out a couple of things while trying to write my test cases for SimpleTest:
    • You can debug the POSTs and GETs using <code>drupal_set_message($this->_content);</code> which will display the page as a message.

    This is a list of automated tests that are run so far. There are four kinds of users that are used in the testing

  • Automated Testing and Requirements Testing
    Thursday, August 7, 2008 - 15:15

    Thanks to Kiam who posted a bug at http://drupal.org/node/292242 I learned a way to properly do requirements testing to make sure the core Blog module is disabled before EveryBlog is installed.

    Automated testing looks like its the way to go to help reduce the number of bugs that show up in releases. Drupal's SimpleTest module looks like it should be pretty straight forward, and it has plenty of helper functions to make my life easier as I code up the tests.

    Wednesday, August 6, 2008 - 22:21

    The new version of the module promises lots of changes.

    Development Goals:

    • Add another node-type for Blog, make two node types, Blog and Blog Entry.
      • Helps with keeping taxonomy per blog
      • Allows CCK fields per blog
    • Rework categorization to use taxonomies properly
    • Automated testing to reduce the number of bugs that make it into releases

    And much more. Check back here for more details and development updates. There is a forum for talking about EveryBlog at http://drupal.org/node/288813

    EveryBlog is meant to be a replacement for the default Drupal Blog module.

    May 25, 2009: EveryBlog is pretty much tabled as the core functionality is easily implemented using views and taxonomy, this site for instance is using taxonomy for both tagging posts and placing them within specific "blogs" and then views are used to display matching posts. Hence the overhead of an entirely seperate module is not needed as it is fairly easily to do using existing solutions which are likely to be far more stable due to their larger development community.

    Description

    EveryBlog is the every man of blog modules. Its a replacement for Drupal's built-in Blog module that allows users to have multiple blogs. Each blog has its own name instead of being "So-in-so's Blog" and blogs can be grouped into categories. Categories are actually just a vocabulary that you have chosen to use for categorizing blogs (set via the settings page).
