As part of continued efforts to move testing to CI, to facilitate release management, and to provide more information to authors I've now implemented some testing changes: 1. Most libraries are now tested automatically if they have a usable test directory. There are still libraries that do not follow the requirements of having all their tests in just the single test directory. You can see which ones those are here < https://github.com/boostorg/boost/blob/develop/status/Jamfile.v2#L101>. Library authors should IMMEDIATELY make changes to their test/Jamfile's to follow the library requirements for testing. Before the next release I plan to blindly remove that custom list of extra test targets. 2. Most structure library requirements are now checked both in the regular full testing and in the CI testing. I've implemented a script to check for most of the library directory structure and integration requirements. The script runs as an additional CI job, currently in Travis. Here's one of those jobs < https://travis-ci.org/boostorg/boost/jobs/137506433>. At the moment it reports 17 libraries as having errors. There are also some warnings, i.e. not requirement violations but just some stuff that may be wrong. The script also runs as part of the general full testing and any problems are reported in each library's results as a single entry at the top of the tables. Here's how one of the test failures looks like < http://tinyurl.com/zbe9gal> [1] [2]. It would be great if library authors address those errors in some form ASAP. I know that for some of those reported libraries there will need to be some discussions as to how to best address the errors. Feel free to start additional threads for those as needed.

Hi Rene, can you point me to an active resource for defining how test directories are meant to be implemented in boost? Thanks, Matt On 15/06/2016 3:14 a.m., Rene Rivera wrote:

The integration requirements has a minimal example Jamfile < http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html#Integration>. If you need something more than that you can ask in the list and also look at what other libraries do. Note that those integration requirements list aliases that are currently not used by testing. As they are meant for future implementation of the test systems. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

How will this interact with libraries that already have their own CI setup? Is your CI triggered whenever a submodule is synced to boostorg/boost? If so, there's going to be quite a bit of redundant testing being done, and since all of boostorg is sharing the same Travis resources (I think), that could quickly become a problem.

My plan is to make how a library uses CI up to the authors. I'm working on a script that will hopefully make it really simple to have a library use CI testing and that authors can essentially drop in (it's the script I use to test Predef by the way). But I'm not going to force anyone to use it. If you already have CI testing you might not want to switch. But hopefully many authors will use it as it will handle multiple CI systems, multiple toolsets, etc. As for sharing resources.. I do believe they are shared across all Boost repos. But we wont be limited to Travis. And there's the possibility of paying for extra resources. And eventually I hope we can turn our existing custom testers into a CI pool also. Most of this the plans are not in the near future. The near ones are trying to clean up and reorganize libraries and test scripts to make it possible to figure out what we can do. And also to make doing releases as automatic and painless as possible for everyone. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

Cool. As long as Hana is not tested twice for every commit that's merged into master, which would be prohibitively expensive in terms of CI resources, that's fine. I'll see if it makes sense for Hana to switch to the CI scripts you provide. Thanks, Louis

This was discussed a bit last year when I was presenting my proposal for testing resources for the current system to the steering committee. I believe the general feeling was that they would love to see CI to the point where we need more Travis (or other) resources, and would entertain proposals once that happened. Tom

Boost.WinAPI does not have documentation, it's not a public library. What should I do about these errors?

I would add a single doc file saying that it's a "private" Boost library.

It's not a requirement. That should be a warning. I'll fix the checker shortly.

You should create it. In the past Daniel added all of them when they first introduced. But authors should be adding that file now. Also there's a python error at the end of the report:

core/test/swap We do have core/test/Jamfile.v2 and core/test/swap/Jamfile.v2. I think the rationale was that Boost.Swap is a sub-library of Boost.Core, and it used to have separate docs as well. Is there a way to #include core/test/swap/Jamfile.v2 into core/test/Jamfile.v2 so that Boost.Swap tests are run and displayed in the test reports?
