This program makes it easier for developers to spawn the PHP server since it fetches automatically what it needs from the configuration file, rather than having the user explicitly pass arguments to the php executable.
When the setup gets more complicated as we introduce Python, aurweb.spawn will keep providing the same interface, while under the hood it is planned to support running multiple sub-processes.
Its Python interface provides an way for the test suite to spawn the test server when it needs to perform HTTP requests to the test server.
The current implementation is somewhat weak as it doesn\u2019t detect when a child process dies, but this is not supposed to happen often, and it is only meant for aurweb developers.
In the long term, aurweb.spawn will eventually become obsolete, and replaced by Docker or Flask\u2019s tools. --- TESTING | 7 +-- aurweb/spawn.py | 107 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ conf/config.defaults | 3 ++ 3 files changed, 114 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 aurweb/spawn.py
Merged into pu, thanks!
