LibreOffice uses a python framework called UITest to test its UI. see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/UITests However, some UI tests has been written for testing other stuff not related to the UI, like simulating user's action on a document ( undo, redo, delete, type, etc ) For this kind of tests, it's desirable to use C++ CppunitTest for two reasons 1. It's faster 2. it runs on all platforms ( UITests only run in gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil in Jenkins ) The idea of this easyhack is to convert the UI tests not calling any UI dialog to CppunitTest. The list of tests that can be converted is here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UiTestsToCppUnittests Some examples of Writer tests moved to CppunitTest: - https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ab623953b92d82d615bd2af6a9369915fe6fb7a8 - https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=4a33c86a5b44184a3ed34398cd795a9d42ac1a72 - https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=bf16e836dd7094cb5679042bbd49cb8b49c869d2 Some examples of Calc tests moved to CppunitTest: - https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=55a97625c56d4b1bf6948628559f7e63d01d8333 - https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=2af67c35d283abefe6030a5b90b831b0b797dd62 - https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=056ba01ee95db5dfd7df362e72bb418893c4c530 of course, you don't need to run 'make' everything you want to test your code. You can use 'make CppunitTest_sw_uiwriter' or 'make CppunitTest_sc_uicalc' or even faster make CppunitTest_sw_uiwriter CPPUNIT_TEST_NAME="<test_name>". eg: make CppunitTest_sw_uiwriter CPPUNIT_TEST_NAME="testTdf130746::TestBody"
