Setting up tests for a new language pair

To add these test scripts to your language pair, go into your language pair directory and do:

git clone https://github.com/IlnarSelimcan/apertium-wiki-tests tests
# edit tests/config.sh.in and save as tests/config.sh
git add tests

You should have your tests in a page named after your language pair, e.g. http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/apertium-sme-smj/Regression_tests and http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/apertium-sme-smj/Pending_tests

Running the tests

To run the tests from your language pair, assuming it’s been set up as shown above, do

t/update-latest

This will overwrite the files named t/latest-pending.results and t/latest-regression.results. You can view the differences with

svn diff

Test results are kept in SVN since that means we don’t have to keep moving things back and forth between “Pending” and “Regression” in the wiki whenever we pass a new test (or fail an old one), and we get a nice log of our progression.

To run just regression or just pending tests, use t/pending-tests or t/regression-tests. Pass the -f argument to those scripts to only see failed regression tests or passed pending tests, e.g.

t/regression-tests -f
