New description:
In unit testing, previously we've been used the following trick a lot to
achieve:
1. Force executing only one specific test:
1. Running the test without the evolving of YUI runner, which means
instead of having exceptions been caught by the runner, they were throwing
to browser's default exception handling logic, which is more friendly for
debugging.
{{{
// Run one specific test without registering to YUI runner.
window.onload = testCase.testName;
}}}
Now when adapting to our new testing system CKTester( #4218 ), the old
approach doesn't work at all, so this ticket
is intended to figure out a better way for achieving the above two goals
without change CKTester.
One official way ( from YUI Test functionality ) is to use this kind of
'meta instructions' on a test case:
{{{
var oTestCase = new YAHOO.tool.TestCase({
_should: {
ignore: {
testName: true //ignore this test
}
}
});
}}}
We should be easily extend it with certain new instructions to support our
above desired functionality:
{{{
_should: {
ignoreAllBut: {
testName: true // Ignore all tests except this,
comment this line to toggle it.
},
throws: {
testName: true // This test should throws
exception instead of having it caught by runner.
}
}
}}}
With a little bit simplification, it could be written in the following
form, which should be more easier to understand and modify.
{{{
shouldIgnoreAllBut : [ 'testName' ],
shouldThrows : [ 'testName' ]
}}}
