@rm-rf Still around?

Do you happen to know how the MUnit tests in workbench work?

I mean, I don't want to use them in workbench. I wanted to know how it is implemented. I thought there is some package in the Eclipse plugin directory, but all I can find is this:

pastebin.com/0ZWEPm5F

The question is, where is the function Test and the symbol TestID defined?

@rm-rf Never mind. It seems the problem is me.. found this thread on SO: stackoverflow.com/q/8684052/1078614

rm -rf

@halirutan Integrating it into the plugin?

halirutan

@rm-rf Trying to understand it in order to maybe, in some thousand years integrate it into the plugin, yes.

I really never used MUnit tests. Only JUnit, or the ones in C++..

No good starting point when you need experience to hack it down yourself.

@halirutan Hehe... I use it already with the plugin, but in a poor-man's style. I use only pycharm with the plugin, since it comes with a built-in terminal. I can easily start a kernel in there and run tests or quickly check how some piece of code runs. I almost don't need a front end

halirutan

@rm-rf I cannot find this stupid package...

I created and ran a test TestCase and it works in Eclipse.

rm -rf

@halirutan Are you still looking for it?

halirutan

@rm-rf Nope, seems I found it

rm -rf

@halirutan Ah, ok. I was going to mail it otherwise

I also got one of those Raspberry Pis with Mathematica. Not tried it out yet though

@rm-rf Thanks for editing the math question. I would have done it myself after leaving a comment. Btw, I upvoted this answer because it is correct and I don't see why a new user should be punished for not using Mathematica.

@halirutan Yeah, I'm not sure why it got a downvote... it was even flagged for deletion. The first version was pretty hard to read (especially since single line breaks are not respected in the SE editor), so it's not surprising.

btw @halirutan, your comment on math.se (after migration) could be removed... it looks like you're asking someone to "improve" a properly written answer :)

Just so you know, you can't make a style A inherit from B if B inherits from A. MMA will hang

in case you were wondering

halirutan

@rm-rf How do I find this question again? can I search for posts commented by myself?

rm -rf

@halirutan Oh, I deleted our copy... if you were looking for the math.se copy, it's here

@Rojo In other words, f[x_] := g[x]; g[x_] := f[x] is not OK? Who woulda thought! :D

Rojo

@rm-rf Right. As in @halirutan's starred comment, you can be your grandson's father, but not your own

unless you are God I suppose

A New Kind of Science

A New Kind of Science is a best-selling, controversial book by Stephen Wolfram, published in 2002. It contains an empirical and systematic study of computational systems such as cellular automata. Wolfram calls these systems simple programs and argues that the scientific philosophy and methods appropriate for the study of simple programs are relevant to other fields of science. Contents Computation and its implications The thesis of A New Kind of Science (NKS) is twofold: that the nature of computation must be explored experimentally, and that the results of these experiments have gre...

It's a running joke in here...

Oh, that. Didn't come to mind :p

Any suggestions for something mathematica-y to do with the Pi?

Another shameless plug: I built a spectrophotometer with Legos and a Raspberry Pi, and control it using Mathematica
