Unsorted

• Write better tests for:

  • AttachFile

  • UID generator (started, need some help with what this actually does)
  • send_file (blackbox testing with werkzeug.test.Client)

• move away from AllContext, start placing appropiate calls to context.become(...)

  • actually may result in often switching context, because everything is so cluttered and everybody used request as the dumpster in the past

• test_auth failing one test
  • somehow the http-caching headers are set wrongly

Unittesting

How to make testing nicer with WSGI?

• Already using werkzeug.test.Client for some tests
  • Nice enough for blackbox testing?
  • Where to use this in other tests to make them nicer to read?
• How to make internal tests easier to write?
  • needs access to internal attributes (request.user e.g.) and perhaps sometimes output too

    • output resides in a list in MoinMoin.web.request.Request (thanks request.write-calls!)

    • most internal attributes are proxied into the request-environ

Packaging & deployment scripts

• werkzeug is a new dependency. How to satisfy this for shipping MoinMoin?

  • Bundling vs. documentation?

  • Not bundling would make MoinMoin incompatible with batteries-only-python

• make deployment scripts system-wide and come up with some automagic way of finding wikiconfig.py?
  • copying and editing the .cgi/.fcg scripts feels always a bit awkward for installations
  • environment variable?
  • anything else?
