[Ironpython-users] IronPython test results now available

[Jeff Hardy]

At long last, the current IronPython test results can be viewed on the
CI server. Go to
http://teamcity.codebetter.com/viewLog.html?buildId=30746&buildTypeId=bt365&tab=buildResultsDiv
and then select 'login as guest'. There's currently 185 passes, 150
failures, and 177 ignored.

Many of the failures share the same root cause (doctest is broken) and
many others are just one test failing that should be easy to fix. Some
of the tests are ignored/disabled because they cause deadlocks,
infinite loops, or StackOverflowExceptions. These aren't clearly
marked, but I'll try to find somewhere to put the 'why'.

Threaded runs are currently broken because the test runner will
occasionally deadlock waiting for results from the tests, so always
run with /threads:1 (which will be the default soon-ish).

The tests don't work on Mac/Linux right now because there's too many
windows-isms hardcoded in. Work is needed there.

If you want to run an individual test, use `test-ipy
/test:<test_name>`. You can find test_name in the IronPython.tests
file to see exactly what the test does.

I'm hoping this will help shine a light on some of the areas of
IronPython that don't quite work as expected and get some fixes in.
