Are there any automatic unit test for ConTeXt distribution? I'm thinking that we might want to set up one on a server. We already have a server for tests:
Yes, but some metadata is missing and some architecture to actually run those tests (some tests only make sense in MKII and some only in MKIV etc.).
I would definitely prefer if some function "run_the_unit_tests" existed, but we probably need to write one first.
Just saying there is no need for yet another server (you cannot run tests server-side anyway).
Why? I was talking about fully automatic tests, not tests like "compile and open result in the viewer". I understand that there is not too much functionality that can be tested automatically (hence, server-side), but at least some basic things can be tested. Probably, more features can be tested server-side analyzing the result pdf file using some library (though I don't know the pdf-parsing libraries sufficiently good to implement it).
