This code was added as part of the Django 1.10 migration to make our
tests work with both Django 1.8 and 1.10. Now that we're on 1.10,
it's no longer required.
Like many rare-case code with new tests, it turns out that the logic
for handling null characters in our Zephyr postgres query escaping
never worked, in multiple ways. First, it always changed the second
character in s, not the current one being inspected, and second, the
value it replaced it with was no the correct postgres escape of the
null byte. We fix this and add tests.
This completes the effort to get zerver/views/messages.py to 100%
test coverage.
Fixes#1006.
This adds an assertion, when `test-backend` is run with `--coverage`,
that we have 100% test coverage on a list of files that we expect to.
There's a whitelist/blacklist, managed in tools/test-backend.
Fixes#3363.
This helps make the Zulip development environment somewhat more robust
to new contributors, since it will give them a nice warning if they
try running any of our development tools outside the Zulip virtualenv.
Fixes#3468.
We now instrument URL coverage whenever you run the back end tests,
and if you run the full suite and fail to test all endpoints, we
exit with a non-zero exit code and report failures to you.
If you are running just a subset of the test suite, you'll still
be able to see var/url_coverage.txt, which has some useful info.
With some tweaks to the output from tabbott.
Fixes#1441.
These are not particularly interesting to measure test coverage for,
since migrations are not run as the part of the test suite by
construction, and management commands aren't being tested by this test
suite.
Previously, running `tools/test-backend analytics/` (or any other test suite
name ending with a '/') would give a cryptic error about modules not
importing properly. This commit rstrip's the trailing slash from test suite
names given on the command line.
Previously, the generate-fixtures shell script by called into Django
multiple times in order to check whether the database was in a
reasonable state. Since there's a lot of overhead to starting up
Django, this resulted in `test-backend` and `test-js-with-casper`
being quite slow to run a single small test (2.8s or so) even on my
very fast laptop.
We fix this is by moving the checks into a new Python library, so that
we can avoid paying the Django startup overhead 3 times unnecessarily.
The result saves about 1.2s (~40%) from the time required to run a
single backend test.
Fixes#1221.
