From b62ddeda02fadcd09def9354eb2ef46a7562a106 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waylan Limberg Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2017 23:18:29 -0500 Subject: Switch docs to MKDocs (#602) Fixes #601. Merged in 6f87b32 from the md3 branch and did a lot of cleanup. Changes include: * Removed old docs build tool, templates, etc. * Added MkDocs config file, etc. * filename.txt => filename.md * pythonhost.org/Markdown => Python-Markdown.github.io * Markdown lint and other cleanup. * Automate pages deployment in makefile with `mkdocs gh-deploy` Assumes a git remote is set up named "pages". Do git remote add pages https://github.com/Python-Markdown/Python-Markdown.github.io.git ... before running `make deploy` the first time. --- docs/test_suite.txt | 138 ---------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 138 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 docs/test_suite.txt (limited to 'docs/test_suite.txt') diff --git a/docs/test_suite.txt b/docs/test_suite.txt deleted file mode 100644 index ee761f2..0000000 --- a/docs/test_suite.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,138 +0,0 @@ -title: Test Suite -prev_title: Extension API -prev_url: extensions/api.html -next_title: Change Log -next_url: change_log.html - -# Test Suite - -Python-Markdown comes with a test suite which uses the [Nose] testing -framework and [YAML]. The test suite primarily serves to ensure that new bugs -are not introduced as existing bugs are patched or new features are added. It -also allows Python-Markdown to be tested with the tests from other -implementations such as John Gruber's [Perl] implementation or Michel -Fortin's [PHP] implementation. - -The test suite can be run by calling the `run_tests.py` command at the root of -the distribution tarball or by calling the `nosetests` command directly. Either -way, Nose will need to be installed on your system first (run `easy_install -nose`). Any standard nosetests configuration options can be passed in on the command -line (i.e.: verbosity level or use of a plugin like coverage). - -Additionally, a nicely formatted HTML report of all output is written to a -temporary file in `test-output.html`. Open the file in a browser to view -the report. - -A `tox.ini` file is also provided, so [tox] can be used to automatically create -virtual environments, install all testing dependencies and run the tests on -each supported Python version. See the wiki for instructions on -[setting up a testing environment] to use tox. - -The test suite contains two kinds of tests: Markdown Syntax Tests and Unit -Tests. - -## Markdown Syntax Tests - -The Syntax Tests are in the various directories contained within the 'tests' -directory of the packaged tarball. Each test consists of a matching pair of text -and HTML files. The text file contains a snippet of Markdown source text -formatted for a specific syntax feature and the HTML file contains the expected -HTML output of that snippet. When the test suite is run, each text file is run -through Markdown and the output is compared with the HTML file as a separate -Unit Test. - -In fact, this is the primary reason for using Nose, it gives us an easy way to -treat each of these tests as a separate unit test which is reported on -separately. Additionally, with the help of a couple custom Nose plugins which -are included with the Markdown Test Suite, we are able to get back an easy to -read diff of the actual output compared to expected output when a test fails. - -Here is some sample output with a test that is failing because of some -insignificant white space differences: - - $ ./run-tests.py - ..........................................................M........... - ............................SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS - SSSSSSSSSS.................S.......................................... - ......... - ====================================================================== - MarkdownSyntaxError: TestSyntax: "misc/lists3" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - MarkdownSyntaxError: Output from "/home/waylan/code/python-markdown/te - sts/misc/lists3.txt" failed to match expected output. - - --- /home/waylan/code/python-markdown/tests/misc/lists3.html - +++ actual_output.html - @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Ran 219 tests in 7.698s - - FAILED (MarkdownSyntaxError=1, SKIP=53) - -Note that 219 tests were run, one of which failed with a `MarkdownSyntaxError`. -Only Markdown Syntax Tests should fail with a `MarkdownSyntaxError`. Nose then -formats the error reports for `MarkdownSyntaxError`s so that they only include -useful information. Namely the text file which failed and a unified diff showing -the failure. Without the plugin, you would also get a useless traceback showing -how the code stepped through the test framework, but nothing about how Markdown -actually ran. - -If, on the other hand, a Syntax Test failed because some other exception gets -raised by either Markdown or the test suite, then that would be reported as per -a normal unit test failure with the appropriate traceback for debugging -purposes. - -### Syntax Test Configuration Settings - -The other thing to note about the above example is that 53 tests were skipped. -Those tests have been explicitly configured to be skipped as they are primarily -tests from either PHP or Perl which are known to fail for various reasons. In -fact, a number of different configuration settings can be set for any specific -test. - -Each Syntax Test directory contains a `test.cfg` file in the [YAML] format. The -file may contain a separate section for each text file named exactly as the file -is named minus the file extension (i.e.; the section for a test in `foo.txt` -would be `foo`). All settings are optional. Default settings for the entire -directory can be set under the `DEFAULT` section (must be all caps). Any -settings under a specific file section will override anything in the -`DEFAULT` section for that specific test only. - -Below are the configuration options available and the defaults used when they -are not explicitly set. - -* `normalize`: Switches white space normalization of the test output on or off. - Defaults to `False` (off). Note: This requires that [PyTidyLib] be installed on - the system. Otherwise the test will be skipped, regardless of any other - settings. -* `skip`: Switches skipping of the test on and off. Defaults to `False` (off). -* `input_ext`: Extension of input file. Defaults to `.txt`. Useful for tests - from other implementations. -* `output_ext`: Extension of output file. Defaults to `.html`. Useful for tests - from other implementations. -* Any keyword argument accepted by the Markdown class. If not set, Markdown's - defaults are used. - -## Unit Tests - -Unit Tests are used as regression tests for Python-Markdown's API. -All Unit Tests shipped with Python-Markdown are standard Python Unit Tests and -are all contained in `tests/test_apis.py` and `tests/test_extensions.py`. -Standard discovery methods are used to find and run the tests. Therefore, when -writing new tests, those standards and naming conventions should be followed. - -[Nose]: http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/ -[Perl]: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ -[PHP]: http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/ -[PyTidyLib]: http://countergram.com/open-source/pytidylib/ -[tox]: http://testrun.org/tox/latest/ -[setting up a testing environment]: https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/wiki/Test-Environment-Setup -[YAML]: http://yaml.org/ -- cgit v1.2.3
