I'm confused by this comment. What would the tests test?
My thinking is that, if trusted to output a library that matches the API spec, there is no need to test that API. However, that does require that Alpaca is well-tested enough to be trusted - would you be happy with tests in Alpaca itself, or should it generate tests too?
- jxf 13y agoI guess it depends on whether you view Alpaca as (a) "it's a starting point for generating your API", or (b) "it's the authoritative source and the only way to generate your API". If you use it like (b) you don't need tests, but Alpaca does. If you use it like (a) Alpaca still needs tests, but the buck stops with you.
- Robin_Message 13y agoAh, using it as a starting point, that you then want to test. That makes sense, thanks :)
