There's no documentation but John explained pretty well how it works in
a previous email. Every test is a subdirectory and is completely
self-contained, meaning all configuration files and tables are in that
directory. That's important if you want to have good understanding of
what the test does. You want to test isolated features and limit the
influences of unknown variables. Each subdirectory contains at least the
following files:
- input.xml
- expected.txt
- liblouisutdml.ini: The configuration. The liblouis tables specified in
this file should ideally point to files in the same directory to
ensure the test is completely self-contained.
- styles.cfg: The style definitions.
- semantics.sem: The semantic actions.
- README: Info about the test that will be printed when in verbose mode.
Some tests contain a dummy file named xfail to flag them as expected
failures.
For testing UTDML you'll need a more sophisticated way of comparing the
results. Right now as simple diff is made.
HTH,
Bert
