[Bese-devel] question about FiveAM & Arnesi bug report: compile fails in Lispworks Pro 5.1 for Linux

[Larry Clapp]

Hi, list,

Newbie wannabe-FiveAM-user here.  FiveAM depends on Arnesi, which
won't compile on LWL 5.1.  Bug-report follows.

I also have a question: Does FiveAM support test-first development,
i.e. does it mind (other than having a failing test) if you define a
test that calls a function or method or whatever that doesn't even
exist yet?

Bug report:

ASDF compiling lexenv.lisp:

  Error: Reader cannot find package LEXICAL.

The code in question is (I think):

  #+(and lispworks (or win32 linux))
  (defmethod environment-p ((environment lexical::environment))
    t)

The class browser shows two packages with an ENVIRONMENT class
(ENVIRONMENT:ENVIRONMENT and COMPILER::ENVIRONMENT), so I'm not sure
which to change it to.

Any suggestions?
