provide test cases in non-TestML format #15

Closed rogpeppe closed 6 years ago

rogpeppe commented 6 years ago

I'd like to use the test cases here to test the Go YAML implementation (https://gopkg.in/yaml.v2) but the fact that they're formatted in the relatively obscure TestML data format makes them quite inaccessible (and I don't have the time to write a TestML parser in Go). Would it be possible to provide them in a more universally understood format, such as JSON, please?

rogpeppe commented 6 years ago

Ah, I'd missed the fact that the data is in the data branch of the repo, sorry.

Have you checked out the data branch? All test cases are available there with each data point in its own file. See also #14 about our versioning plans.

rogpeppe commented 6 years ago

@perlpunk thanks for the response. Are the primitives used in test.event documented anywhere?

perlpunk commented 6 years ago

The only documentation we have so far is in the README and the wiki: https://github.com/yaml/yaml-test-suite/wiki/Data-Point-Semantics

If you're on IRC, we would be glad if you would join us on Freenode IRC. Users of the test suite can help us make it better. We're in #yaml and #libyaml
