Adding tests
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
You can test shaping of a unicode sequence against a font like this:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ./hb-unicode-encode 41 42 43 627 | ../../util/hb-shape font.ttf
|
|
```
|
|
assuming an in-tree build. The 41 42 43 627 here is a sequence of
|
|
Unicode codepoints: U+0041,0042,0043,0627. When you are happy with
|
|
the shape results, you can use the `record-test.sh` script to add
|
|
this to the test suite. `record-test.sh` requires `pyftsubset` to
|
|
be installed. You can get `pyftsubset` by installing
|
|
FontTools from <https://github.com/behdad/fonttools>.
|
|
|
|
To use `record-test.sh`, just put it right before the `hb-shape` invocation:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ./hb-unicode-encode 41 42 43 627 | ./record-test.sh ../../util/hb-subset ../../util/hb-shape font.ttf
|
|
```
|
|
what this does is:
|
|
* Subset the font for the sequence of Unicode characters requested,
|
|
* Compare the `hb-shape` output of the original font versus the subset
|
|
font for the input sequence,
|
|
* If the outputs differ, perhaps it is because the font does not have
|
|
glyph names; it then compares the output of `hb-view` for both fonts.
|
|
* If the outputs differ, recording fails. Otherwise, it will move the
|
|
subset font file into `data/in-house/fonts` and name it after its
|
|
hash, and print out the test case input, which you can then redirect
|
|
to an existing or new test file in `data/in-house/tests` using `-o`,
|
|
e.g.:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ./hb-unicode-encode 41 42 43 627 | ./record-test.sh -o data/in-house/tests/test-name.tests ../../util/hb-subset ../../util/hb-shape font.ttf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you created a new test file, add it to `data/in-house/Makefile.sources`
|
|
so it is run. Check that `make check` does indeed run it, and that the
|
|
test passes. When everything looks good, `git add` the new font as well
|
|
as the new test file if you created any. You can see what new files are
|
|
there by running `git status data/in-house`. And commit!

*Note!* Please only add tests using Open Source fonts, preferably under
|
|
OFL or similar license.
