added ability to skip tests during a regression run by issuing an
interrupt signal (ctrl-c). two such signals within 250ms will stop the
run completely
corrected log regression. now makes sure log is clear before beginning
collation
removed all messages from errors package. the strings are now hard coded
in place. the original reason for extracting the error strings like that
was (a) for redundancy and (b) for localisation possibilities. However,
in reality there is not much redundancy and since the project started
the scope of localisation is much larger (particularly due to the
addition of a GUI)
this is the first step. the next step is to remove the errors package
altogether. recent additions to Go mean that the functionality of the
errors package is no longer required. moreover, the original idea for
the errors package functions turns out not to have been as useful as
first appeared (the Error() functionality which makes sure no repeating
sub-strings occur is probably better achieved with static tooling).
one idea that comes from this which is quite interesting is the idea of
a curated error. that is, any error that has been "wrapped" as some
'generic' type. the IsAny() function in the errors package effectively
serves this purpose. we use that in one place in the input loop of the
debugger. not strictly necessary but nice to have so it would ideal
if we could remove the errors package but keep that idea.
the note about historical versions also being covered wasn't strictly
needed and was ugly. the LICENCE being in the root file from the very
first commit is sufficient.
- improved documentation
- some tidying up
o regression
- improved documentation
o digest
- Digest interface now requires Hash() rather than String()
- warning: use of String() may now break things
- small reordering of recording setup to make sure startup events
are transcribed into the playback transcript
o regression/play
- playback regression and playing of playback scripts ...
- ... cartridges not attached with setup system
- any required setup events are in the playback transcript
- setup package now uses database package and matches entries to the
specified cartridge and applies the changes listed
- only panel entries supported so far
- database file must be hand written
- renamed FormattedError to AtariError
- renamed NewFormattedError to New
- implemented Is() and IsAny() for more convenient testing
+ changed all error testing to use Is() and IsAny()
- renamed FatalError to PanicError to better indicate the intent
- added setup package
- rerouted all vcs.AttachCartridge() calls through new package
o regression/database
- split database package from regression package
