# Lexer tests
|
|
|
|
The tests in this directory feed a known input `testdata/<name>.actual` into the parser for `<name>` and check
|
|
that its output matches `<name>.exported`.
|
|
|
|
## Running the tests
|
|
|
|
Run the tests as normal:
|
|
```go
|
|
go test ./lexers
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Update existing tests
|
|
When you add a new test data file (`*.actual`), you need to regenerate all tests. That's how Chroma creates the `*.expected` test file based on the corresponding lexer.
|
|
|
|
To regenerate all tests, type in your terminal:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
RECORD=true go test ./lexers
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This first sets the `RECORD` environment variable to `true`. Then it runs `go test` on the `./lexers` directory of the Chroma project.
|
|
|
|
(That environment variable tells Chroma it needs to output test data. After running `go test ./lexers` you can remove or reset that variable.)
|
|
|
|
### Windows users
|
|
Windows users will find that the `RECORD=true go test ./lexers` command fails in both the standard command prompt terminal and in PowerShell.
|
|
|
|
Instead we have to perform both steps separately:
|
|
|
|
- Set the `RECORD` environment variable to `true`.
|
|
+ In the regular command prompt window, the `set` command sets an environment variable for the current session: `set RECORD=true`. See [this page](https://superuser.com/questions/212150/how-to-set-env-variable-in-windows-cmd-line) for more.
|
|
+ In PowerShell, you can use the `$env:RECORD = 'true'` command for that. See [this article](https://mcpmag.com/articles/2019/03/28/environment-variables-in-powershell.aspx) for more.
|
|
+ You can also make a persistent environment variable by hand in the Windows computer settings. See [this article](https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm) for how.
|
|
- When the environment variable is set, run `go tests ./lexers`.
|
|
|
|
Chroma will now regenerate the test files and print its results to the console window.
