The testing driver implementation in NixOS is now in Python <filename>make-test-python.nix</filename>.
|
||||||
|
This was done by Jacek Galowicz (<link xlink:href="https://github.com/tfc">@tfc</link>), and with the
|
||||||
|
collaboration of Julian Stecklina (<link xlink:href="https://github.com/blitz">@blitz</link>) and
|
||||||
|
Jana Traue (<link xlink:href="https://github.com/jtraue">@jtraue</link>). All documentation has been updated to use this
|
||||||
|
testing driver, and a vast majority of the 286 tests in NixOS were ported to python driver. In 20.09 the Perl driver implementation,
|
||||||
|
<filename>make-test.nix</filename>, is slated for removal. This should give users of the NixOS integration framework
|
||||||
|
a transitory period to rewrite their tests to use the Python implementation. Users of the Perl driver will see
|
||||||
|
this warning everytime they use it:
|
||||||
|
<screen>
|
||||||
|
<prompt>$ </prompt>warning: Perl VM tests are deprecated and will be removed for 20.09.
|
||||||
|
Please update your tests to use the python test driver.
|
||||||
|
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/71684 for details.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
API compatibility is planned to be kept for at least the next release with the perl driver.
