There were a few corner cases in the handling of weblog entries which were not tested as properly as they should have been.

The two obvious bugs were:

• When adding a new entry the previous one didn't get its navigation update - so it didn't contain a link to the new "Next >>" entry.
• Weblog entry deletion failed. (Rather it worked, but gave an error instead of the "success page".)

These have now been fixed. Thanks to the Yawns::Weblog test case I can be sure these errors will not reappear.

(The test output may make interesting reading if you're interested in this level of detail of the sites code.)

When I fix things like this I'm pleased I started down the path of test-driven coding. It is just so much more satisfying to know that you've got things working, and provably so.

Incidently I learnt there is a simple command line program to run Perl test cases called "prove". Run it like this:

skx@itchy:~/debian-administration$ prove tests/
tests/add-no-follow.................ok                                       
tests/breakup-text..................ok                                       
tests/html-balance..................ok                                       
tests/html-filter...................ok                                       
tests/html-linkify..................
...
snip

You can also run it verbosely ("prove --verbose tests/") and cause it to randomize the order of the test cases execution ("prove --shuffle tests/"). See the manpage for more details.
