By the same token, I'm not convinced we should be introducing a new test framework during the freeze period. This is alot simpler than avocado, but at the same time this small subset of Thomas' patches isn't really fixing any problem on its own, as avocado still exists in parallel. With regards, Daniel

This is the big win and time saver for me. Do you really see merging these few patches now as being counter productive for the community? Regards, Phil.

I do feel from the discussion in other threads that "what is the way forward for our currently-in-avocado test cases?" is currently still an open question, so I tend to agree with Daniel that it would be better to resolve that question first, and we don't need to be in a hurry to change things in our test framework during the freeze period. thanks -- PMM

Richard only requirement is a "fetch assets" equivalent. We'll look at. I don't see anything else blocking this test conversion. > so I tend to agree with Daniel > that it would be better to resolve that question first, > and we don't need to be in a hurry to change things in > our test framework during the freeze period. OK. I'll repost without these patches. Regards, Phil.
