bro-pkg 1.0 is now out and supports \* package unit testing [1] \* package dependencies [2] I have no remaining major features planned, hence the 1.0. Hope it works well for everyone. - Jon [1] [http://bro-package-manager.readthedocs.io/en/stable/package.html#test-command](http://bro-package-manager.readthedocs.io/en/stable/package.html#test-command) [2] [http://bro-package-manager.readthedocs.io/en/stable/package.html#depends](http://bro-package-manager.readthedocs.io/en/stable/package.html#depends) ---

Great job, Jon! One of the next steps now is moving our bro-plugins into packages, I'll talk to the maintainers to get that started. Robin ---

Hi Jon, > bro-pkg 1.0 is now out and supports > > \* package unit testing [1] thanks for this. Are there any extra steps that one has to do for this to work? I tried to activate it for my repository at [GitHub - 0xxon/zeek-sumstats-counttable: COUNTTABLE type for Zeek (Bro) sumstats that sums independently for string buckets](https://github.com/0xxon/bro-sumstats-counttable), where the bro-pkg.meta specifies test\_command = cd testing && btest -d However, bro-pkg (version 1.0) seems to just ignore this: $ bro-pkg install bro-sumstats-counttable The following packages will be INSTALLED:   bro/0xxon/bro-sumstats-counttable (0.0.2)   Proceed? [Y/n] y   Running unit tests for "bro/0xxon/bro-sumstats-counttable"   error: failed to run tests for bro/0xxon/bro-sumstats-counttable:   Package does not specify a test\_command   Proceed to install anyway? [Y/n] n Am I doing something wrong here? Or is there a problem with the way that I specify test\_command? (The error message seems to indicate that it is just not being identified though).

Ah, and if you remember to specify --version master, things suddenly look much better - ignore this 🙂 Johanna ---

And - second followup - this time I think I am doing things right this time. On os-x, when trying to install using bro-pkg, I get the following output: $ bro-pkg install bro-sumstats-counttable --version master The following packages will be INSTALLED:   bro/0xxon/bro-sumstats-counttable (master) Proceed? [Y/n] y Running unit tests for "bro/0xxon/bro-sumstats-counttable" Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/Users/johanna/venv/bin/bro-pkg", line 1635, in \     main()   File "/Users/johanna/venv/bin/bro-pkg", line 1631, in main     args.run\_cmd(manager, args, config)   File "/Users/johanna/venv/bin/bro-pkg", line 314, in cmd\_install     error, passed, test\_dir = manager.test(name, version)   File "/Users/johanna/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bropkg/manager.py", line 1622, in test     bropath = os.path.dirname(stage\_script\_dir) + ':' + bropath TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found The same happens with your bro-test-package. Is there anything obvious that I am doing wrong? Johanna ---

And as a followup - this happens because Bro was not in the path. This really should give a nicer error message though (or abort before even trying to install). Johanna ---

And another small thing: As build\_command and test\_command may contain anything, another warning would be good in case the package metadata specifies a command. Jan ---
