What to report

• for each single item
  • OK or
    • crashes
    • inconsistent behaviour
    • actions that do not work as expected
• for each section
  • How much time did it take you to perform the tests?

Preparation

1. fresh Padre installation
2. check whether you are running the to-be-released Padre version by opening the "About" box

Perl 5 scripts

1. open a Perl script
2. run it by hitting F5
3. change to the other output variant (external window or internal pane)
4. run it by hitting Shift-F5
5. enable syntax checks
6. introduce a syntax error and inspect resulting output
7. click on the syntax error to jump to the position of the error
8. enable autocomplete at "Tools"->"Preferences"->"Autocomplete"
9. start typing a word which is already in the file (maybe "warn" from "warnings")
10. select a suggestion and confirm it
11. enable bracket autocomplete at "Tools"->"Preferences"->"Behavior"
12. type ( [ { " ' - each of them should get its closing part automatically

Perl 5 modules

1. open a large Perl module from the Padre source
2. enable the function list
3. double-click on a function name to jump to its location in the file
4. enable the outline view
5. double-click on a method name to jump to its location in the file

Perl projects

1. open the project browser
2. browse the directories of the Padre project
3. open a file from the project
4. save it under another name
5. delete the newly created file
6. load file using "Search" -> "Open Resource ..."

Text files

1. "File" -> "New"
2. save it as file.txt
3. save it as file
4. use "Edit" -> "Go To ..." to jump to a given line
5. use "Edit" -> "Go To ..." to jump to a given character position

Saving perl file without extension forgets its mime-type (see #1107)

1. "File" -> "New"
2. type in

   #!/usr/bin/perl
   use strict;
   use warnings;
   

3. save it as file
4. Check if the mime-type (3rd box on the status bar) says "Perl 5"
5. Close the file
6. Open The file using "File" -> "Open"
7. Check if the mime-type (3rd box on the status bar) says "Perl 5"
8. Open The file using "File" -> "Save As"
9. save it as file2
10. Check if the mime-type (3rd box on the status bar) says "Perl 5"

Perl distributions and templates and running

1. create a new Perl 5 distribution: "File" -> "New" -> "Perl Distribution ..."
2. create a "hello, world" style Perl 5 module: "File" -> "New" -> "Perl 5 Module"
3. create a test for the module: "File" -> "New" -> "Perl 5 Test"
4. use "File" -> "Save Intuition" to save the module
5. run the test: "Run" -> "Run Tests"
6. run the test: "Run" -> "Run and Build Tests"
7. create a new Perl 5 script that uses the module: "File" -> "New" -> "Perl 5 Script"
8. run it: "Run" -> "Run Script"
9. run it: "Run" -> "Run Script (Debug Info)"
10. add an infinite loop the the script
11. run the script and abort it using F6

Sessions

1. cycle through the files using the keyboard: Ctrl-PageUp? and Ctrl-PageDown?
2. save the session
3. close one tab
4. go to "File" -> "Recent Files" and re-open the file
5. close all tabs
6. load the session that you saved before

Padre server

1. start Padre
2. "Tools" -> "Preferences": enable "Open Files in existing Padre"
3. restart Padre
4. type padre SOME_FILE in the command line (should open in the same instance of Padre)
5. "Tools" -> "Preferences": disable "Open Files in existing Padre"
6. restart Padre
7. type padre SOME_FILE in the command line (should start a new instance of Padre)
