Hello João,

I tried to run the slime test suite this morning to see what results it produced. I'm uncertain what the proper procedure is for running the test suite, but this is what I did. I made the test suite available by including "slime-tests" in my ".emacs" file in the (slime-setup '( < other contribs > slime-tests)), which seemed to work.

The way to run the tests *in the current emacs session* is by adding slime-tests.el's dir to the load path (which is now by default) and using.

(require 'slime-tests)

So you got lucky cause slime-setup does this, tho doing that doesn't really make sense, since they're not a contrib.

Anyway, I prefer to run the tests non-interactively from the command line, and then debug individual tests inside an interactive session.

To do so, go into your slime dir and type

$ make clean check

This will clean any garbage, recompile the emacs lisp files and check just slime "core" (i.e no contribs). "make check-fancy" will check just the slime-fancy meta-contrib (i.e. it's sub-contribs), and "make check-foo" will check the "foo" contrib when it is run standalone.

"slime-batch-test-results.txt" which contains the contents of the

I'll have a look, Luis is probably right that most of the failures are autodoc failures in the latests slime. The autodoc tests are somewhat brittle.
