I care a lot about being able to automatically check _any_ property about my
2022-06-15 06:47:49 +01:00
program before it ever runs. However, some things don't have tests yet, either
because I don't know how to test them or because I've been lazy. I'll at least
record those here.

* Initializing settings:
2023-06-08 09:18:34 +01:00
- delete app settings, start with a filename; window opens with cursor at top of file
- run with absolute file path; quit; restart; window opens in same position+dimensions
- run with relative file path; quit; switch to new directory; restart without a filename; window opens running the same file in same position+dimensions
- run with a filename on commandline, scroll around, quit; restart without a filename; window opens in same position+dimensions
- run with a filename on commandline, scroll around, quit; restart with same filename; window opens in same position+dimensions
2023-06-08 09:02:54 +01:00
- run with a filename on commandline, scroll around, quit; restart with new filename; window opens new filename with cursor up top
2023-06-08 09:18:34 +01:00
- run editor, scroll around, move cursor to end of some line, quit; restart with new filename; window opens in same position+dimensions

* How the screen looks. Our tests use a level of indirection to check text and
graphics printed to screen, but not the precise pixels they translate to.
- where exactly the cursor is drawn to highlight a given character

- analogously, how a shape precisely looks as you draw it

### Other compromises
2022-06-14 23:14:08 +01:00
Lua is dynamically typed. Tests can't patch over lack of type-checking.
* All strings are UTF-8. Bytes within them are not characters. I try to label
2022-06-20 16:24:56 +01:00
byte offsets with the suffix `_offset` , and character positions as `_pos` .
2023-05-06 16:54:29 +01:00
For example, `string.sub` should never use a `_pos` , only an `_offset` .
2022-06-21 15:20:25 +01:00
* Some ADT/interface support would be helpful in keeping per-line state in
sync. Any change to line data should clear line `fragments` and
`screen_line_starting_pos` .

* Some inputs get processed in love.textinput and some in love.keypressed.
Several bugs have arisen due to destructive interference between the two for
some key chord. I wish I could guarantee that the two sets are disjoint. But
perhaps I'm not thinking about this right.

* Like any high-level language, it's easy to accidentally alias two non-scalar
variables. I wish there was a way to require copy when assigning.

2023-03-29 06:00:43 +01:00
* I wish I could require pixel coordinates to be integers. The editor
defensively converts input margins to integers.

* My test harness automatically runs `test_*` methods -- but only at the
top-level. I wish there was a way to raise warnings if someone defines such
a function inside a dict somewhere.
