Unit Test Notes

Here are some design notes for the unit test feature of tbwiki:

Desired Features [edit section]

  • process a set of unit tests automatically, and report any regressions
  • save an existing HTML for a wiki page as a "good" reference for the output for particular markup
  • have specific unit tests, with markup, and expected html
    • process those in a batch

  • have a collection of pages with HTML 'expected result' files
  • this feature overlaps with caching
    • generation of html file
    • checking status of html file

Design of regression test feature [edit section]

  • run engine from command line to convert a page into it's corresponding HTML
  • OR, run the regression test inside a Processor

  • forms needed:
    • show list of pages and their status:
      • green = tbwiki current engine is producing expected output
      • red = tbwiki current engine is not producing expected output
      • orange = there is not expected output file
    • allow saving a page's current output as the expected output
      • should convert to green
  • create a directory:
    • expected_html
  • need compare_with_expected_output function

Some other notes [edit section]

  • may need to run with some variables different
    • need to run with different user?, cookies?, theme?

to do [edit section]

  • ProcessorRegressionCheck.py
    • by default, show list of all pages, with status of each page
    • show a link for each page, to update the expected output
  • remove expected_output pages by hand
