- node ext searcher also looks for "iojs" if no node(js?) found.
- koch ensures the local work dir compiler is freshly compiled before executing the tests.
- the tester can only run in the repo dir - now the compiler and libs used are also explicitly the local dirs - so no confusion from system wide pathing ("sufficiently sandboxed").
- fixed expectations in tmitems.nim test to match changes in json mod.
- re-layouted the columns / row printing slightly, making test fails pop out more, and everything "normal" layed back.
Motivation
----------
External tools need to know whether or not any test in suite failed. For
example buildbot, or packaging tool would like to stop the execution and
mark it as failed if some tests does not pass.
Modification
------------
Add `--pedantic` switch to tester program which will force it to quit
with non-zero exit code if at least one failure detected. Also update
`tests()` proc in koch to inspect result from tester and propagate it to
user.
Result
------
Nothing has changed in default behaviour. But following invocations will
exit with non-zero code if there failed tests:
./koch tests --pedantic all
./tests/testament/tester --pedantic all
Since typedesc are exception in macros and they are not implicitly converted to
NimNode on macro call, we need some means to perform such conversion on demand.
Fortunately it is as simple as declaring new magic "NGetType" proc with
typedesc parameter.
NOTE: Keeping actual macro exceptional behavior for typedesc is important,
since it allows passing typedesc macro parameter to other procs or macros
expecting type parameter. If typedesc parameter was implicitly converted, then
we would lost this ability.
