Syntax testcase
From MediaWiki extension testing
3 dataformat to go about it: wiki, xml, py (see also the examples directory, and the HELP file)
Contents |
List of possible elements
| element name | function | (comments) |
|---|---|---|
| name | The name of the test | |
| code | The wikicode to be tested (wikicode test) | |
| expect | The expected html output from mediawiki, if it were to parse the contents of the code element | |
| result | The actual html output from mediawiki, when it last parsed the contents of the code element | (output by testbot) |
| diff | An ascii-text diff between code and expect, provided for convenience. (see: class Differ for technical description) | (output by testbot) |
| pageReference | for tests originally derived from the wiki, provides details on where the test was found, (so as to be able to write results back to the wiki later) | (output by testbot, .py only, time critical) |
Multiple data formats
The testbot just need data to work with. The dataformat is not so important. So by making the testbot can read more then one dataformat it is more flexible. The initialy dataformat is, ofcourse, the wikipage.
Conversion from the wikipage to other format
Not yet documented.
Examples
- Example testcase format python Testset using .py file
- Example testcase format xml Testset using .xml file
- Example testcase format wikipage Testset using a normal wikipage.
