Hello,
I have build a tool that run parserTest.php on each trunk revision, one
by one. The tool is hosted on the wikimedia tool server and run every 15
minutes.
The web interface requires an AJAX browser and can be viewed at:
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~hashar/tinder/
There is a small help page:
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~hashar/tinder/doc.html
Yay - what a useful tool!
Only thing I wondered was maybe whether a link to "find next change" or
"find
previous change" could be helpful. For example, just suppose from the start you
have 300 parser tests, then 5 tests break because of a revision, and then 80 more
revisions pass before 3 of the 5 broken tests are fixed, and then 50 more
revisions until the other 2 tests get fixed, and then 50 more revisions up
until the current point in time.
That's 480 revisions, but only 3 changes in the number of passing tests. Clicking
through 480 revisions at 20 revisions a page would be 24 clicks; but if there
was a way to jump backwards and forwards through just the revisions that change
the number of passing tests, it would be 4 clicks (one for each of the changes +
maybe one for the very first or very last revision).
-- All the best,
Nick.
