Don't know how much time I'll have, but I'm game. Sent a project join request...

Hmm. I feel like I implemented it... it might be that if you declare it as an input, then it will behave as an input when you click it. That sounds like something I would do

It does not currently show any project join requests. :-/

Does this only work for C++?
It would be awesome if you'd provide Java/LabVIEW support.

I just sent my join request.

Project memberships accepted.

No Java/LabVIEW support. I think LabVIEW already supports some kind of test environment where you can test your code outside of the robot, though I've never used LabVIEW myself.

I suspect that doing this same kind of project for Java would be pretty easy if someone wanted to tackle it, but it won't be me since my Java skills are non-existent

Is there going to be an update to the test harness? I'm working with Python while some other team members are doing Java and I'd like to be able to test it on my PC. Your google code link appears to not work.

At some point, when it becomes useful to me again, I will update it. However, since the test harness is C++, and we're not using C++, I don't anticipate this happening in the near future. If I create a python test harness, then I anticipate it will be released as a separate project as a component of RobotPy.

It's at FIRST Forge now, I updated the link on my website: http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/project...b_test_harness

If you're using python, you might be interested in looking at our 2011 code to see how we did testing. Python makes it significantly easier to do testing. Also see this thread.
