zsh-syntax-highlighting / tests
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Utility scripts for testing zsh-syntax-highlighting highlighters.
|
|
|
|
The tests harness expects the highlighter directory to contain a `test-data`
|
|
directory with test data files.
|
|
See the [main highlighter](../highlighters/main/test-data) for examples.
|
|
|
|
Tests should set the following variables:
|
|
|
|
1.
|
|
Each test should define the string `$BUFFER` that is to be highlighted and the
|
|
array parameter `$expected_region_highlight`.
|
|
The value of that parameter is a list of strings of the form `"$i $j $style"`.
|
|
or `"$i $j $style $todo"`.
|
|
Each string specifies the highlighting that `$BUFFER[$i,$j]` should have;
|
|
that is, `$i` and `$j` specify a range, 1-indexed, inclusive of both endpoints.
|
|
`$style` is a key of `$ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES`.
|
|
If `$todo` exists, the test point is marked as TODO (the failure of that test
|
|
point will not fail the test), and `$todo` is used as the explanation.
|
|
|
|
2.
|
|
If a test sets `$skip_test` to a non-empty string, the test will be skipped
|
|
with the provided string as the reason.
|
|
|
|
3.
|
|
If a test sets `$fail_test` to a non-empty string, the test will be skipped
|
|
with the provided string as the reason.
|
|
|
|
4.
|
|
If a test sets `unsorted=1` the order of highlights in `$expected_region_highlight`
|
|
need not match the order in `$region_highlight`.
|
|
|
|
5.
|
|
Normally, tests fail if `$expected_region_highlight` and `$region_highlight`
|
|
have different numbers of elements. To mark this check as expected to fail,
|
|
tests may set `$expected_mismatch` to an explanation string (like `$todo`);
|
|
this is useful when the only difference between actual and expected is that actual
|
|
has some additional, superfluous elements. This check is skipped if the
|
|
`$todo` component is present in any regular test point.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: `$region_highlight` uses the same `"$i $j $style"` syntax but
|
|
interprets the indexes differently.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Tests are run with `setopt NOUNSET WARN_CREATE_GLOBAL`, so any
|
|
variables the test creates must be declared local.
|
|
|
|
**Isolation**: Each test is run in a separate subshell, so any variables,
|
|
aliases, functions, etc., it defines will be visible to the tested code (that
|
|
computes `$region_highlight`), but will not affect subsequent tests. The
|
|
current working directory of tests is set to a newly-created empty directory,
|
|
which is automatically cleaned up after the test exits. For example:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
setopt PATH_DIRS
|
|
mkdir -p foo/bar
|
|
touch foo/bar/testing-issue-228
|
|
chmod +x foo/bar/testing-issue-228
|
|
path+=( "$PWD"/foo )
|
|
|
|
BUFFER='bar/testing-issue-228'
|
|
|
|
expected_region_highlight=(
|
|
"1 21 command" # bar/testing-issue-228
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing new tests
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
An experimental tool is available to generate test files:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
zsh -f tests/generate.zsh 'ls -x' acme newfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This generates a `highlighters/acme/test-data/newfile.zsh` test file based on
|
|
the current highlighting of the given `$BUFFER` (in this case, `ls -x`).
|
|
|
|
_This tool is experimental._ Its interface may change. In particular it may
|
|
grow ways to set `$PREBUFFER` to inject free-form code into the generated file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Highlighting test
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
[`test-highlighting.zsh`](tests/test-highlighting.zsh) tests the correctness of
|
|
the highlighting. Usage:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
zsh test-highlighting.zsh <HIGHLIGHTER NAME>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All tests may be run with
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
make test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
which will run all highlighting tests and report results in [TAP format][TAP].
|
|
By default, the results of all tests will be printed; to show only "interesting"
|
|
results (tests that failed but were expected to succeed, or vice-versa), run
|
|
`make quiet-test` (or `make test QUIET=y`).
|
|
|

|
Performance test
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
[`test-perfs.zsh`](tests/test-perfs.zsh) measures the time spent doing the
|
|
highlighting. Usage:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
zsh test-perfs.zsh <HIGHLIGHTER NAME>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All tests may be run with
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
make perf
|
|
```
