what about this default method (or something similar) for test-op?
(defmethod perform ((o test-op) (s system)) (loop :with name = (coerce-name s) :for suffix :in '("" "/test" "-test") :for test-system-name = (strcat name suffix) :for test-system = (find-system test-system-name nil) :when test-system :do (load-system test-system) ;; Would be string-upcase, if not to accommodate for "modern" syntax. ;; UIOP probably needs to offer a standard way to abstract over ;; the string-upcase vs string-downcase vs neither default. (flet ((symbol-namify (x) (string (safe-read-from-string x)))) (if-let (test-suite (find-symbol* '#:test-suite (symbol-namify test-system-name) nil)) (return (funcall test-suite)))) :finally (error "No tests found for system ~A" name)))
The plan for such a default method isn't fully baked enough, but I added these two functions to uiop/utility that I believe are useful to have in the above case and other similar cases (I'm can think of places where I've used STRING-UPCASE when scripting in CL, where I could use them instead):
(defun standard-case-symbol-name (name-designator) "Given a NAME-DESIGNATOR for a symbol, convert it to a string, using STRING-UPCASE on an ANSI CL platform, or STRING on a so-called "modern" platform such as Allegro with modern syntax." (cond ;; Should we be doing something on CLISP? #+allegro ((eq excl:*current-case-mode* :case-sensitive-lower) (string name-designator)) (t (string-upcase name-designator))))
(defun find-standard-case-symbol (name-designator package-designator &optional (error t)) "Find a symbol in a package the name of which is designated by NAME-DESIGNATOR; NAME-DESIGNATOR and PACKAGE-DESIGNATOR will be converted to a string using STRING-DESIGNATOR on an ANSI CL platform, or STRING on a so-called "modern" platform such as Allegro with modern syntax. If optional ERROR argument is NIL, return NIL instead of an error when the symbol is not found." (find-symbol* (standard-case-symbol-name name-designator) (etypecase package-designator ((or package null) package-designator) ((or string symbol))) error))
It's still time to change and/or rename these functions before next release.
