[Phpwiki-talk] Testing code available

[Steve W. <sw...@pa...>]

Hello,

The folks at my last job were very kind in turning over to me the rights
to a little testing system I wrote for them. I've added it to the 1.3
branch.

It consists of two Perl scripts; one generates a Makefile and a build.xml
file, the other generates Java source files based on input scripts.

To use this testing software, you need Java (java + javac), Perl, Ant
(from http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/) and httpunit (from
http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/).

Ant has to be in your PATH, and the three jar files in httpunit have to be
in your CLASSPATH.

The idea behind this is you can run a set of automated tests against the
Wiki as you do development. That way you can readily see if your code
changes broke anything. I will be adding some more tests, probably today,
and committing a few tutorial pages to pgsrc/ to show how to use it.

Hopefully, once you have Ant and httpunit set up, you will have to do very
little to run tests outside of:

cd tests/
./makemakebuild.pl
ant

and a whole bunch of tests will run against PhpWiki.

cheers
