Just found another bit of grit: there is little or no machinery to
set up config settings in external unit tests.
**Important**: This is far from a gotcha: I'm still in love with
Alt-4 :-)
As a workaround, the unit test that I have been working on all day
today (the test that demonstrates the html whitespace problem) does
the following::
# When run externally, c.config.getData will return None.
html_tags = ('body','head','html','table','xxx',)
setting = 'import_html_tags'
existing_tags = c.config.getData(setting)
if not existing_tags:
g.app.config.set(None,setting,'data',html_tags)
g.app.config.set(None,'full_import_checks','bool',True)
But this is not satisfactory.
Calling g.app.config.set isn't hard: the problem is realizing that the
test does have to set particular settings!
I certainly had no memory of the @bool full_import_checks setting. So
I had to figure out why the external unit test was always passing,
when the local test failed as expected.
Yes, one could define a default setting for full_import_checks, so
that external unit tests will use them, but that only works for
*today's* unit test. It's not a general solution.
Furthermore, it's not obvious what to use for settings in external
unit tests. We can use the existing settings in unitTest.leo, because
we have an @settings node there that can define settings for unit
tests. But outside of unitTest.leo the @settings node isn't going to
be tailored for unit testing!
As I write this, I see that the code that creates dynamicUnitTest.leo
should probably copy the @settings tree from unitTest.leo, plus all
the settings in leoSettings.leo. Yuck. Fully initing settings might
slow down external tests a lot, and that would not be good.
For now, I'll live with this problem, but I think it will have to be
fixed eventually...
