Task #831

Updated by Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza almost 11 years ago

* enables the automated tests to be run on vegbiendev 
 * allows adding a new datasource directly on vegbiendev, without a dependency on a separate testing machine 
 ** this makes it much easier for a documentation tester or other BIEN members to add datasources, since they do not need to set up their own VegBIEN install 
 * makes it possible to upload a new datasource from a web interface (which can just use vegbiendev) 
 * avoids needing to maintain two copies of VegBIEN and keep them both in sync (which requires running every command twice) 
 ** however, we shouldn't necessarily get rid of the 2nd copy, because although it is can be useful to have a separate copy for testing (so that buggy commands don't break the live DB) testing, it would be nice if this were not _essential_
