Module:UnitTests

Module documentation

UnitTests provides a unit test facility that can be used by other scripts using require. Following is an example: 

-- Unit tests for [[Module:Bananas]]. Click talk page to run tests.
local p = require('Module:UnitTests')

function p:test_hello()
    self:preprocess_equals('{{#invoke:Bananas| hello}}', 'Hello World!')
end

return p

This would be executed with {{#invoke: Bananas/testcases | run_tests}}. Test methods like test_hello above must begin with "test".

Methods

edit

run_tests

edit
  • run_tests - Runs all tests. Normally used on talk page of unit tests.
    {{#invoke:Bananas/testcases|run_tests}}
  • If differs_at=1 is specified, a column will be added showing the first character position where the expected and actual results differ.
    {{#invoke:Bananas/testcases|run_tests|differs_at=1}}

preprocess_equals

edit
  • preprocess_equals(text, expected, options) - Gives a piece of wikitext to preprocess and an expected resulting value. Scripts and templates can be invoked in the same manner they would be in a page.
    self:preprocess_equals('{{#invoke:Bananas | hello}}', 'Hello, world!',{nowiki=1})

preprocess_equals_many

edit
  • preprocess_equals_many(prefix, suffix, cases, options) - Performs a series of preprocess_equals() calls on a set of given pairs. Automatically adds the given prefix and suffix to each text.
    self:preprocess_equals_many('{{#invoke:BananasArgs | add |', '}}', {
        {'2|3', '5'},
        {'-2|2', '0'},
    },{nowiki=1})

preprocess_equals_preprocess

edit
  • preprocess_equals_preprocess(text, expected, options) - Gives two pieces of wikitext to preprocess and determines if they produce the same value. Useful for comparing scripts to existing templates.
    self:preprocess_equals_preprocess('{{#invoke:Bananas | hello}}', '{{Hello}}',{nowiki=1})

preprocess_equals_preprocess_many

edit
  • preprocess_equals_preprocess_many(prefix, suffix, cases, options) - Performs a series of preprocess_equals_preprocess() calls on a set of given pairs. The prefix/suffix supplied for both arguments is added automatically. If in any case the second part is not specified, the first part will be used.
    self:preprocess_equals_preprocess_many('{{#invoke:Foo | spellnum |', '}}', '{{spellnum', '}}', {
        {'2'}, -- equivalent to {'2','2'},
        {'-2', '-2.0'},
    },{nowiki=1})

equals

edit
  • equals(name, actual, expected, options) - Gives a computed value and the expected value, and checks if they are equal according to the == operator. Useful for testing modules that are designed to be used by other modules rather than using #invoke.
    self:equals('Simple addition', 2 + 2, 4,{nowiki=1})

equals_deep

edit
  • equals_deep(name, actual, expected, options) - Like equals, but handles tables by doing a deep comparison. Neither value should contain circular references, as they are not handled by the current implementation and may result in an infinite loop.
    self:equals_deep('Table comparison', createRange(1,3), {1,2,3},{nowiki=1})
