How to run Subversion regression tests

[Julian Foad]

I am looking for the recommended way to run the Subversion regression tests during a build of TSVN.

I tried (cd ext\Subversion; python win-tests.py --release) and got this error:

[[[
C:\Users\Julian\source\TSVN\ext\Subversion>python win-tests.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "win-tests.py", line 134, in <module>
    cp.items('options'))
  File "C:\Python27\lib\ConfigParser.py", line 642, in items
    raise NoSectionError(section)
ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'options'
]]]

It tried to parse 'gen-make.opts' and read an 'options' section from it, but there is no 'gen-make.opts' file.

I have previously and successfully run 'nant x64 setup' in here.

I have not (explicitly) run 'gen-make.py'. If I need to do so, then how do I specify the path to APR? From within the "ext\Subversion" directory I tried specifying it as "..\apr" but this fails:

[[[
C:\Users\Julian\source\TSVN\ext\Subversion>python gen-make.py --vsnet-version=2017 --with-openssl=..\openssl --with-zlib=..\zlib --with-apr=..\apr
Generating for Visual Studio 2017

    generator = gen_module.Generator(fname, verfname, other_options)

    bin_files = os.listdir(dll_dir)

I'm afraid those tests won't work with the way TSVN builds those libraries.

The svn tests require that each svn lib is compiled into its own dll, but TSVN builds all svn libs into one big dll instead.

If you want to run the svn tests, you have to make a clean svn build instead from scratch.

OK, thanks for the info.
