Hi,
I thought I would post here my findings about running the Batik test
suite.
The test suite can be run on the command line by using the ‘regard’
target from build.xml. It produces an HTML report that lists the failing
test cases.
To begin with, the Basic Effectivity test suite from the SVG Working
Group will probably have to be removed. That’s because it’s not shipped
with Batik (the code is pointing to a directory outside the project
root), and I can no longer find any trace of it on the Internet. Unless
I missed something, of course.
The rest of the test suite runs but results into many failures (nearly
500). Most of the tests probably just need to be updated (some of them
are based on the comparison of a bitmap rendering against a reference
image). But some of them may well point at regressions and I can see
quite a few exceptions. Do we want to take the risk of releasing Batik
with a failing test suite? Probably not.
+1, I agree we really need a working test suite prior to release.
This test suite looks like it was created before JUnit became the de
facto standard for testing. It looks rather powerful and elegantly
designed but, needless to say, it doesn’t quite have the same tooling
support as JUnit (IDE integration, CI, code coverage, etc.). Also, it
opens up several windows to render some SVG tests, which is quite
disrupting. We might want to convert it to JUnit and reduce it to
a subset that can run in the background.
But the most urgent probably is to go through the test results and
investigate the failing ones.
+1
Thanks,
Chris
