Hi Marcel,


we already have #setPreference:toValue:during: on Preferences class. I also had to remember this proposal + discussion: The Inbox: System-ct.1119.mcz<http://forum.world.st/The-Inbox-System-ct-1119-mcz-td5106025.html> Your counter-proposal with the preferences sandbox also sounds interesting, we could do this as well.


(Just now, I am wondering whether preferences should be process-local ... But that's enough stuff for its own discussion. :-))


Best,

Christoph

Hi Nicolas.

Thanks. We might want to think about a more generic way to specify system-wide preferences for tests. Maybe a new feature in TestCase (or SUnit). While I would never want to change such preferences in a specific test, I also see that the setUp-way (with that extra "reset" instVar) is quite cumbersome.

Best,
Marcel
