the details are:

• make test_c++: it tests all c++ test code in the test folder
• make test_js: it tests all .js files in the unit folder
• make test_js_file: it tests a specific file in the unit folder
  • ex)make test_js_file f=test_like.js

Thanks a lot Scott!!

This lab is so useful, it has only skeleton that we should know:

The extension on Firefox3 seems like working these steps

1. Looking the extensions folder’s list in “C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\PROFILE_NAME\extensions”

2. If the folder has a new file, it goes into the URL in the file—in our case “c:/temp/addtabbeside”

3. The tree in the addtabbeside should like this:
c:\temp\ addtabbeside\
                                         install.rdf
                                         chrome.manifest
                                         chrome\
                                                        content\
                                                              *******.js files
                                                              overlay.xul

4. Run Forefox3, then Firefox3 opens a pop-up windows that has “1 new add-on installed” message

Thanks again Dave, and Scott

Let’s digging..

How can I start my words, Hum, Okay This Open Source Project is not easy to me because I am not a Linux guy, I am not a C++ professional, and I’ve never ever read the 6-8million lines source code before.

I am a CPD student who learn C++ just last two semesters, thus, everything is new and not familiar..

Also, I am learning Open Source with other students who are the Linux students, BS students, or have experiences in these fields before.

I am an OSD600 student not OSD900 or DSP909 that having almost nothing knowledge of this Open Source Project, and trying everything by reading “wiki” and “IRC(?)”

I read Jason Tarka’s blog post that he did NOT “really learn it because he knew it”, then I am the only one who does not follow these steps…

Okay, keep try it until I get it—I hope that I figure out it before the last day.

0.1 is just research programs: SQLite , Firefox, TCL, Etc.., and I find that the SQLite test suite in SQLite itself, based on TCL, has around 400files. I think convert TCL to JS is not difficult, but, I think it is not useful and meaningless. Also, Peter Weilbacher says “Why just use the test suite on the SQLite website”. In my opinion, using the already existed codes, based on TCL, is just testing SQLite itself. Thus, I decide to make a page that making a test plan and execute the SQLite test on Firefox by just clicking.

0.1 is a concept, and from 0.2 should be working default features (create, insert, select, delete,..), and, 0.3 may be performance testing.

I think it is not easy, but try it until I get it.

project site: http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Import_sqlite_test_suite

The red points are became Yellow points with “!” sings, hum I jumped one step:
../build/autoconf/make-makefile network

I just compiled my code, so the break points say the source codes are not match.

I update the thunderbird tree and re-build the code again, and then It is there, but Thunderbird skips my “Break Points”. So, I think, think, and think with pushing “CTRL+S” from habit. WOW, it calls my break points. OK, keep going.

Next, I just want to know the strings are correct. I type “@” only, and then I push “CTRL+S” again. But, this time it shows an error window this:
 
I need one more thing “XPCOM”, I need turn off it (http://developer.mozilla.org/en/XPCOM_DEBUG_BREAK)
Finally, I fix (?) the bug and post it here:

https://landfill.bugzilla.org/bugzilla-3.0-branch/show_bug.cgi?id=6025

My goal is import SQLite test suite into Firefox, therefore I have to do research a lot.
So far, I did theses:
-SQLite research from SQLite web site
-SQLite in Firefox
-SQLite test suite testing
-TCL research and testing

And today I find that I have to do a new research “XPCOM”
I can start my own program before finish this semester? OK digging.

I try to read all of them, but I cannot finish it. It is too much, and never ending story-it looks like chains that related others. At the time, I suddenly pop up one thing that I have 300emails, how about Shawn and Dave … ? The bug reports are spam?
They are working (?) too much… I think

I have no idea why it calls 15 times of “select” / 4 times of “update” in here init method…
It seems like my job.
