Tests

Tests are run by /cmake/RunTests.cmake file, using busted.

For some failures, .nvimlog (or $NVIM_LOG_FILE) may provide insight.

Lint

make lint (and make testlint) runs luacheck on the test code.

If a luacheck warning must be ignored, specify the warning code. Example:

-- luacheck: ignore 621

http://luacheck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/warnings.html

Ignore the smallest applicable scope (e.g. inside a function, not at the top of the file).

Layout

/test/benchmark : benchmarks
/test/functional : functional tests
/test/unit : unit tests
/test/config : contains *.in files which are transformed into *.lua files using configure_file CMake command: this is for acessing CMake variables in lua tests.
/test/includes : include-files for use by luajit ffi.cdef C definitions parser: normally used to make macros not accessible via this mechanism accessible the other way.
/test/*/preload.lua : modules preloaded by busted --helper option
/test/**/helpers.lua : common utility functions for test code
/test/*/**/*_spec.lua : actual tests. Files that do not end with _spec.lua are libraries like /test/**/helpers.lua, except that they have some common topic.

Tests in /test/unit and /test/functional are normally divided into groups by the semantic component they are testing.

Environment variables

Test behaviour is affected by environment variables. Currently supported (Functional, Unit, Benchmarks) (when Defined; when set to 1; when defined, treated as Integer; when defined, treated as String; when defined, treated as Number; !must be defined to function properly):

GDB (F) (D): makes nvim instances to be run under gdbserver. It will be accessible on localhost:7777: use gdb build/bin/nvim, type target remote :7777 inside.

GDBSERVER_PORT (F) (I): overrides port used for GDB.

VALGRIND (F) (D): makes nvim instances to be run under valgrind. Log files are named valgrind-%p.log in this case. Note that non-empty valgrind log may fail tests. Valgrind arguments may be seen in /test/functional/helpers.lua. May be used in conjunction with GDB.

VALGRIND_LOG (F) (S): overrides valgrind log file name used for VALGRIND.

TEST_SKIP_FRAGILE (F) (D): makes test suite skip some fragile tests.

NVIM_PROG, NVIM_PRG (F) (S): override path to Neovim executable (default to build/bin/nvim).

CC (U) (S): specifies which C compiler to use to preprocess files. Currently only compilers with gcc-compatible arguments are supported.

NVIM_TEST_MAIN_CDEFS (U) (1): makes ffi.cdef run in main process. This raises a possibility of bugs due to conflicts in header definitions, despite the counters, but greatly speeds up unit tests by not requiring ffi.cdef to do parsing of big strings with C definitions.

NVIM_TEST_PRINT_I (U) (1): makes cimport print preprocessed, but not yet filtered through formatc headers. Used to debug formatc. Printing is done with the line numbers.

NVIM_TEST_PRINT_CDEF (U) (1): makes cimport print final lines which will be then passed to ffi.cdef. Used to debug errors ffi.cdef happens to throw sometimes.

NVIM_TEST_PRINT_SYSCALLS (U) (1): makes it print to stderr when syscall wrappers are called and what they returned. Used to debug code which makes unit tests be executed in separate processes.

NVIM_TEST_RUN_FAILING_TESTS (U) (1): makes itp run tests which are known to fail (marked by setting third argument to true).

LOG_DIR (FU) (S!): specifies where to seek for valgrind and ASAN log files.

NVIM_TEST_CORE_* (FU) (S): a set of environment variables which specify where to search for core files. Are supposed to be defined all at once.

NVIM_TEST_CORE_GLOB_DIRECTORY (FU) (S): directory where core files are located. May be .. This directory is then recursively searched for core files. Note: this variable must be defined for any of the following to have any effect.

NVIM_TEST_CORE_GLOB_RE (FU) (S): regular expression which must be matched by core files. E.g. /core[^/]*$. May be absent, in which case any file is considered to be matched.

NVIM_TEST_CORE_EXC_RE (FU) (S): regular expression which excludes certain directories from searching for core files inside. E.g. use ^/%.deps$ to not search inside /.deps. If absent, nothing is excluded.

NVIM_TEST_CORE_DB_CMD (FU) (S): command to get backtrace out of the debugger. E.g. gdb -n -batch -ex "thread apply all bt full" "$_NVIM_TEST_APP" -c "$_NVIM_TEST_CORE". Defaults to the example command. This debug command may use environment variables _NVIM_TEST_APP (path to application which is being debugged: normally either nvim or luajit) and _NVIM_TEST_CORE (core file to get backtrace from).

NVIM_TEST_CORE_RANDOM_SKIP (FU) (D): makes check_cores not check cores after approximately 90% of the tests. Should be used when finding cores is too hard for some reason. Normally (on OS X or when NVIM_TEST_CORE_GLOB_DIRECTORY is defined and this variable is not) cores are checked for after each test.

NVIM_TEST_RUN_TESTTEST (U) (1): allows running test/unit/testtest_spec.lua used to check how testing infrastructure works.

NVIM_TEST_TRACE_LEVEL (U) (N): specifies unit tests tracing level: 0 disables tracing (the fastest, but you get no data if tests crash and there was no core dump generated), 1 or empty/undefined leaves only C function cals and returns in the trace (faster then recording everything), 2 records all function calls, returns and lua source lines exuecuted.
