Hello,

I have created a few files to present some idea about test repository for ConTeXt.

Test files should answer several questions, among others: - Do test documents compile? - Do they generate correct result (in comparison to some older distribution)?

The second problem is slightly more complex since it requires parallel installations of ConTeXt and bitmap comparisons, but the first part should be relatively easy to implement. The idea is to check if formats can be generated at all, do some basic tests, do some extensive tests by trying to load all the possible fonts that are supposed to be part of dstribution (font names change over time, ...),

well, just checking if something runs is already a step (sanjoy has done some comparison stuff already)

See http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals/test/compile (or README one folder up). The idea is to run mtxrun --script test inside that folder. It doesn't work yet and I think that I got it wrong the first time (a simple lua table is not enough to offer enough flexibility to do the testing - I would rather put a simple lua script into each folder, not only table, using some common functions defined in "master" file mtx-test.lua), but just to start some brainstorming. One thing that would be nice to add would be some tagging, so that one could run only some tests like font tests (or skip the font tests) for example ...

looks interesting maybe you can best run in batch mode and afterwards parse the log for "error" what do you expect from me? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
