Hi Everyone,

Aurélien Pupier and I noticed that there are no active maintainers on the project. Pull requests are not integrated, issues are not triaged or answered.

We discussed with David Gageot at Mixt-IT Lyon who confirmed that he was too busy to spend time on infinitest lately.

Aurélien Pupier and I are interested in becoming maintainers on the project if it's ok with everyone.

Our goal is to move the project forward. Our short term actions plan is to:
  • Triage backlog of issues
  • Integrate relevant pull requests
  • Clarify how to contribute Provide guidelines CONTRIBUTING.md
  • Add some overview of the architecture/design to help contributing
  • Enable Travis to build PR
  • Fix reported bugs

This should allow us to ramp-up on the internals of the project and send a signal that the project is not dead.


Then there are some axis around which we would like to improve the project:

  • Easier adoption on large workspaces with legacy projects containing slow tests

    • More powerful filtering of filters

      • Inclusion filters

      • Filtering based on junit categories…

      • Auto-exclude slow tests?

    • Allow disabling infinitest completely for some project

      • To allow disabling file change monitoring and static analyazis

  • Improve user experience

    • (eclipse) Configurable error levels

    • (eclipse) Use dedicated marker instead of error marker

    • Investigate reporting errors inside the IDE test runner view?

    • Investigate using standard IDE preference pages to configure exclusions

    • Easier way to kill/suspend/restart running tests

  • Investigate possible integration and reporting with other testing tools

    • Code coverage integration (jacoco)

    • Mutation testing (PIT test)

  • Support of other test frameworks:

  • JUnit 5

  • Others?

  • Investigate "Integration"/UI tests enablement

    • allow to launch JUnit plug-in tests

    • allow to launch UI tests in a separate X server

Infinitest is a very useful tool and it would be great to have it actively maintain again!

Sebastien, 

Since nobody raised against it, I'm happy to welcome you both as new maintainers!
Please contact me for any details you might need to proceed.

David.

Hi folks,

any news on how the project will be maintained in the future?
The last commit at https://github.com/infinitest/infinitest was on 20 Oct 2016.

Is there a fork that is actively maintained?

Would be great to see infinitest flourish. :-)

Hi Thomas,

Unfortunately I don't have much time to work on infinitest.

If you wish to join team and help maintain infinitest you are most welcome.

-Seb
