Vimwiki Tests

This directory contains a test framework used to automatically test/verify Vimwiki functionality. It is based on the following tools:

• vim-testbed
• Vader
• Vint

Resources

• Vim patches
• Example test cases:
  • vim-easy-align
  • vim-plug
  • ale
  • Other projects

Building Docker Image

To build the Docker image run docker build -t vimwiki from the Vimwiki repository root (same location as the Dockerfile).

Running Tests

Manual Steps

Starting in the test directory run this command:

docker run -it --rm -v $PWD/../:/testplugin -v $PWD/../test:/home vimwiki vim_7.4.1099 -u test/vimrc -i NONE

This will open a vim instance in the docker container and then all tests can be run with :Vader test/* or individual tests can be run.

Note: Substitute vim_7.4.1099 for any of the vim versions in the Dockerfile.

Automated Tests

The script in the test/ directory named run_test.sh can be used to automatically run all tests for all installed vim versions. The vim/nvim versions are parsed from the Dockerfile. This script will also run Vint for all plugin source files. For more information run ./run_tests.sh -h.

Known Issues

1. neovim v0.2.x does not work correctly with Vader output from the docker container. No test results are printed and an error message saying Vim: Error reading input, exiting...
   • Probably need to look into this more and determine if the issue is Vader, Neovim, or Docker.
