Nagappan,

 

Thanks for the reply.  I am still curious about AT_BRIDGE_SHUTDOWN - do you remember why that line of code was there?

Don't remember why I wrote that :) It was way back.

 

How much work is being done in the LDTP?

The recording feature is now done using pyatspi. Current LDTP framework is being used by Ubuntu, VMware, Palm Source (Access Company), Novell Evolution.

Thanks
Nagappan

Hello Sam,

I wrote that code [1] almost 3 years back, they are not applicable now, atleast in LDTP point of view. The main accessibility work is being moved from C code base to Python (pyatspi [2]).

Thanks

Greetings,

I've seen some at-spi test cases and usages on the net, examples: http://foss.mnit.ac.in:8080/content/code/a/at-spi_1.7.11/S/181.html and http://forgecvs1.novell.com/viewcvs/ldtp/record/record.c?rev=1.1.  Each of these has a line like this near the end:

 

putenv ("AT_BRIDGE_SHUTDOWN=1");

 

What the heck does that line do?  I Googled for AT_BRIDGE_SHUTDOWN and found more instances where it is used, but no explanation.  How did the test authors know to put that line in their code?
