master.openjsan.org status and uploading new modules

j...@apt202.net (John Cappiello) — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 14:08:41 UT

Hi all, sorry for the cross post.
As some of you may know, we lost master.openjsan.org. As a result, both
the source control repository is down, as is the ability to upload new
jsan modules.
The impact of this was further exacerbated by my own lack of migrating
sooner.
The good news is, work is well underway to revive everything.

It does seems like openjsan.org upload is broken again.

Hi all,
I've trying to upload new dists about a week ago, but it never shows
up in the front-page, and then if tried to upload the same dist again
it gave me an 500 server error.

so here are a few mockups that might work to clean up and focus the

I would be happy to take a stab at improving the design and layout for
the site (todo #3)

A call to action or just a todo list?

j...@apt202.net (John Cappiello) — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 16:45:24 UT

I tried to write some inspirational words, but decided that while I
might find them inspirational, they were probably just a waste of time.
So rather than a call to action, I'm just going to throw out a short
list of todos, that I'm hoping people will add to and expand upon.
These are in no particular order.

I am looking into supporting SpiderMonkey. It should be pretty straightforward.
One downside is that there is a bug in SpiderMonkey 1.5 that prevents
the File object from being used. Thus, even if JSAN would support
SpiderMonkey, you still have to download SpiderMonkey from mozilla CVS

Hi,
2006/4/5, David Wheeler <da...@kineticode.com>:
Test.Builder already has the code of doing so, but Test.Harness did not.
When running tests from console, the displayable characters are
limited to the locale of the console. In other words, messages with
unicode characters might not be displayed.

From what I'm understanding, this will work on Windows. Is there a
similar solution for Mac/Linux?

Hey, sweet! I don't really have the tuits to integrate this into T.S
right now, but I'll hang on to it for when I do. But in the meantime,
a few questions/comments:
Uh, there should already be a message when more or fewer tests are
run than declared. Were they not working?
That looks fine.
Cool!

I wrote Test.Harness.ASP and Test.Harness.WSH. Patches to JSAN.js and
Test.Simple are attached.
Patch to Test.Simple has became a bit large. Below are the changes that I made.
Due to the fact that I added code to Test/Harness.js to handle
overruns / underruns, Test.Harness.* will display an underrun error

I have no idea why you'd want to. *grins* I'm just saying that this
isn't something IIS can lord over us.

That's only for pages that were served by that server. So,
theoretically, the JS should be vetted already.
Plus, you can theoretically do the same thing with Apache,
Spidermonkey, and a PostProcess handler.

I see.
I am not sure whether ASP / JavaScript has some kind of tainting.
Anyway, IMHO, all programming languages with eval have the same
problem. It is a tradeoff between security and programability...

Re: Using JSAN out of the Browser

da...@kineticode.com (David Wheeler) — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 05:14:16 UT

No, I just meant that it seemed strange that you could tell IIS to
run whatever JS you want from within a page. I'm sure that it has
safegaurds builtin, but that doesn't mean that they're wholly adequate.
But, no, calling eval is the way to go, AFAIK.
Best,
David
