The keytests were previously enabled by default if the necessary dependencies were found. They require a GUI and mouse so can sometimes be annoying. Further, they are not currently reliable. They are thus now disabled by default.

This manual documents some aspects of \SpecialChar LyX

It is currently rather incomplete, but will hopefully be extended in the

future.

If you just want to use \SpecialChar LyX

However, if you want to learn more about how \SpecialChar LyX

is developed, or even want

\SpecialChar LyX
|
||
uses several custom file formats for configuration files and documents.
|
||
This chapter contains some background concerning these file formats.
|
||
Several file formats are also described in detail in the regular user documenta
|

When is an update of the .lyx file format number needed?

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
When you are working on a new feature you may ask yourself whether it needs
|
||
an update of the .lyx file format number.
|
||
Whether an update is needed or not is not always obvious.
|
||
Rule of thumb:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Quote
|
||
Whenever there is the danger that a previous version of LyX cannot open
|
||
a file using the new feature, a file format update is needed.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The file format change allows lyx2lyx rules to implement backwards compatibility.
|
||
Below you can find a list of reasons for file format updates with explanations:

command with the same name as a command that triggers an automatic load

||
Add a conversion routine if needed (e.
|
||
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
g., a new header setting always needs a conversion that adds the new setting,
|
||
but a new document language does not need one).
|
||
Add a reversion routine if needed.
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Newline newline
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
While the conversion routine is required to produce a document that is equivalen
|
||
t to the old version, the requirements of the reversion are not that strict.
|
||
If possible, try to produce a proper reversion, using ERT if needed, but
|
||
for some features this might be too complicated.
|
||
In this case, the minimum requirement of the reversion routine is that
|
||
it produces a valid document which can be read by an older \SpecialChar LyX
|
||
.
|
||
If absolutely needed, even data loss is allowed for the reversion.
|
||
(In that case, you might want to add a LyX comment that indicates what
|
||
you have had to do, so the user is at least warned).
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
Since tex2lyx has several implicit file format dependencies caused by sharing
|
||
code with \SpecialChar LyX
|
||
, updating the file format of .lyx files produced by tex2lyx at
|
||
the same time as updating the main .lyx file format is strongly recommended.
|
||
Therefore, a compiler warning will be issued if the \SpecialChar LyX
|
||
and tex2lyx .lyx file
|
||
format numbers differ.
|
||
In many cases the tex2lyx update requires only the first and last item
|
||
of the list below:

.
|

\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
If the lyx2lyx conversion from the old to the new format is empty, or if
|
||
tex2lyx does not yet output the changed feature, you do not need any further
|
||
tex2lyx changes.
|
||
Otherwise, search for the changed feature in tex2lyx, and adjust the output
|
||
according to the lyx2lyx changes.

describing the missing bits.
|
||
Note that it is perfectly fine if you do not add full tex2lyx support for
|
||
a new feature: The updating recommendation above is only issued for the
|
||
syntax of the produced .lyx file.
|
||
It is no problem if some features supported by \SpecialChar LyX
|
||
are still output as ERT
|
||
by tex2lyx.
|
||
The problems in the past that resulted in the update recommendation were
|
||
related to mixed version syntax, not ERT.
|
||
\end_layout

|

\begin_layout Enumerate
|

It would be nice if you could create a .lyx test file which contains instances
|
||
of all changed or added features.
|
||
This could then be used to test lyx2lyx and tex2lyx.
|
||
Unfortunately, it has not yet been decided how to collect such examples,

so please ask on the development list if you want to create one.

Update LyX's .lyx documentation files to the new format.

The developer who makes the change knows best what changes to expect when

inspecting the resulting diff.
|

Because of this, you might be able to catch a bug in the lyx2lyx code that
|

updates the format just by taking a quick scan through the large diff that

is the result.

To do this, first make sure that there are no changes to the git repository
|

that you will not want to commit (this is needed because it will be convenient
|

to commit with the command

|
||
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
||
git commit -a
|

).
|
||
Then run the following command in the root folder of the source:

||
\begin_inset Flex Code

|
||
|

\begin_layout Plain Layout

python development/tools/updatedocs.py

|

Look at the resulting changes using the command

\begin_inset Flex Code

files shipped with \SpecialChar LyX

because users would then not be able to export to older

|
||
For example, if a 2.2.0 user exported a template to 2.1.x format and tried
|
||
to open the file in \SpecialChar LyX
|
||
2.1.x, there would be an error because the file would
|
||
contain a local layout whose format is too new.
|
||
The root reason for this is that we do not support converting layouts to
|
||
older layout formats, as we do for the

\begin_layout Standard
|

Starting with the stable \SpecialChar LyX
|
||
2.1 branch, there is a mechanism in place to backport
|
||
new styles to the stable version without the need to update the file format.
|
||
The basic idea is that the new style definition is automatically copied
|
||
to the document preamble so that it can even be used by older minor versions
|
||
that did not yet include the style.
|
||
To backport a new style to the stable version, the following steps are
|
||
needed:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
Add the line

\begin_inset Flex Code

\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
||
ForceLocal -1
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
to the style definition in the development version.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
Copy the style definition to the stable version, but use
|
||
\begin_inset Flex Code
|
||

|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
||
ForceLocal 1
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
instead.
|
||
If needed adjust the format to the one used by the stable version (see
|
||
the customization manual for details of the layout file format).
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|

For each update of the style in a later stable version, increase the argument

|

support is needed for backported styles: Since the style of the development

version has an infinite version number, it will always be used.
|

Furthermore, since its version number is less than one, the style will
|
||
not be written anymore to the document header for files saved by the new

version.

You should therefore think carefully about whether you really want to do

this and discuss it on lyx-devel, since you will need to be prepared to

update and fix the layout if necessary.

If the layout is experimental or for a rarely used document class, then

it may be better to add it to the relevant portion of the \SpecialChar LyX

contribution.

If that is not done, then we have a fallback implemented so that such documents

Adding a new module is very similar to adding a new layout.

Therefore, the previous section applies to new modules as well, with two

exceptions:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|

\begin_layout Enumerate

You only need to add an entry to

Uwe has suggested we implement automatic detection of changes in class files.
|
||
This could be done by running a script every month that checks if a document
|
||
class was changed at CTAN and at the homepages of the scientific journals.
|
||
If it reports a change, we can check if our template and layout file are
|
||
still usable with the changed document class.
|
||
(This is different from the autotests insofar, as this would also catch
|
||
changes that do not result in compilation errors.)

file, removed \SpecialChar LaTeX

|
||
How should this best be handled in \SpecialChar LyX
|
||
?
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The idea is to support the new version with a new \SpecialChar LyX
|
||
layout so that:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
Existing documents can still be opened in \SpecialChar LyX
|
||
and will continue to work on
|
||
systems where the old version is still installed.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|

\begin_layout Itemize

||
|
||
files, \SpecialChar LyX
|
||
can check for the availability of the particular version and reflect
|
||
this in the GUI.
|
||
Different document class versions with the same file name are currently
|
||
(2.2.x) not detected by the configuration script.
|
||
This is planned for 2.3.

|

However, what we really need is version detection for the configuration,
|
||
so that the user can be warned if the required class file has the wrong
|
||
version.
|
||
(If the class file keeps the name over the version change, only one of
|
||
the two layout files generates compilable documents.)

The new layout can be added both to the master and the stable branches,

No lyx2lyx conversion is then required when a new major version is released.
|

\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The user can move an existing document to the new version simply by selecting
|
||
a new document class.
|
||
This step is well supported by \SpecialChar LyX
|
||
, with established methods for handling
|
||
unsupported styles and other changes.
|
||
This way, no lyx2lyx code is required.
|

\end_layout

The steps to support a new version of an existing document class are thus:

\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
|

Create a new layout file including the upstream version in the name (avoid

Some projects like gcc even require each bug fix to be accompanied by a

Because the export tests are integration tests and take a long time to run,

LyX developers are rarely expected to run all of the tests.
|
||
Here are some good practices to follow by developers:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
When making a non-trivial change to a .layout file, run the export and layout
|
||
tests corresponding with that .layout file.

\begin_layout Plain Layout
|

There is an objection from the documentation maintainer that working on
|
||
the documentation must not be complicated by having to consider non-standard
|
||
exports.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|

\begin_layout Itemize
|

successful compiling/testing an edited documentation file with pdflatex

suffices to ensure it can be commited, not tests with other exports are
|
||
required.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
||
If sudden failures with other exports due to “half-tested” documentation
|
||
updates are a problem for the test maintainer, the test suite should use
|
||
copies that are
|
||
\end_layout
|

copied to a cache dir (autotests/samples/doc/, say) but not changed,

the originals in lib/doc/

\begin_layout Itemize
|

“interesting failures” (like the nested-language+polyglossia problem in

A good question is why do we enable the tests for non-default formats? The
|
||
answer is that if a non-default route is broken it is often because a bug
|
||
was introduced in LyX and not because a document-specific change was made
|
||
that is not supported by the route.
|
||
In other words, there is a high signal/noise ratio in the export tests
|
||
for some non-default formats.

check_load tests

\end_layout
|

|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
These tests check whether a .lyx file loads without any terminal messages.
|
||
They correspond to the manual operations of simply opening a .lyx file on
|
||
the terminal, exiting LyX once the file is loaded, and then checking whether
|
||
there is any output from the terminal.
|
||
These tests are useful for catching malformed .lyx files and parsing bugs.
|
||
They can also be used to find a .lyx file in which an instance of something
|
||
happens.
|
||
To do this, compile LyX with a local patch that outputs something to the
|
||
terminal when an instance is found, and then run the check_load tests to
|
||
see if any fail, which would mean that the situation occurs in the LyX
|
||
documentation files corresponding to the failed tests.
|
||
These tests are expectedly fragile: any LyX diagnostic message, which is
|
||
not necessarily an error, would cause the tests to fail.
|
||
Similarly, any message output by a library (e.g.
|
||
Qt) would also cause failure.
|
||
There are some messages that the check_load tests are instructed to ignore,
|
||
which are stored in the file

it is up to you to decide that.
