=Test Automation=

Since 2022 we have test automation on [https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/actions/workflows/gramps-ci.yml?query=branch%3Amaster GitHub Actions]. Status of all branches is [https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/actions/workflows/gramps-ci.yml here].
 +
 +
GitHub Actions configuration is in [https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/blob/master/.github/workflows/gramps-ci.yml .gramps-ci.yml].
 +
 +
What tests does GitHub Actions run? This is determined by the script line in [https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/blob/master/.github/workflows/gramps-ci.yml .gramps-ci.yml].

Test Automation

Since 2022 we have test automation on GitHub Actions. Status of all branches is here.

GitHub Actions configuration is in .gramps-ci.yml.

What tests does GitHub Actions run? This is determined by the script line in .gramps-ci.yml. nosetest3 runs all modules or folders named *[Tt]est.

Test status

As of Jan 2015 we don't have a record of tests executed, the platforms and environments they were run upon, and what code they covered. The only indirect evidence is available in open bugs, when people care to fill in these details. :-(

Possible improvements

Tests and frameworks used

Manual test plan

See TestPlan.txt in gramps toplevel. (I believe this is only done at a major release).

Specialized scripts for testing

See more specialized scripts in test/, status unknown.

Contents of test/ :

  • GrampsLogger/
    • ErrorReportAssistant_Test.py
    • GtkHandler_Test.py
  • LosHawlos_bsddbtest.py
  • LosHawlos_dbtest.py
  • RunAllTests.py

  • det_descendant_report.sh
  • impex.sh
  • runtest.sh
  • tools.sh

testing of reports

test/runtest.sh

test/runtest.sh - Report test for Gramps: Generate every report in every format. Runs all possible reports using the report cli interface, based on the example.gramps database. This test is not fully self-contained, in that it depends on various environment settings, such as your locale, your preferred name display formats, and your report options. Last, but not the least, the verification of the resulting reports is entirely manual.

Bugs tagged as found-by-runtest.sh

test/impex.sh

test/impex.sh - Import/export test for Gramps.

From the file header:

  • Import example XML data and create internal Gramps DB
  • Open produced Gramps DB, then
    • check data for integrity
    • output in all formats
  • Check resulting XML for well-formedness and validate it against DTD and RelaxNG schema.
  • Import every exported file produced if the format is also supported for import, and run a text summary report.
  • Diff each report with the summary of the produced example DB.

Bugs tagged as found-by-impex.sh

Unit testing

test/RunAllTests.py

test/RunAllTests.py - Testing framework for performing a variety of unittests for Gramps. Runs out-of-tree (not in gramps/) testing code, by looking for any test/*_Test.py files and executing the test suites therein. See the current code in test/*_Test.py for example and python standard unittest docs.

Starting with gramps4.x branch

these tests include non-automated unit tests only. The automated unit tests are all under gramps/.

Note from Nick Hall

Some of the merge tests are slow because they actually run Gramps from the command line to import and export files.

Extra packages and addons are required to run some of the tests. From memory, you will need the

  • Gramps addons
    • CliMerge
    • ExportRaw
  • and the python packages.
    • libxml2
    • libxslt
    • mocking

semi-interactive

There is also semi-interactive testing via __main__ in some code:
