*testing.txt* For Vim version 9.0. Last change: 2022 Dec 30 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Testing Vim and Vim script *testing-support* Expression evaluation is explained in |eval.txt|. This file goes into details about writing tests in Vim script. This can be used for testing Vim itself and for testing plugins. 1. Testing Vim |testing| 2. Test functions |test-functions-details| 3. Assert functions |assert-functions-details| ============================================================================== 1. Testing Vim *testing* Vim can be tested after building it, usually with "make test". The tests are located in the directory "src/testdir". There are two types of tests added over time: test20.in oldest, only for tiny and small builds test_something.vim new style tests *new-style-testing* New tests should be added as new style tests. The test scripts are named test_<feature>.vim (replace <feature> with the feature under test). These use functions such as |assert_equal()| to keep the test commands and the expected result in one place. *old-style-testing* These tests are used only for testing Vim without the |+eval| feature. Find more information in the file src/testdir/README.txt. ============================================================================== 2. Test functions *test-functions-details* test_alloc_fail({id}, {countdown}, {repeat}) *test_alloc_fail()* This is for testing: If the memory allocation with {id} is called, then decrement {countdown}, and when it reaches zero let memory allocation fail {repeat} times. When {repeat} is smaller than one it fails one time. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetAllocId()->test_alloc_fail() test_autochdir() *test_autochdir()* Set a flag to enable the effect of 'autochdir' before Vim startup has finished. test_feedinput({string}) *test_feedinput()* Characters in {string} are queued for processing as if they were typed by the user. This uses a low level input buffer. This function works only when with |+unix| or GUI is running. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetText()->test_feedinput() test_garbagecollect_now() *test_garbagecollect_now()* Like garbagecollect(), but executed right away. This must only be called directly to avoid any structure to exist internally, and |v:testing| must have been set before calling any function. *E1142* This will not work when called from a :def function, because variables on the stack will be freed. test_garbagecollect_soon() *test_garbagecollect_soon()* Set the flag to call the garbagecollector as if in the main loop. Only to be used in tests. test_getvalue({name}) *test_getvalue()* Get the value of an internal variable. These values for {name} are supported: need_fileinfo Can also be used as a |method|: > GetName()->test_getvalue() < *test_gui_event()* test_gui_event({event}, {args}) Generate a GUI {event} with arguments {args} for testing Vim functionality. This function works only when the GUI is running. {event} is a String and the supported values are: "dropfiles" drop one or more files in a window. "findrepl" search and replace text. "mouse" mouse button click event. "scrollbar" move or drag the scrollbar. "key" send a low-level keyboard event. "tabline" select a tab page by mouse click. "tabmenu" select a tabline menu entry. {args} is a Dict and contains the arguments for the event. "dropfiles": Drop one or more files in a specified window. The supported items in {args} are: files: List of file names row: window row number col: window column number modifiers: key modifiers. The supported values are: 0x4 Shift 0x8 Alt 0x10 Ctrl The files are added to the |argument-list| and the first file in {files} is edited in the window. See |drag-n-drop| for more information. This event works only when the |drop_file| feature is present. "findrepl": {only available when the GUI has a find/replace dialog} Perform a search and replace of text. The supported items in {args} are: find_text: string to find. repl_text: replacement string. flags: flags controlling the find/replace. Supported values are: 1 search next string (find dialog) 2 search next string (replace dialog) 3 replace string once 4 replace all matches 8 match whole words only 16 match case forward: set to 1 for forward search. "mouse": Inject either a mouse button click, or a mouse move, event. The supported items in {args} are: button: mouse button. The supported values are: 0 left mouse button 1 middle mouse button 2 right mouse button 3 mouse button release 4 scroll wheel down 5 scroll wheel up 6 scroll wheel left 7 scroll wheel right row: mouse click row number. The first row of the Vim window is 1 and the last row is 'lines'. col: mouse click column number. The maximum value of {col} is 'columns'. multiclick: set to 1 to inject a multiclick mouse event. modifiers: key modifiers. The supported values are: 4 shift is pressed 8 alt is pressed 16 ctrl is pressed move: Optional; if used and TRUE then a mouse move event can be generated. Only {args} row: and col: are used and required; they are interpreted as pixels or screen cells, depending on "cell". Only