Explain why the export tests are enabled for formats that are not
expected to work well with certain document classes, modules, or
packages. The reason is that if a .lyx file goes from compiling
successfully for one format (even if that format is not officially
supported for the combination of features used), if that document
suddenly fails to compile, there is a significant chance that a bug
was introduced in LyX. In other words, there is a high signal/noise
ratio. If it is determined that a test is failing because an
expected incompatibility is exposed, then the test can be inverted.
People working on the documentation do probably want to switch this on. It
gives easy access to LyX and LaTeX logos (bug 9626), and the info and menu
separator insets.
Cmake versions prior to 2.8.11 don't know this command, but
our minimal requirenment is 2.6.4
Thank to Vincent, it is replaced by using 'if(file1 IS_NEWER_THAN file2)' comparision.
Sometimes when compilation fails a PDF file is created but is empty
and the viewer gives an error when trying to view it. One such
example is compiling the current lib/examples/PDF-comment.lyx file
with TeX fonts and the following version of LuaTeX:
beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238)
The export tests, check_load tests, and URL tests are now documented
in the Development.lyx file. The export tests are described in
detail, such as how to run them and how to interpret the results.
The wordSpacing property of a QFont object applies only once when there are multiple spaces between words. Therefore Row::Element::countSeparators shall not count spaces, but groups of spaces.
Fixes bug #9808.
This is a tiny simplification that makes understanding the code more easy and
will help in fixing the remaining regressions. The logic remains the same, no
export test result is changed.
These icons are for lfuns that are not very interesting for users, but quite
often used when working on the LyX documentation. Now we can create a special
LyX documentation toolbar.
These exports correctly fail now that we've switched to polyglossia.
Although they compiled without error with babel, the resulting PDFs
had gibberish.
I believe these tests were fixed by TeX Live updates.
Comparing the log files for a system where the tests fail with a
system where the tests pass, below are some of the differences
between the "good" and "bad" logs:
bad:
LaTeX2e <2015/01/01>
Babel <3.9l>
Package: fontspec 2015/03/14 v2.4c
Package: expl3 2015/03/01 v5547 L3 programming layer
good:
LaTeX2e <2015/01/01> patch level 2
Babel <3.9m>
Package: fontspec 2015/07/22 v2.4d
Package: expl3 2015/07/30 v5724 L3 programming layer
Many of our documents have babel-specific preamble code. By putting
this code in a \@ifpackageloaded{babel}{}{} conditional, XeTeX and
LuaTeX compilation with polyglossia now works. This fixes some
LuaTeX tests that were broken by edd37de8 and also allows us to
uninvert some XeTeX tests.
Note that in some of the files although the preambles were fixed to
allow for polyglossia, they still do not compile without errors:
es/Math.lyx
es/Customization.lyx
de/Customization.lyx
Similar fixes might be desired in other manuals but these at least
fix regressions in the tests.
