How to reproduce bugs?

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

I have noticed that sometimes regressions depend on the order in which things are loaded. For instance, one feature in my compiler was leaving the global variables in a wrong status, causing errors in cl-ppcre. However now I am not entirely able to reproduce a bug that shows up when running the cl-test-grid suite.

How can I run a single test from the command line following the same sequence of steps that cl-test-grid does? Woudln't it make sense to export those steps to the log?

Hello.

When testing load of the libraries, test-grid does (ql:quickload <libname> :verbose t).
When running a testsuite it does (tg-testsuites:libtest <libname>)
Here <libname> is a keyword, like :alexandria, :cl-ppcre.

Yes, it will improve usability. I will do so.

Let me know if you able to reproduce the issue now.

What component do I need to load to have the tg-testsuite? If I load test-grid-tests, all of quicklisp seems to be compiled one way or another :-/

Sorry I not explained that, the asdf system is test-grid-testsuites. It defines package test-grid-testsuites with nickname tg-testsuites

Thanks! Works like a charm now!
