Running and listing tests from autopilot source code

 

Hello all,

My name is John, and I'm just about to get started with autopilot. After spending several days learning Python, I think I'm ready to get to work.

I would like to start contributing to autopilot development by doing this task [1]. This report resulted from an error that occurred from running a music_app testcase recently. I just bzr-ed the source, and autopilot currently sits at my home directory.

Now after reading through the question "How do I list the tests for the autopilot source code?" from autopilot FAQ [2], it says running autopilot from the source directory is suffice.

*Then, which of the following would actually run autopilot from this bzr-ed source, NOT the one already installed in my system? * There are two autopilot directories: parent and child.

 * Parent) john@kotux:~/autopilot$ autopilot list autopilot.tests
 * Child) john@kotux:~/autopilot/autopilot$ autopilot list autopilot.tests
 * neither...
     o If so, what other method would work?

I haven't tried them out.
By the way, I think that question and the one below should s/for/from

Thanks for the help.
