Before I work on this I wanted to check if there are any open source calendar servers which have the interfaces exposed which I can use.
If you know of any such calendar server please let me know.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the response. I am not using Validator..but I will have to change the ActionError to ActionMessage though. I had another question on the controller interface. It currently has two methods "execute" and "perform", but the "perform" is deprecated. So if I am extending Controller class i need to implement both the methods...

Hi,
I have a software which can be installed on via command line and I have to automate the testing of this command line installation. When install script is executed on command line it prompts for lot of questions based on the user platform. So in my automation script i need to provide the anwsers ...is this possible with Python scripting language ... any reference to a good website.

Regards,
Satish

Could you tell us what kind of things should the installation script do?
If it's ok for the installation script test to actually alter the environment (by installing your software), it should be pretty easy to do assertions against the environment ("does that directory exist with these three files?", etc.)

When I run the install on the command line the script generates questions based on the software installed on the user paltform. My automated script should be able to provide answers to those questions and then verify if the installation is successfully. To verify if the installation is successfully I can just check for a process but what I need help is on how to provide the answers to the questions prompted by the install script?

What is the best programming/scripting language. Any reference to a website for more assistance would be good.

Hi,
We have a software which can be installed on command line. So when you run the install script, based on the user environment it will ask few questions and then install the software. I am trying to automate the testing of the install script. The software is primariy installed on UNIX platforms. so what is the best way to automate this. Also if you know of any reference url please let me know

Ignore and continue anyway(not recommended)?"

Why am I getting this error.

Thanks in advance
