Bug ID: 163016
Summary: We need the ability to write Basic Unit Tests for
built-in Libraries
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.0.0 alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Currently, LibreOffice ships with various built-in Basic Libraries, such as
Gimmicks, Tools, ScriptForge etc. However, we are unable to provide unit tests
for these libraries and avoid unexpected breakages (see f.i. bug 162962).
In the case of ScriptForge, we would like to integrate unit tests into
LibreOffice's CI, however we have not been able to do so, because the current
Basic unit tests are unable to access the built-in Basic libraries.
Ideally, it should be possible to create Basic tests in
basic/qa/basic_coverage/ as we currently do to test the language itself. See
for instance of a prototype of what I think should be possible in:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/173485
The test above fails because it is unable to access GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.
Alternatively, I have already tried writing Cpp tests as the ones in:
/core/sc/qa/extras/macros-test.cxx
However, only the document's Standard library is loaded at runtime, so testing
ScriptForge with Cpp tests is currently not viable.
In summary, we need a testing environment where built-in Basic libraries are
accessible by Basic and/or Cpp unit tests.
