Bug 37432 – add basic mock unit tests to new-run-webkit-tests

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Dirk Pranke]

This is a CL to add some very minimal unit tests to new-run-webkit-tests. This should be enough to catch out-and-out syntax errors and so forth.

+def real_main(options, args, print_results=True):

This is confusing.  Python tries to trick you into having several levels of main.

+try:
+    d = os.path.dirname(__file__)
+except NameError:
+    d = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])
+
+sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(os.path.join(d, '../thirdparty')))

What is this?  We shouldn't be screwing around with sys.path.

+from run_webkit_tests import *

This should be:

from webkitpy.layout_test.run_webkit_tests import real_main, parse_args

Importing * make code very difficult to maintain because it imports all the imports transitively.

+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    unittest.main()

We usually skip this part.  You can run tests individually from test-webkitpy anyway.

Also, wil this test spawn off apache and the websocket server?  It might be a better approach to start testing from the "leaves" up instead of from main down.

No. This test suite (so far) only tests the "test" port, which contains no compiled code and stubs out all of the real work.

Agreed. I need to do this temporarily. I've filed bug 37464 to clean this up and am doing that in a separate CL just to make it easy to back out if I've forgotten some downstream reference to this file (I don't think there are any, but just to be sure ...)

Removed. It looks like y'all have cleaned up the import statements enough so that simply adding WebKitTools/Scripts to PYTHONPATH will allow me to run this file directly.

True. I was writing this in a hurry; it's removed now.

You might; I don't. This is a pretty standard convention for Python test files and I'm inclined to keep it.

+ import run_webkit_tests

Our convention is to use absolute imports from webkitpy.  We still have a bunch of places where we need to clean this up, so it's not a big deal.  Yay tests!

Quite correct. Fixed prior to landing the patch.
