Hi all, Currently we run all unit and answer tests on every push. Running answer testing, particularly with FLASH data, takes a long time. (Sidenote: FLASH in 2.x is particularly bad for large data objects, which answer testing does.) This will get worse once Orion and Chombo have been added. I think we're looking at up to 15 minutes per run. This has two effects: 1) Changes which break unit tests take longer to get reported. 2) We'll go through our ShiningPanda monthly allocation quite quickly. There are two solutions that I see: 1) Buy more time on ShiningPanda 2) Only run answer testing at most once a day, but still run unit tests on every push. My proposal is to go with #2 with the backup of #1 as needed. Can I get [+-]1 on this? -Matt

Hi all, Okay, Kacper has volunteered to run answer testing for us. With the FLASH tests, it takes 1:14 on the ShiningPanda instance, which is way too long even to do daily. So the new idea is epsilon different -- ShiningPanda will do a variety of builds, including 2.x, 3.0, etc -- but only unit tests, and still on every push. Kacper will handle answer testing, with whatever frequency he is comfortable. Thank you, Kacper! -Matt On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 12:32 PM, Stephen Skory <s@skory.us> wrote:
