A few of the tests connected to the paint signal but never
disconnected it. Most of these handlers had a call to g_main_quit in
them which meant that it could sometimes cause subsequent tests to
exit after the first frame is painted. Most of the tests don't
validate any of the results until after a couple of frames have been
rendered so this ended up skipping out the test entirely.
To workaround this the test setup function now disconnects all
handlers for the paint signal on the default stage before the test is
run.
* tests/conform/test-conform-common.c
* tests/conform/test-pick.c:
Instead of using clutter_stage_new /clutter_actor_destroy as a way to
avoid cascading side effects between unit tests, due to left over
actors, we now destroy all children of the default stage between
tests instead.
* tests/conform/wrapper.sh:
Adds a convenience note about how to run valgrind for an individual
unit test
framework
* configure.ac:
* tests/*:
The tests have been reorganised into different categories: conformance,
interactive and micro benchmarks.
- conformance tests can be run as part of automated tests
- interactive tests are basically all the existing tests
- micro benchmarks focus on a single performance metric
I converted the timeline tests to conformance tests and also added some
tests from Neil Roberts and Ebassi.
Note: currently only the conformance tests use the glib test APIs,
though the micro benchmarks should too.
The other change is to make the unit tests link into monolithic binaries
which makes the build time for unit tests considerably faster. To deal
with the extra complexity this adds to debugging individual tests I
have added some sugar to the makefiles so all the tests can be run
directly via a symlink and when an individual test is run this way,
then a note is printed to the terminal explaining exactly how that test
may be debugged using GDB.
There is a convenience make rule: 'make test-report', that will run all
the conformance tests and hopefully even open the results in your web
browser. It skips some of the slower timeline tests, but you can run
those using 'make full-report'
