Since the project is new, it is normal to have something to fix. The problem is that my testing would just be not sufficient, so your help will really be appreciated. Thanks!

First of all I renamed the project on Sourceforge. Now it is more sensible NHibernate Workbench.

In the SVN repository there is now a tag to the version 1.0.0.11, and the trunk claim to be the version 1.0.0.2.00.

Now I’m planning to allow to use NH Workbench attached to a running application: this should help us to play with application compiled without mappings ( ie ConfOrm and Fluent NH ). Then I would like to improve the “Probe” class letting it be more versatile and modifiable by the user, probably using some sort of script engine: I’m thinking to use IronPython, but any suggestion are welcome. Just to clarify: the probe class serves to insolate NHWorkbench from the NH version used by the project under test. We basically runs the test in a separate app domain, but we need the “probe” type to be unbounded to any NH specific version. This is done by using reflection, but it would be easier to be done in a script. The same engine will be useful to write some NHibernate testing: instead of use just HQL, we will be able to submit some portion of code on the fly and see what happen. The other step is to allow the user writing a mapping on the fly and imemdiately see what happen ( by using hbm2net behind the scenes ). Ok, it’s a lot of work, I’ve no idea the order this will be done, let me know if you have any idea and preference.

As you probably guess, the Fatica.Labs.HqlEditor evolved as a component used by NH Workbench, that is basically a tool ispired by the old and wise NHQA by Ayende. There is, in comparison, some new ideas and some missing required functions. Anyway I decided to publish a first drop because it already help me on my day job.
