The Mana World Forums

In TMW we had an auto-test-server-updater. This helped with reviewing and getting people's work into development and then onto live.

We used flags, marking a PR/MR 'Test' on github to decide what went onto the test server. Then bounced the map server. This Script then pulled the most recent master and merged all the PRs marked test into client/server datas and made updates.

If anyone has knowledge of python and can make a gitlab & herc/evol equivalent dev would go much faster vs. having to wait for someone to pull/merge on test.

Does this mean we would essentially not need a local test server for simple tests?

Basically yes. It would make it far easier to test without a local test-server and have other people test. As it removes the need for someone to be around to make a merge.
