Tests
=====
This directory contains the test cases for AssemblyScript's parser and compiler. A test case
consists of:
* A test file that is parsed or compiled (.ts)
* One or multiple automatically generated fixtures generated from the source file
Creating a test:
* Run `npm run clean` to make sure that the sources are tested instead of the distribution
* Create a new test file (.ts) within the respective directory (see below) that contains your test code
* Follow the instructions below to generate the first fixture(s)
* Make sure the fixture(s) contain exactly what you'd expect
Updating a test:
* Run `npm run clean` to make sure that the sources are tested instead of the distribution
* Make changes to the respective test file (.ts)
* Follow the instructions below to update the fixture(s)
* Make sure the fixture(s) contain exactly what you'd expect

Parser Parser
------ ------
Tests consist of a test case that is first parsed and then serialized again. The output is then compared to its respective fixture. Directory: [tests/parser](./parser)
The test file is parsed while warnings and errors are recorded and re-serialized to a new source
afterwards. The new source with warnings and errors appended as comments is compared to the fixture.
Running all tests:
``` ```
$> npm run test:parser [case name] $> npm run test:parser
``` ```
To recreate the fixtures: Running a specific test only:
```
$> npm run test:parser -- testNameWithoutTs
```
To (re-)create all fixtures:
``` ```
$>npm run test:parser -- --create $>npm run test:parser -- --create
``` ```
Note that the parser suite currently can't recreate just a specific fixture.
Compiler Compiler
-------- --------
Tests consist of a test case that is compiled to a module, validated, interpreted, converted to text format and then compared to its respective fixture. General directory: [tests/compiler](./compiler)
Standard library directory: [tests/compiler/std](./compiler/std)
The source file is parsed and compiled to a module, validated, interpreted and the resulting module
converted to WebAsssembly text format.
The text format output is compared to its fixture and the module interpreted in a WebAssembly VM. To
assert for runtime conditions, the `assert` builtin can be used. Note that tree-shaking is enabled
and it might be necessary to export entry points.
Additional fixtures for the optimized module etc. are generated as well but are used for visual
confirmation only.
Running all tests:
``` ```
$> npm run test:compiler [case name] $> npm run test:compiler
``` ```
To recreate the fixtures: Running a specific test only:
``` ```
$>npm run test:compiler -- --create $> npm run test:compiler -- testNameWithoutTs
``` ```
To (re-)create all fixtures:
```
$> npm run test:compiler -- --create
```
To (re-)create a specific fixture only:
```
$> npm run test:compiler -- testNameWithoutTs --create
```
Other
-----
Tests in other directories are not run automatically and do not need to be updated. Most of them
are legacy tests.
