Suppose I make a change to texi2any that results in a change to the HTML output. There is no easy way to update the results of the tests under tta/perl/t/z_misc/.
The way I have been doing it is running $ for f in t/z_misc/*.t ; do perl -w $f ; done and looking through the results for messages like: ok 1 - modules loading ok 2 - three_files_first_file_same_parser parsing errors ok 3 - three_files_first_file_same_parser converted info not ok 4 - three_files_first_file_same_parser converted html # Failed test 'three_files_first_file_same_parser converted html' # at t/z_misc/same_parser_multiple_files.t line 57. # t/z_misc//../../../perl/t/results//same_parser_multiple_files/three_files_first_file_same_parser/res_html/results.html and t/results//same_parser_multiple_files/three_files_first_file_same_parser/out_html/results.html differ: 1 ok 5 - three_files_next_file_same_parser parsing errors ok 6 - three_files_next_file_same_parser converted info ok 7 - three_files_next_file_same_parser converted html ok 8 - three_files_last_file_same_parser parsing errors ok 9 - three_files_last_file_same_parser converted info ok 10 - three_files_last_file_same_parser converted html # Looks like you failed 1 test of 10. I'll then copy the output file to the reference file (copying and pasting the file names from the output). Then I have to repeat this again to check that there are no more failures. There is a note in t/z_misc/no_structure_test.t and t/z_misc/same_parser_multiple_files.t (which are the two tests I've had the most trouble with): # NOTE the references need to be updated manually, by copying # out_* directories files or cut and pasting.
