Skipping particular tests depending on platform is a very common practice, for better or worse.
- CaptainOfCoit 3y agoThat's not what's happening. Bun has tests that are supposed to work on the platform, but currently doesn't. Skipping tests from a Linux suite that doesn't make sense to run on Windows is very common. Skipping tests that should pass on a platform but doesn't just in order to cut a release isn't as common.
- basil-rash 3y agoEvery growing project has things thing the maintainers would like to work but that do not currently. The job of the maintainer is to balance the value of releasing a cut of the software as stands and learning about other unknown issues while continuing to work on the known, or to work on the known and ignore the unknown until finished with the known. Neither way is strictly good or bad.
