All the tests are compiled +into a single binary named jsapi-tests. They all run in a single process. + +To run the tests: + + cd $OBJDIR/dist/bin + ./jsapi-tests + +To run the tests in a debugger: + + cd $OBJDIR/dist/bin + gdb ./jsapi-tests + + +## Creating new tests + +1. You can either add to an existing test*.cpp file or make a new one. + Copy an existing test and replace the body with your test code. + The test harness provides `cx`, `rt`, and `global` for your use. + +2. If you made a new .cpp file, add it to the UNIFIED_SOURCES list + in moz.build. + + +## Writing test code + +Here is a sample test: + + #include "tests.h" + + BEGIN_TEST(testIntString_bug515273) + { + RootedValue v(cx); + + EVAL("'42';", &v); + JSString *str = v.toString(); + CHECK(JS_StringHasBeenInterned(cx, str)); + CHECK(JS_FlatStringEqualsAscii(JS_ASSERT_STRING_IS_FLAT(str), "42")); + return true; + } + END_TEST(testIntString_bug515273) + +The BEGIN_TEST and END_TEST macros bracket each test. By convention, the test +name is <testFilename>_<detail>. (The above test is in testIntString.cpp.) + +The curly braces are required. This block is the body of a C++ member function +that returns bool. The test harness calls this member function +automatically. If the function returns true, the test passes. False, it fails. + +JSAPI tests often need extra global C/C++ code: a JSClass, a getter or setter +function, a resolve hook. Put these before the BEGIN_TEST macro. + +The body of the test can use these member variables and macros, defined in +tests.h: + + JSRuntime *rt; + JSContext *cx; + JSObject *global; + + The test framework creates these fresh for each test. The default + environment has reasonable default settings, including + JSOPTION_VAROBJFIX, JSOPTION_JIT, a global object of a class with + JSCLASS_GLOBAL_FLAGS, and an error reporter that prints to stderr. + See also "Custom test setup" below. + + EXEC(const char *code); + + Execute some JS code in global scope, using JS::Evaluate. Return + false if that fails. (This means that if the code throws an uncaught JS + exception, the test fails.) + + EVAL(const char *code, jsval *vp); + + Same as EXEC, but store the result value in *vp. + + CHECK(bool cond); + + If the condition is not true, print an error message and return false, + failing the test. + + CHECK_SAME(jsval a, jsval b); + + If a and b are different values, print an error message and return + false, failing the test. + + This is like CHECK(sameValue(a, b)) but with a more detailed error + message on failure. See sameValue below. + + CHECK_EQUAL(const T &a, const U &b); + + CHECK(a == b), but with a more detailed error message. + + CHECK_NULL(const T *ptr); + + CHECK(ptr == nullptr), but with a more detailed error message. + + (This is here because CHECK_EQUAL(ptr, nullptr) fails to compile on GCC + 2.5 and before.) + + + bool knownFail; + + Set this to true if your test is known to fail. The test runner will + print a TEST-KNOWN-FAIL line rather than a TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL + line. This way you can check in a test illustrating a bug ahead of the + fix. + + If your test actually crashes the process or triggers an assertion, + this of course will not help, so you should add something like + + knownFail = true; // see bug 123456 + return false; // the code below crashes! + + as the first two lines of the test. + + bool isNegativeZero(jsval v); + bool isNaN(jsval v); + + Self-explanatory. + + bool sameValue(jsval v1, jsval v2); + + True if v1 and v2 are the same value according to the ES5 SameValue() + function, to wit: + + SameValue(NaN, NaN) is true. + SameValue(-0, 0) is false. + Otherwise SameValue(a, b) iff a === b. + + +## Custom test setup + +Before executing each test, the test framework calls the tests' init() member +function, which populates the rt, cx, and global member variables. + +A test can customize the test setup process by overloading virtual member +functions, like this: + + const JSClass globalClassWithResolve = { ... }; + + BEGIN_TEST(testGlobalResolveHook) + { + RootedValue v; + EVAL("v", v.address()); + CHECK_SAME(v, JSVAL_VOID); + return true; + } + + // Other class members can go here. + + // This one overloads a base-class method. + virtual JSClass *getGlobalJSClass() { + return &globalClassWithResolve; + } + END_TEST(testGlobalResolveHook) + +The overloadable member functions are: + + virtual bool init(); + virtual void uninit(); + virtual JSRuntime * createRuntime(); + virtual JSContext * createContext(); + virtual JSClass * getGlobalClass(); + virtual JSObject * createGlobal(); + |
