[Scilab-Dev] test_run: <-- REOPENED --> status, vs <-- NOT FIXED -->

[Clément David]

Hello Samuel,

After a deep dive into Scilab source code, it seems that this REOPENED tag has been introduced (or re-introduced) in 91c98ab05 [1]. It seems used to tag a nonreg test as not fixed when the bug reappears. As none of the tests is using it, this might be removed.

Subject: [Scilab-Dev] test_run: <-- REOPENED --> status, vs <-- NOT FIXED -->

Hello,

In the code of test_run(), we can observe that the detection of a tag
"<-- REOPENED -->" is implemented.
Yet, such a tag is not documented. In addition, no such tag can be found in all existing Scilab tests.

I am documenting the versioning of the "<-- NOT FIXED -->" tag. And i am wondering about this "REOPENED" tag whether it must be documented as well or not.
Is it an old tag undocumented after deprecation but not removed from test_run for compatibility reason?
Or is it a dark feature that deserves being actually documented?
Or is it a dark feature that was just a trial and that should be removed from the code?

Any hint would be helpful about the status of this tag, and its role wrt other ones, noticeably wrt the "NOT FIXED" tag.

Thanks
Samuel
