Tests for PM code?

this might be of general interest, so I'm not posting it in the Inner Scriptorium

I think I have identified the code which renders markup in the monastery ParseLinksInContent

But ...

Where are the tests?
Are there special node types used to test code nodes?
How are pmdev supposed to test new code?

Cheers Rolf

Teasing out the code from nodes into (testable) subroutines would be great. There are no tests, and you're supposed to write your code without bugs. And be around when it goes live to do some emergency fixes.	[reply]

Well htmlcode nodes are essentially functions, the one I mentioned calls other htmlcode functions. It should be feasable to write test nodes for those nodes. Is it possible to use/install test modules? I can also see obscure pages which were used by demerphq and or jdporter to mock important features. There are also mentions of a "test server" and then other mentions that it is down. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]

Yes, there was a test instance run by me, but that has fallen prey to server moves. I should get the documentation together on how to run a local instance of the engine...	[reply]

How are pmdev supposed to test new code? Mocking ingenuity? You mock up $USER/$VARS... everything that needs it I think pmdev need to see jdporter's treehouse	[reply]