results in an event when 'mousemoveevent' is set or a popup uses mouse move events. cell: Optional: when present and TRUE then "move" uses screen cells instead of pixel positions "scrollbar": Set or drag the left, right or horizontal scrollbar. Only works when the scrollbar actually exists. The supported items in {args} are: which: scrollbar. The supported values are: left Left scrollbar of the current window right Right scrollbar of the current window hor Horizontal scrollbar value: amount to scroll. For the vertical scrollbars the value can be 1 to the line-count of the buffer. For the horizontal scrollbar the value can be between 1 and the maximum line length, assuming 'wrap' is not set. dragging: 1 to drag the scrollbar and 0 to click in the scrollbar. "key": Send a low-level keyboard event (e.g. key-up or down). Currently only supported on MS-Windows. The supported items in {args} are: event: The supported string values are: keyup generate a keyup event keydown generate a keydown event keycode: Keycode to use for a keyup or a keydown event. *E1291* "tabline": Inject a mouse click event on the tabline to select a tabpage. The supported items in {args} are: tabnr: tab page number "tabmenu": Inject an event to select a tabline menu entry. The supported items in {args} are: tabnr: tab page number item: tab page menu item number. 1 for the first menu item, 2 for the second item and so on. After injecting the GUI events you probably should call |feedkeys()| to have them processed, e.g.: > call feedkeys("y", 'Lx!') < Returns TRUE if the event is successfully added, FALSE if there is a failure. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetEvent()->test_gui_event({args}) < test_ignore_error({expr}) *test_ignore_error()* Ignore any error containing {expr}. A normal message is given instead. This is only meant to be used in tests, where catching the error with try/catch cannot be used (because it skips over following code). {expr} is used literally, not as a pattern. When the {expr} is the string "RESET" then the list of ignored errors is made empty. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetErrorText()->test_ignore_error() test_mswin_event({event}, {args}) *test_mswin_event()* Generate a low-level MS-Windows {event} with arguments {args} for testing Vim functionality. It works for MS-Windows GUI and for the console. {event} is a String and the supported values are: "mouse" mouse event. "key" keyboard event. "mouse": Inject either a mouse button click, or a mouse move, event. The supported items in {args} are: button: mouse button. The supported values are: 0 right mouse button 1 middle mouse button 2 left mouse button 3 mouse button release 4 scroll wheel down 5 scroll wheel up 6 scroll wheel left 7 scroll wheel right row: mouse click row number. The first row of the Vim window is 1 and the last row is 'lines'. col: mouse click column number. The maximum value of {col} is 'columns'. Note: row and col are always interpreted as screen cells for the console application. But, they may be interpreted as pixels for the GUI, depending on "cell". multiclick: set to 1 to inject a double-click mouse event. modifiers: key modifiers. The supported values are: 4 shift is pressed 8 alt is pressed 16 ctrl is pressed move: Optional; if used and TRUE then a mouse move event can be generated. Only {args} row: and col: are used and required. Only results in an event when 'mousemoveevent' is set or a popup uses mouse move events. cell: Optional for the GUI: when present and TRUE then "move" uses screen cells instead of pixel positions. Not used by the console. "key": Send a low-level keyboard event (e.g. keyup or keydown). The supported items in {args} are: event: The supported string values are: keyup generate a keyup event keydown generate a keydown event keycode: Keycode to use for a keyup or a keydown event. modifiers: Optional; key modifiers. The supported values are: 2 shift is pressed 4 ctrl is pressed 8 alt is pressed Note: These values are different from the mouse modifiers. execute: Optional. Similar to |feedkeys()| mode x. When this is included and set to true (non-zero) then Vim will process any buffered unprocessed key events. All other {args} items are optional when this is set and true. Returns TRUE if the event is successfully added or executed, FALSE if there is a failure. