Hi - Our team has been working on a unit testing framework for Powerbuilder. We originally looked at PBUnit but found it to be clunky and hadn't been updated in years - so we decided to build our own. Before working on perhaps getting it generalized (removing specifics to our environment) open sourcing it and on code xchange, we are just looking to see if there is any interest in a PB Unit Testing Framework by other PB folks in our community - we aren't trying to sell anything etc, just want to help us all out :-)

Hello!
I know I'm a bit late but I found this post just now.
I also made a rough PbTest tool which is available on GitHub: https://github.com/pbfriend/pbtest
I built it with PB2017, it should run well also with PB2019.
Cheers,
Luca

Hi! I was wondering if there is any progress or the project was abandoned.

I would definitely have a look at your testing framework.
Working polyglot in PowerBuilder, C#, TypeScript, JavaScript, several SQL variants, and less often other languages I prefer having comparable toolsets so I can work in a consistent rhythm across languages - and for unit testing with PowerBuilder we as community lack up-to-date options.
Looking forward :-) /Michael

Very nice of you to contribute to the PB community! Certainly there is at least some interest. Once you post it on GitHub with an open-source license and at least some basic documentation how to use, you can reach out to our marketing dept. (marketing@appeon.com) so they can consider somehow giving it some visibility.

However, you are not allowed to reply to this question.
Andreas.
But I saw mention about another project from Luca Arena I will look at that for now. I was using PB 10 years ago and now I have to use it again. I'm returning from C# world and have to say that Unit testing is one of things I really miss in PB world, logging (serilog in C#) too. I hope that in few years I will manage move back to C# world with our applications, but until then I have to try to make PB work as enjoyable as I can :-)
