A small update on midgard-portable

The midgard-portable repository on Github is now a little over a month old, and has been growing quite rapidly. Much of the added code consists of unit tests, but of course, the API emulation also added quite a few lines. The good part is that we are quickly reaching a point where all Midgard functionality used in openpsa is more or less covered. The test suite does not yet pass completely, but the number of failures is already quite minimal (8 out of 658).

This means midgard-portable is reaching the state where it can run actual application instances, and here's the screenshot to prove it:

As you might notice, this page not only says „midgard-portable DEV“ in the version field, it is also served by Apache on localhost using Mac OS X 10.8, which is most probably a first in the newer history of Midgard as well.

 

The whole experience is not yet completely bug-free, of course, but the vast majority of handlers functions as expected already, and Asgard is completely usable:

There are still a number of unit tests to write, and corner cases to consider, but overall, the adapter is progressing quite well, so a first alpha release can likely be tagged pretty soon. Of course, you don't have to wait for it, you can get the code from the repo directly and test it in your setup.

 

Enjoy!
