368097 - XUL Widget Tests

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: UI Widgets, defect)

Description

[Neil Deakin]

This is about checking in the XUL widget test suite I've been working on. Currently, I'm going to put them in toolkit/tests and can run during the make check phase.

Nice. How do they run?

Comment 2

[Neil Deakin]

It should run by opening a browser and running through the tests for each widget. It works in the same way as the reftests do.

It doesn't output any pass/fail state to the console though as I'm not sure what should happen there. It does display a table of green pass and red fail rows.

Attachment: Current tests I have written

This adds tests to test the following widgets and xul features:
  datepicker, key, scale, stringbundle, textbox, spellchecking textbox,
  timepicker, notificationbox, menu, menu buttons, trees and templates

The patch in bug 364508 is needed for the tests to work. Some subtests don't work if the window isn't raised, and three of the spellchecking subtests don't work on Windows.

To run the tests:
  cd [outputdir]/toolkit/tests
  make lcheck

That patch doesn't include happy.png (naturally, since it's binary)...

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

So when I run these, it runs the "Menu Toolbar Button" tests what looks like partway (according to the progress meter) then stops...  Is that expected?

Also, given a test failure is there a reasonable way to view that test?

Finally, there are 0 tests for toolbar, images, etc?  Or am I doing something wrong?

The patch here for the tests are works in progress, so only the elements listed in comment 3 have tests.

No, but that was an issue on Windows. It's possible I made the patch before I fixed that issue.

Attachment: This version includes updated tests and works with the event simulating api

[Neil Deakin]

These tests are old and mostly either have been added or have equivalents added.
