Writing Tests ============= Here's how to write tests. 1. Create a new file in the t directory, called foo.t. Start with the following lines: require 't/test.pl'; package OddMuse; use Test::More tests => $num clear_pages(); This will load the testing library, make all its functions available to you, announce that you plan to make $num tests, and clear all the pages from the test wiki. The test wiki will be created in /tmp/oddmuse. 2. The wiki is accessed via the command line only. You don't need to have your code installed on a webserver! Just run the test from the parent directory: perl t/foo.t 3. Write $num tests. :) 4. To examine the situation after having run some tests, you can also call the script from the command line. The only problem is that the tests use a specific data directory that you need to provide via an environment variable: WikiDataDir=test-data perl wiki.pl action=index raw=1 add_module, remove_module, and remove_rule ------------------------------------------ Load a module before you run any tests: add_module('usemod.pl'); If the module has important setup code, you might have to add the following: InitVariables(); The reason is this: If you add a module and the run the script again, you're fine. But if you run tests that don't invoke another copy of the script, then the init code will not have run. Modules and rules need rarely be removed, since every *.t file starts in a new process. If you then want to run additional tests without the module you added (in the same *.t file!), then remove both the module and the rules it added. You'll have to do this manually, unfortunately. remove_module('usemod.pl'); remove_rule(\&UsemodRule); update_page ----------- $page = update_page($pagename, $content); update_page($pagename, $content, $summary, $minor, $admin, @rest); @rest is a list of parameter=value string pairs: @rest = ('username=joe', 'ns=Moore'); If updating the page resultet in a redirect, the redirect is stored in the variable $redirect, and you still get the result page returned. test_page($redirect, split('\n',<<'EOT')); banned text wiki administrator matched See .*BannedContent.* for more information EOT You can even create pages containing file uploads directly: $page = update_page('alex pic', "#FILE image/png\niVBORw0KGgoAAAA"); get_page -------- $page = get_page('action=calendar'); $page = get_page('action=rc all=1 showedit=1'); $page = get_page('action=rc', 'all=1', 'showedit=1'); test_page(get_page('action=all'), 'restricted to administrators'); Return the text of the page. The parameters are the parameters available to you from the command line when using the CGI library: keyword1 keyword2 keyword3 keyword1+keyword2+keyword3 name1=value1 name2=value2 name1=value1&name2=value2 "name1='I am a long value'" "name2=two\ words" /your/path/here?name1=value1&name2=value2 run_tests --------- Takes a list of alternating input and output strings, applies rules (and thus @MyRules) to input and compares it to the output. If you have html attributes in the output you want to test, use xpath_run_tests, because the order of the attributes is not guaranteed and varies with CGI library version. run_tests(q{"Get lost!", they say.}, q{“Get lost!”, they say.}); run_tests(split('\n', <<'EOT')); input1 output1 input2 output2 EOT Newline excapes \n in the input and output are translated to real newlines when running the tests. run_tests(split('\n',<<'EOT')); * ''one\n** two
