Test

This directory contains a some simple test-cases which can be used upon a Linux/MacOS host to run functional tests of the emulator.

The general approach is to fake input to the emulator, such that we tell it to run "A:FOO", or similar, and confirm we get the output we expect.

Assumptions

• For this to work you'll need to have cpm-dist cloned in the same parent-directory to this repository.
• You'll need to create a suitable pre-cooked input file.

Usage

To run all tests, from the parent-directory, execute:

$ ./test/run-tests.sh

To run a specific test:

$ ./test/run-test.sh zork1

Implementation

The idea is that to write a new test there will be two files created:

• foo.in
  • This will contain the input which the test should pass to the emulator.
  • NOTE: That a # character will insert a 1 second delay in input reading.
• foo.pat
  • This file contains one regular expression per line.
  • If the output of running the test DOES NOT MATCH each pattern that is a fatal error.
  • NOTE: Don't forget the trailing newline.

Configuration

We've had to had some configuration to the test-cases to work with assumptions, at the moment the only real config options relate to newline handling.

• newline specifies which kind of line-endings to send:
  • "n"
    • A newline is \n
  • "m"
    • A newline is Ctrl-M
  • "both"
    • A newline is the pair "Ctrl-m" & "\n", in that order.
• pause-on-newline:true
  • Will sleep for five seconds after sending a newline.
