Cross-platform tests?
Joeboy opened this issue · comments
Hi
Hopefully I'm not being too tribal here, but it seems to me that Objective C is not the ideal language for a "reference" implementation in 2023. I would guess not many developers are able or motivated to get Objective C code working. I admittedly haven't really tried, but it looks like in particular XCode is a bit painful on Linux. It seems like various people (including me) are implementing fountain parsers in other languages.
It would be great if there was a set of tests we could easily run to assess the conformance of other implementations, written in something with wider support and adoption (maybe Python?). It doesn't seem like this repo is being very actively maintained at the moment, but I just leave this here in case anybody takes an interest. Maybe what I'm looking for even exists somewhere already?
I found https://github.com/vilcans/screenplain/tree/master/tests which looks promising, so I'm going to close this. Was probably a bit of a dumb ticket anyway.
