Hi All, I think the codebase is seriously lacking of unit tests, which makes refactoring a bit hazardous. Of course there is the wonderful layoutengine testsuite that allows to check if a XSL-FO file is rendered as expected (BTW, I don't remember who introduced this feature, but a huge thanks to them, that's very useful!), but this is already at a too high level in that it tests the code in a whole.
What I need is the possibility of unit testing one class at a time like, say, TableRowIterator. The constructor of this class takes a Table and a ColumnSetup as arguments, so I have to create ones if I want to unit test it. But that would be a pity to create the whole structure by hand whereas there is already code somewhere that does it. So my question is: is there a possibility of creating a tree of FObj instances from a corresponding FO fragment, and use it to feed objects from the layout engine in order to unit test them? It doesn't seem to be the case currently, but how difficult would it be to extract that from the current codebase? Or is this feature already available and I totally missed it? Any ideas, opinions, hints are welcome. Thanks, Vincent
