405739 - write more history autocomplete tests

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Places, defect)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

write more history autocomplete tests

we can use http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/toolkit/components/places/tests/unit/test_history_autocomplete_tags.js as a template

we're planning some changes to our autocomplete algorithm (for both performance and global frecency), so it would be good to have some tests in places.

right now we could test things like:

1)  tags come first
2)  within a chunk of time, we do typed, then visit_count, then max visit date (see http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/toolkit/components/places/src/nsNavHistoryAutoComplete.cpp#121)
3)  that non-ascii searches work
4)  that special character searching work (% and _)
5)  that bookmarked results are starred
6)  that unbookmarked (but visited) livemark feed items are not starred

and more.

There's a number of autocomplete tests, while probably not totally comprehensive, each test file can covers a lot of cases, and the head_autocomplete helps simplify writing tests. :)
