Excellent stuff - good to know.

I've spent the last hour or two trying to get the membrane test suite to 
run, and can't.  This is likely my own lack of understanding - could 
someone give me some pointers?

At the moment I have a Plone 2.5.5 site (Zope 2.9.7).  If I run:

andy@coriander:test_membrane$ ./bin/zopectl test -m Products.membrane

It bails out on me with "TypeError: Must provide IPossibleSite" while 
running SiteLayer.setUp() (where SiteLayer is 
PloneTestCase.layer.PloneSite).

Any tests that don't rely on 
Products.membrane.tests.base.MembraneProfilesLayer run OK, any that do 
rely on it bail out in the same way.

I've tried every version of Plone from 2.5.2 to 2.5.5, and every version 
of PloneTestCase from 0.9.2 to 0.9.4 just in case, but to no avail.

I am stumped.  I'm assuming that I'm simply invoking the tests 
incorrectly, but I'm darned if I know how I should be doing it, and I 
can't find any guidance.

I don't, no.  I would gladly get involved if I could get the tests up 
and running.

Cheers
