Description Björn Michaelsen 2011-07-28 08:23:02 UTC
=== Make existing tests work ===

'''Background:''' A lot of existing CppUnit tests (they are usually placed in test or qa subdir) are currently broken because they use stuff from (already removed) module testshl2. The goal is to change them to CppUnit test plugins and use cppunittester for running them. Use http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/libs-gui/commit/?id=53cb376d74b108d783f4a40c8e23ce54b5f4fd90 as an example. Use [http://opengrok.go-oo.org/search?q=testshl&project=artwork&project=base&project=bootstrap&project=calc&project=components&project=extensions&project=extras&project=filters&project=help&project=impress&project=libs-core&project=libs-extern&project=libs-extern-sys&project=libs-gui&project=postprocess&project=sdk&project=testing&project=ure&project=writer&defs=&refs=&path=&hist= this link] to see the broken tests.

'''Skills: ''' build, (maybe) CppUnit
Comment 1 Björn Michaelsen 2011-11-15 15:30:23 UTC
@stephan: Isnt this resolved by now?
Comment 2 Stephan Bergmann 2011-11-15 23:32:08 UTC
no, there's still a number of places that mention "testshl"
Comment 3 Caolán McNamara 2011-11-16 02:56:17 UTC
See http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?q=testshl&project=core for the current list of uses of the archaic and removed testshl. Not too many of them left.

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/libs-gui/commit/?id=53cb376d74b108d783f4a40c8e23ce54b5f4fd90 can still serve as a template for conversion

Comment 11 Björn Michaelsen 2013-10-04 18:47:49 UTC
adding LibreOffice developer list as CC to unresolved EasyHacks for better visibility.

see e.g. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/minutes-of-ESC-call-td4076214.html for details
Comment 12 Tobias Madl 2014-09-02 11:57:50 UTC
He i'd like to work on this bug. Its the first time I'm bug fixing on libre office, feel free to give me advices or suggestions :).
Comment 13 Tobias Madl 2014-09-02 13:52:54 UTC
Got a short question, one of the files doesn't have a makefile (test_comtools.cxx), was this on purpose or should i write one?
Comment 14 Caolán McNamara 2014-09-04 07:47:48 UTC
test_comtools.cxx looks like a "forgotten" test. I see it is windows only, so can only be tested under windows and not the other platforms.

If you're in a position where you can try fixing the test then sure go for it. 
t might turn out that the test doesn't work and that it is not worth fixing, that's a good result too, in which case submitting a patch to delete the broken and not-worth-fixing test is good too.

Comment 18 Tobias Madl 2014-09-26 07:16:45 UTC
So for further information, i now removed all occurrence of testshl. But i still can't close the ticket, because on one hand there's the /sal/qa/systools/test_comtools.cxx test, which only runs under windows, so sb with a windows maschine has to fix this. (Suggestion to change the ticket to a windows dependency ticket). On the other hand theres the /unoxml/test/domtest.cxx test, which is running at the moment, but still not with all tests in it. The problem, described in this ticket: Bug 84237 , has to be solved befor this tests can be used, or the tests have to be removed.

You could still do that yourself, put the patch to gerrit (with -2 code review so someone does not push it too soon) and ask on IRC to run buildbot on it. Maybe it would work :)

Comment 22 Francesco Gradi 2017-11-24 12:34:52 UTC
Hi there, i've got a Windows machine so i'd like to start working on this issue.
Not sure if i can handle it, though. So i'm asking for a bit of initial help:

I see that first part of the problem is the presence of "testshl" in the code (i located it in /core/sal/qa/systools/test_comtools.cxx), but as Tobias said, there is also another issue in /unoxml/test/domtest.cxx . 
So basically the solution of this consists in removing testshl and doing what in the other file?

Sorry for all this questions, i'm still new at this and i'd like to learn more and more on how all of this works.

Thanks to all who will spend a few time helping! :)
Comment 23 Andrés Maldonado 2019-02-21 14:31:43 UTC
Hello,

As my first contribution to LibreOffice core, I made a patch for this bug. You can find it at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/68156/

I made a build on Windows with this command:
```
CPPUNIT_TEST_NAME="test_comtools::test_COMReference" /opt/lo/bin/make CppunitTest_sal_comtools
```

There were no errors. Also, I checked `workdir/CppunitTest/sal_comtools.test.log` and all tests passed.
