Module:UnitTests

UnitTests provides a unit test facility that can be used by other scripts using require. See Wikipedia:Lua#Unit_testing for details. Following is a sample from Module:Example/testcases:
-- Unit tests for [[Module:Example]]. Click talk page to run tests.
local p = require('Module:UnitTests')
function p:test_hello()
self:preprocess_equals('Hello World!', 'Hello World!')
end
return p
The talk page Module talk:Example/testcases executes it with {{#invoke: Example/testcases | run_tests}}
. Test methods like test_hello above must begin with "test".
Methods
run_tests
run_tests
: Runs all tests. Normally used on talk page of unit tests.
{{#invoke:Example/testcases|run_tests}}
- If
differs_at=1
is specified, a column will be added showing the first character position where the expected and actual results differ.
{{#invoke:Example/testcases|run_tests|differs_at=1}}
- If
{{{1}}}
is specified, the header will show the columns "Test", "Live", "Sandbox", "Expected"
preprocess_equals
preprocess_equals(text, expected, options)
: Gives a piece of wikitext to preprocess and an expected resulting value. Scripts and templates can be invoked in the same manner they would be in a page.
self:preprocess_equals('{{#invoke:Example | hello}}', 'Hello, world!',{nowiki=1})
preprocess_equals_many
preprocess_equals_many(prefix, suffix, cases, options)
: Performs a series of preprocess_equals() calls on a set of given pairs. Automatically adds the given prefix and suffix to each text.
self:preprocess_equals_many('{{#invoke:Example | hello_to |', '}}', {
{'John', 'Hello, John!'},
{'Jane', 'Hello, Jane!'},
},{nowiki=1})
preprocess_equals_preprocess
preprocess_equals_preprocess(text, expected, options)
: Gives two pieces of wikitext to preprocess and determines if they produce the same value. Useful for comparing scripts to existing templates.
self:preprocess_equals_preprocess('{{#invoke:Example| hello}}', '{{Hello}}',{nowiki=1})
preprocess_equals_preprocess_many
preprocess_equals_preprocess_many(prefix1, suffix1, prefix2, suffix2, cases, options)
: Performs a series of preprocess_equals_preprocess() calls on a set of given pairs. The prefix/suffix supplied for both arguments is added automatically. If in any case the second part is not specified, the first part will be used.
self:preprocess_equals_preprocess_many('{{#invoke:ConvertNumeric | numeral_to_english|', '}}', '{{spellnum', '}}', {
{'2'}, -- equivalent to {'2','2'},
{'-2', '-2.0'},
},{nowiki=1})
preprocess_equals_sandbox_many
preprocess_equals_sandbox_many(module, function, cases, options)
: Performs a series of preprocess_equals_compare() calls on a set of given pairs. The test compares the live version of the module vs the /sandbox version and vs an expected result.
self:preprocess_equals_sandbox_many('{{#invoke:Example', 'hello_to', {
{'John', 'Hello, John!'},
{'Jane', 'Hello, Jane!'},
},{nowiki=1})
equals
equals(name, actual, expected, options)
: Gives a computed value and the expected value, and checks if they are equal according to the == operator. Useful for testing modules that are designed to be used by other modules rather than using #invoke.
self:equals('Simple addition', 2 + 2, 4,{nowiki=1})
equals_deep
equals_deep(name, actual, expected, options)
: Like equals, but handles tables by doing a deep comparison. Neither value should contain circular references, as they are not handled by the current implementation and may result in an infinite loop.
self:equals_deep('Table comparison', createRange(1,3), {1,2,3},{nowiki=1})
