Automated tests based on the "MonKey Testing" keytest program. ====================================================================== WARNING!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Running the tests in this folder may cause abrupt kill of existing LyX instances on your system. In order to avoid any possible data loss, quit any running instance of LyX in which you're carrying out real work. Also, although precautions have been taken in order to not allow the key presses to reach non-LyX windows, this may sometimes happen anyway. Please, close any running application that is not strictly needed. DEPENDENCIES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The following programs are needed by the testing framework: - xvkbd: a modified copy of xvkbd is included in this folder, and should be built before running the tests - wmctrl - pcregrep - Tcl/Tk USAGE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In order to launch all the tests available in this folder, just run make and do not interact with your computer while the tests are running. If you wish to launch one or more specific tests, then provide them as argument to the run-tests.sh script, e.g.: ./run-tests.sh <whatever>*-in.txt For failed tests you get a folder with the logs that help you identify the problem. Despite the efforts to avoid it, sometimes a test fails simply because the key presses provided to the process are someway lost due to slow hardware, slow window manager, too beautiful and animated desktop,... When this happens, the tests should be run with a higher delay among key presses. The default of 100 milliseconds can be changed by setting the XVKBD_DELAY environment variable. The standard xvkbd available on your system may be used to run the tests. However, a custom xvkbd may optionally be used that forbids the testing framework to type into non-LyX windows and may mitigate the issue described right above. This option can be activated by defining the XVKBD_HACKED environment variable to any value. SYNTAX ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Each test-case script should be named as xxx-in.txt. The syntax of the script is described in detail in the sample test-case script hello-world-in.txt. TODO ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Speed-up the execution of the tests as much as possible (i.e., get rid of heuristic waits when present and replace them with exact check of the condition we're waiting for). Allow for tests with multiple LyX instances, e.g., for copy&paste across LyX instances, or multiple applications, i.e., for testing the interaction between LyX and other applications.
