Raw Blame History

The checks nobody runs

Twice now a script in this repository has been quietly wrong for weeks. Both times it was found by accident rather than by anything failing. This is the inventory of everything in the tree that asserts something real and is not reached by dune test, what each of them says today, and what was done about the general problem.

The plan

  1. Sweep spike/, web/, tools/, emacs/ and test/ for anything that checks something and is not on a dune alias. Run every one of them; record pass or fail honestly rather than assuming.
  2. Give web/examples/check.sh and web/examples/quotes.sh an opt-in alias in the shape @x86 already established, with the same kind of comment saying why they are opt-in.
  3. Decide what would actually have caught the two known failures within a day, given that an opt-in alias is only marginally better than a script — both require somebody to type them.

Red on arrival

web/examples/quotes.sh fails, eleven checks of forty-odd. It is not re-recorded to make it green: every one of its failures is a real statement on web/index.html that has stopped being true, and three of them are the page claiming a language feature is unimplemented when it now works. That is a content decision for the author, written up below rather than papered over.
