[ZODB-Dev] Running the test suite

To be clear, this is what "trunk checkout" means to me:

$ svn info
Path: .
URL: svn+ssh://svnzope/repos/main/ZODB/trunk
Repository UUID: 62d5b8a3-27da-0310-9561-8e5933582275
Revision: 29880
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal

Note that the trunk is for ZODB 3.5 development.  Is that what you want?  If
you're writing code for ZODB 3.4, use ZODB/branches/3.4 instead.

That looks reasonable given that you did "build".  Here's what it does for
me:

$ \python23\python test.py -vv test_transaction.py

"setup.py build" copies that into the build/ tree.

> As it is I do a setup.py build every time before I run the tests

That's easiest to do by passing "-b" to test.py too, like

     python test.py -vvb test_transaction.py
                       ^

"-b" causes test.py to run "setup.py build" before it searches for tests.

> but I'd like to do everything in place.

Then do an in-place build instead, "setup.py build_ext -i".  That probably
won't work if you're using a checkout in the ZODB 3.2 line, but should work
in the ZODB 3.3, 3.4, and trunk lines.  Passing "-B" to test.py causes
test.py to run "setup.py build_ext -i" first.
