<emys>Hey, I submitted a bug report against Ubuntu 18.04 for their guile 3 build. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/guile-3.0/+bug/1900708
<emys>seems like its not a bug in the upstream codebase but their build process, just thought you might be interested
<roptat>I'm trying to make some changes to a guile module (in guile's git checkout), what would be the best way to test it?
<leoprikler>I'm not sure if it's the "best" way, but you can actually run the guile you've built.
<leoprikler>there's also "check-guile" in the top directory assuming your functionality has a test case
<terpri>"Every test suite failure should be a complete, mysterious surprise, never a possibility you were prepared for. Any other attitude indicates that you're using the test suite as a crutch, which you need only because your understanding is weak." -- test-suite/README
<terpri>jim (blandy?) isn't/wasn't a TDD fan, apparently
<leoprikler>Well, I can see where they're coming from.
<leoprikler>If you do repeatedly break your own tests, chances are that the code is really brittle.
