## Guide to the UI Tests
|
||||
|
||||
The UI tests are intended to capture the compiler's complete output,
|
||||
so that we can test all aspects of the presentation. They work by
|
||||
compiling a file (e.g., `ui/hello_world/main.rs`), capturing the output,
|
||||
and then applying some normalization (see below). This normalized
|
||||
result is then compared against reference files named
|
||||
`ui/hello_world/main.stderr` and `ui/hello_world/main.stdout`. If either of
|
||||
those files doesn't exist, the output must be empty. If the test run
|
||||
fails, we will print out the current output, but it is also saved in
|
||||
`build/<target-triple>/test/ui/hello_world/main.stdout` (this path is
|
||||
printed as part of the test failure mesage), so you can run `diff` and
|
||||
so forth.
|
||||
|
||||
### Editing and updating the reference files
|
||||
|
||||
If you have changed the compiler's output intentionally, or you are
|
||||
making a new test, you can use the script `ui/update-references.sh` to
|
||||
update the references. When you run the test framework, it will report
|
||||
various errors: in those errors is a command you can use to run the
|
||||
`ui/update-references.sh` script, which will then copy over the files
|
||||
from the build directory and use them as the new reference. You can
|
||||
also just run `ui/update-all-references.sh`. In both cases, you can run
|
||||
the script with `--help` to get a help message.
|
||||
|
||||
### Normalization
|
||||
|
||||
The normalization applied is aimed at eliminating output difference
|
||||
between platforms, mainly about filenames:
|
||||
|
||||
- the test directory is replaced with `$DIR`
|
||||
- all backslashes (`\`) are converted to forward slashes (`/`) (for Windows)
|
||||
- all CR LF newlines are converted to LF
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes these built-in normalizations are not enough. In such cases, you
|
||||
may provide custom normalization rules using the header commands, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
// normalize-stderr-32bit: "fn() (32 bits)" -> "fn() ($PTR bits)"
|
||||
// normalize-stderr-64bit: "fn() (64 bits)" -> "fn() ($PTR bits)"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This tells the test, on 32-bit platforms, whenever the compiler writes
|
||||
`fn() (32 bits)` to stderr, it should be normalized to read `fn() ($PTR bits)`
|
||||
instead. Similar for 64-bit.
|
||||
|
||||
The corresponding reference file will use the normalized output to test both
|
||||
32-bit and 64-bit platforms:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
|
||||
= note: source type: fn() ($PTR bits)
|
||||
= note: target type: u16 (16 bits)
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Please see `ui/transmute/main.rs` and `.stderr` for a concrete usage example.
|
||||
|
||||
Besides `normalize-stderr-32bit` and `-64bit`, one may use any target
|
||||
information or stage supported by `ignore-X` here as well (e.g.
|
||||
`normalize-stderr-windows`).
