[Rails] Where to report ActiveRecord unit test failures?
I just wondered - what is the policy on unit test failures in the ActiveRecord trunk? Actually I''ve got two questions... - is it normal for the trunk to fail unit tests, or is it always an oversight when this happens? - if you notice test failures, what should you do to inform people? Specifically, I''m testing a version of a patch that someone else has modified. I just checked out the trunk and ran the unit tests on SQL Server to get a baseline before I applied the patch, but got 6 failures and 4 errors. I''m guessing that relatively few Rails developers use SQL Server so the tests are not run against it as often (we still use it at work for some stuff so I have access to a copy). How do you get round the problem of different developers using different systems? Or is the Rails team already hiding a big datacentre somewhere, running SQL Server, DB2 and Oracle enterprise editions checking that nothing ever breaks... Ashley
