#268 Investigate generic runner for tasks
Closed: Fixed None Opened 8 years ago by tflink.

As we get closer to having non-taskotron-devs write tasks for Taskotron, a common use case is going to be "run through these checks, report all the results back to me". While we do have that somewhat in our formulas, it's not trivial to run a bunch of shorter checks outside of calling an external python file and I'd prefer to steer folks in one direction so we can hope for a somewhat lesser support burden going forward.

In the interest of decreasing that support burden, I'd like to see us provide an easy way for smaller checks. The easiest way I can think of to do that is to look into using something like UnitTest or PyTest which already have most of what we'd need built in.

Investigate a generic runner for Taskotron and propose a solution.
