Extensive testing

Manfred Stienstra, 12 Sep 2006, 16:04 in ruby on rails and unicode (edit).

Today I’ve been merging the Rails multibyte support from Julik’s unicode hacks plugin into the current edge source. After a few testruns my Mac Mini started complaining about the normalization conformance tests…

Finished in 102.769516 seconds.

460 tests, 353652 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

I guess I’ll have to fix the Rakefile so I don’t overheat everyone’s computer.

    Looks like you've got yourself an assertion generator in there :)

    Almost correct. It's 2 megs of normalization conformance tests from the Unicode specifications.

    Damn, I'm going to have to update my talk now. :)

    Seriously, that's fantastic news -- thanks very much for doing this!

    I noticed that my work on the hacks has accelerated somewhat as soon as I got my G5 Quad up and running. Doing the same on my old Powerbook (with all possible implementations included) took around 10 minutes. You can have a lunch and barely notice.

    I noticed that multibyte support was merged into Edge Rails recently. Thank you so much for this! I very much appreciate Julik and your work on this very important patch.

    In my opinion this was one of the biggest missing pieces in Rails, and hopefully silence some of the detractors. Thanks again.
