`QStringList` has two advantages over `std::vector<QString>` for settings: 1. Cheap to copy (COW). Setting values need to be copied when they're accessed, because they're behind a mutex. 2. Better helper functions (see changes). Co-authored-by: pajlada <rasmus.karlsson@pajlada.com> Reviewed-by: Mm2PL <mm2pl+gh@kotmisia.pl>
To run tests, you'll first need to enable the test flag in cmake. You can do this by adding the -DBUILD_TESTS=On flag to your cmake setup call. (e.g. mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DBUILD_TESTS=On ..)
After you've built Chatterino, you can now run the tests with ctest or by manually running the newly created chatterino-test executable
Pre-requisites to running tests
-
Download & run httpbox
We expect this to be listening to port 9051, you can launch it like this:
httpbox --port 9051 -
Download & run twitch-pubsub-server-test
We expect this to be listening to port 9050, you can launch it like this:twitch-pubsub-server-test 127.0.0.1:9050
Alternatively, you can run the docker-compose defined in this file: docker compose up before you run the tests.
Modifying message building
If you make a change that has to do with message building, there's a big chance that some of the snapshot tests will fail. If this happens, you might want to:
- Set the
UPDATE_SNAPSHOTSboolean at the top of the IrcMessageHandler.cpp test file totrue - Re-run the tests (this will update the snapshots to match your new reality)
- Reset
UPDATE_SNAPSHOTStofalseagain - Then run the tests a final time.
Once this is done, you should take a look at the changes made to the snapshot json files to ensure that it looks correct.
