Hi Elmar,

I'm sorry I took so long to get to this. I've started marking some
tickets as 'easyfix'. I'm not sure that these are indeed easy to fix,
but I think they might be a good place to start for you. I will
continue to add this tag to bugs.

Apropos of nothing whatever, but how do you determine the sex of easyfix 
bugs? Is it that buglettes tend to be more curly (= curvy?), whereas 
buglets have a particular point?

Good catch! buglettes are much more sophisticated (think French) :)

 I set up my own LyX-mirror on github: https://github.com/t3elmar/Lyx

 By mirror do you mean that it will be updated automatically?


Nope, not a real mirror. It's just the master branch and it's updated when
I play with lyx.
I plan to use the repository to present my sketches, before gaining enough
reputation to send them in.

 Now I would like to fix some bugs.

Give me some bug please

[Elmar Hinz]

Hello,

I practiced to complie the code with cmake.

I set up my own LyX-mirror on github: https://github.com/t3elmar/Lyx

Now I would like to fix some bugs.

I am experienced with OOP and design patterns. I am not experienced with
C++.
Hence it should be some rather easy bugs just to get started.

By the way, I is there an infrastucture for unit tests?

Thanks

Elmar

Not really. There is structure for other kinds of tests though. There
are export tests and autotests. Export tests test that a certain .lyx
file can be exported in several formats (pdf via latex, pdf via
pdflatex, pdf via luatex, and lyxhtml) with a zero error code return.
Autotests try to simulate a user session. I think you need X
installed. They open LyX and execute commands just like a user would.

Since you are using CMake, maybe you can run the tests, although I
don't know of anyone on a Mac who has done so. To try, run ctest.
If the autotests fail, try to run only the export tests with ctest
-R export.

If you have an idea for implementing a unit test framework, I would be
interested. I think it would be a lot of work though and that we
aren't ready for it yet.

On the contrary. From my experiance it is cheap and simple to get started
with unit testing.
You don't need to write all the tests at once.

All you need to do is two steps:

1.) decide the testing framework i.e.
googletesthttp://code.google.com/p/googletest/.

2.) decide the directory layout

The directory layout is typically the layout of the sources. Similiar to
this:

project/src/my/superfeature/superclass.cpp
project/tests/unit/my/superfetures/superclassTest.cpp

Now everybody can create test classes.
With every bugfix a new test is added.

Regards

Elmar
