[asdf-devel] testing ASDF with cl-test-grid

[Anton Vodonosov]

I patch quicklisp.

I have a directory quicklisp-patched for this purpose.
Copy new asdf.lisp to quicklisp-patched/asdf.lisp and edit quicklisp-patched/setup.lisp 
to change
   (defvar *required-asdf-version* "2.26")
to 
  (defvar *required-asdf-version* "2.31.4")

If you just want to test aserve, you can run a command like

alisp -qq -ee '(load "quicklisp-patched/setup.lisp") -ee '(ql:quickload :aserver)'
(haven't run this, but you see the idea)

If you want to run all the cl-test-grid tests, then in the cl-test-grid/run-agent.lisp
I comment out 
  (test-grid-agent:main *agent*)

and to the following instead:

 (setf (test-grid-agent:lisps *agent*) (list *ccl-1.8-x86* *acl*)   ; lisp implementations I want to test
        (test-grid-agent::result-storage-name *agent*) "asdf"     ; name of the online storage where the results should be sotred
         ) 

   (test-grid-agent::test-patched-quicklisp *agent*
                                            #p"/home/testgrid/quicklisp-patched/"       ; the directory where patched quicklisp is located
                                            "quicklisp 2013-01-28 + asdf.2.31.4-enc-dflt-no-warn + asdf-sys-conn-fix"      ; the name I want to give to that patched quicklisp
                                             )



If you just want to test aserve, you can run
