Tests for recurrence and querystring

[janga1997]

I would like to write the tests for the patterns recurrence and querystring, as a part of my application to gsoc this year. I'm assuming that they are required .

I would love to get some tips on how to proceed, because I couldn't find proper documentation on writing tests.

@janga1997 Thanks for showing interest in Plone foundation for writing tests. But I will suggest you should come with some more better ideas than just writing tests as the GSOC project. Writing tests may include one part of the project.

@prakharjoshi i am not proposing writing tests as the project. I want to write tests as part of the proposal to get some PRs in. I am applying to a project which relates to patterns,.

Hi @janga1997!

All tests are in the mockup/tests folder. The filename structure is pattern-[pattern name]-test.js.

You should be able to inspect the current set of tests to give you ideas on how to write tests for recurrence.

A simple test might look like this:

/* global define, describe, beforeEach, afterEach, it */
define([
  'expect',
  'jquery',
  'sinon',
  'pat-registry',
  'mockup-patterns-recurrence',
  'mockup-patterns-select2'
], function(expect, $, sinon, registry, Recurrence) {
  'use strict';

  window.mocha.setup('bdd');
  $.fx.off = true;

  describe('Recurrence', function() {

    beforeEach(function() {
      this.$el = $('<div><input class="pat-recurrence" /></div>');
      this.clock = sinon.useFakeTimers(new Date(2016,12,23,15,30).getTime());
    });

    afterEach(function() {
      $('body').empty();
      this.clock.restore();
    });

    it('should add recurrence-widget class', function() {
      var self = this;
      expect($('.pat-recurrence', self.$el).hasClass('recurrence-widget')).to.equal(true);
   });
});
