RE: RPGUnit vs ILEUnit

So the one that integrates with RDi? Does it still retain the server-side options? Can you post the link?

Subject: AW: RPGUnit vs ILEUnit

RPG unit tests is a difficult topic. As far as I know RPGUnit was the first one. I started with that, but quickly had a need for a RDi plug-in. Since I was in contact with Mihael, I spoke to him and got some basic plug-in code from his "RPGNextGen Editor" (first version). Then I tried to contact the author of the original RPGUnit plug-in in order not to invent the wheel a second time. I never got back a reasonnable answer and at the end I decided to create my own fork of RPGUnit. Meanwhile Mihael created his own ILEUnit for whatever reasons.

So at the end we have a huge mess, because there are:

RPGUnit (original version)
ILEUnit (Mihael's fork)
iRPGUnit (my fork)

I know nothing about ILEUnit and hence I do not know whether or not there is a RDi plug-in. I spend lots of time on creating a good in integration of iRPGUnit into RDi and I assume that it is the only unit test utility with a plug-in.

I wished we could consolidate the three projects but I strongly assume that it is far too much work.

So at the end everbody has to decide himself what version to use.