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetEvent()->test_mswin_event({args}) < test_null_blob() *test_null_blob()* Return a |Blob| that is null. Only useful for testing. test_null_channel() *test_null_channel()* Return a |Channel| that is null. Only useful for testing. {only available when compiled with the +channel feature} test_null_dict() *test_null_dict()* Return a |Dict| that is null. Only useful for testing. test_null_function() *test_null_function()* Return a |Funcref| that is null. Only useful for testing. test_null_job() *test_null_job()* Return a |Job| that is null. Only useful for testing. {only available when compiled with the +job feature} test_null_list() *test_null_list()* Return a |List| that is null. Only useful for testing. test_null_partial() *test_null_partial()* Return a |Partial| that is null. Only useful for testing. test_null_string() *test_null_string()* Return a |String| that is null. Only useful for testing. test_option_not_set({name}) *test_option_not_set()* Reset the flag that indicates option {name} was set. Thus it looks like it still has the default value. Use like this: > set ambiwidth=double call test_option_not_set('ambiwidth') < Now the 'ambiwidth' option behaves like it was never changed, even though the value is "double". Only to be used for testing! Can also be used as a |method|: > GetOptionName()->test_option_not_set() test_override({name}, {val}) *test_override()* Overrides certain parts of Vim's internal processing to be able to run tests. Only to be used for testing Vim! The override is enabled when {val} is non-zero and removed when {val} is zero. Current supported values for {name} are: {name} effect when {val} is non-zero ~ alloc_lines make a copy of every buffer line into allocated memory, so that memory access errors can be found by valgrind autoload `import autoload` will load the script right away, not postponed until an item is used char_avail disable the char_avail() function nfa_fail makes the NFA regexp engine fail to force a fallback to the old engine no_query_mouse do not query the mouse position for "dec" terminals no_wait_return set the "no_wait_return" flag. Not restored with "ALL". redraw disable the redrawing() function redraw_flag ignore the RedrawingDisabled flag starting reset the "starting" variable, see below term_props reset all terminal properties when the version string is detected ui_delay time in msec to use in ui_delay(); overrules a wait time of up to 3 seconds for messages uptime overrules sysinfo.uptime vterm_title setting the window title by a job running in a terminal window ALL clear all overrides, except alloc_lines ({val} is not used) "starting" is to be used when a test should behave like startup was done. Since the tests are run by sourcing a script the "starting" variable is non-zero. This is usually a good thing (tests run faster), but sometimes changes behavior in a way that the test doesn't work properly. When using: > call test_override('starting', 1) < The value of "starting" is saved. It is restored by: > call test_override('starting', 0) < Can also be used as a |method|: > GetOverrideVal()-> test_override('starting') test_refcount({expr}) *test_refcount()* Return the reference count of {expr}. When {expr} is of a type that does not have a reference count, returns -1. Only to be used for testing. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetVarname()->test_refcount() test_setmouse({row}, {col}) *test_setmouse()* Set the mouse position to be used for the next mouse action. {row} and {col} are one based. For example: > call test_setmouse(4, 20) call feedkeys("\<LeftMouse>", "xt") test_settime({expr}) *test_settime()* Set the time Vim uses internally. Currently only used for timestamps in the history, as they are used in viminfo, and for undo. Using a value of 1 makes Vim not sleep after a warning or error message. {expr} must evaluate to a number. When the value is zero the normal behavior is restored. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetTime()->test_settime() test_srand_seed([seed]) *test_srand_seed()* When [seed] is given this sets the seed value used by `srand()`. When omitted the test seed is removed. test_unknown() *test_unknown()* Return a value with unknown type. Only useful for testing. test_void() *test_void()* Return a value with void type. Only useful for testing. ============================================================================== 3. Assert functions *assert-functions-details* assert_beeps({cmd}) *assert_beeps()* Run {cmd} and add an error message to |v:errors| if it does NOT produce a beep or visual bell. Also see |assert_fails()|, |assert_nobeep()| and |assert-return|. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetCmd()->assert_beeps() < *assert_equal()* assert_equal({expected}, {actual} [, {msg}]) When {expected} and {actual} are not equal an error message is added to |v:errors| and 1 is returned. Otherwise zero is returned |assert-return|. There is no automatic conversion, the String "4" is different from the Number 4. And the number 4 is different from the Float 4.0. The value of 'ignorecase' is not used here, case always matters. When {msg} is omitted an error in the form "Expected {expected} but got {actual}" is produced. Example: > assert_equal('foo', 'bar') < Will result in a string to be added to |v:errors|: test.vim line 12: Expected 'foo' but got 'bar' ~ Can also be used as a |method|, the base is passed as the second argument: > mylist->assert_equal([1, 2, 3]) < *assert_equalfile()* assert_equalfile({fname-one}, {fname-two} [, {msg}]) When the files {fname-one} and {fname-two} do not contain exactly the same text an error message is added to |v:errors|. Also see |assert-return|. When {fname-one} or {fname-two} does not exist the error will mention that. Mainly useful with |terminal-diff|. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetLog()->assert_equalfile('expected.log') assert_exception({error} [, {msg}]) *assert_exception()* When v:exception does not contain the string {error} an error message is added to |v:errors|. Also see |assert-return|. This can be used to assert that a command throws an exception. Using the error number, followed by a colon, avoids problems with translations: > try commandthatfails call assert_false(1, 'command should have failed') catch call assert_exception('E492:') endtry < *assert_fails()* assert_fails({cmd} [, {error} [, {msg} [, {lnum} [, {context}]]]]) Run {cmd} and add an error message to |v:errors| if it does NOT produce an error or when {error} is not found in the error message. Also see |assert-return|. *E856* When {error} is a string it must be found literally in the first reported error. Most often this will be the error code, including the colon, e.g. "E123:". > assert_fails('bad cmd', 'E987:') < When {error} is a |List| with one or two strings, these are used as patterns. The first pattern is matched against the first reported error: > assert_fails('cmd', ['E987:.*expected bool']) < The second pattern, if present, is matched against the last reported error. If there is only one error then both patterns must match. This can be used to check that there is only one error. To only match the last error use an empty string for the first error: > assert_fails('cmd', ['', 'E987:']) < If {msg} is empty then it is not used. Do this to get the default message when passing the {lnum} argument. *E1115* When {lnum} is present and not negative, and the {error} argument is present and matches, then this is compared with the line number at which the error was reported. That can be the line number in a function or in a script. *E1116* When {context} is present it is used as a pattern and matched against the context (script name or function name) where {lnum} is located in. Note that beeping is not considered an error, and some failing commands only beep. Use |assert_beeps()| for those. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetCmd()->assert_fails('E99:') assert_false({actual} [, {msg}]) *assert_false()* When {actual} is not false an error message is added to |v:errors|, like with |assert_equal()|. Also see |assert-return|. A value is false when it is zero. When {actual} is not a number the assert fails. When {msg} is omitted an error in the form "Expected False but got {actual}" is produced. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetResult()->assert_false() assert_inrange({lower}, {upper}, {actual} [, {msg}]) *assert_inrange()* This asserts number and |Float| values. When {actual} is lower than {lower} or higher than {upper} an error message is added to |v:errors|. Also see |assert-return|. When {msg} is omitted an error in the form "Expected range {lower} - {upper}, but got {actual}" is produced. *assert_match()* assert_match({pattern}, {actual} [, {msg}]) When {pattern} does not match {actual} an error message is added to |v:errors|. Also see |assert-return|. {pattern} is used as with |=~|: The matching is always done like 'magic' was set and 'cpoptions' is empty, no matter what the actual value of 'magic' or 'cpoptions' is. {actual} is used as a string, automatic conversion applies. Use "^" and "$" to match with the start and end of the text. Use both to match the whole text. When {msg} is omitted an error in the form "Pattern {pattern} does not match {actual}" is produced. Example: > assert_match('^f.*o$', 'foobar') < Will result in a string to be added to |v:errors|: test.vim line 12: Pattern '^f.*o$' does not match 'foobar' ~ Can also be used as a |method|: > getFile()->assert_match('foo.*') < assert_nobeep({cmd}) *assert_nobeep()* Run {cmd} and add an error message to |v:errors| if it produces a beep or visual bell. Also see |assert_beeps()|. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetCmd()->assert_nobeep() < *assert_notequal()* assert_notequal({expected}, {actual} [, {msg}]) The opposite of `assert_equal()`: add an error message to |v:errors| when {expected} and {actual} are equal. Also see |assert-return|. Can also be used as a |method|: > mylist->assert_notequal([1, 2, 3]) < *assert_notmatch()* assert_notmatch({pattern}, {actual} [, {msg}]) The opposite of `assert_match()`: add an error message to |v:errors| when {pattern} matches {actual}. Also see |assert-return|. Can also be used as a |method|: > getFile()->assert_notmatch('bar.*') assert_report({msg}) *assert_report()* Report a test failure directly, using String {msg}. Always returns one. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetMessage()->assert_report() assert_true({actual} [, {msg}]) *assert_true()* When {actual} is not true an error message is added to |v:errors|, like with |assert_equal()|. Also see |assert-return|. A value is TRUE when it is a non-zero number. When {actual} is not a number the assert fails. When {msg} is omitted an error in the form "Expected True but got {actual}" is produced. Can also be used as a |method|: > GetResult()->assert_true() < vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:
