Prepare for the testing

• check whether you are running the to-be-released Padre version by opening the "About" box

If you'd like to test the current development version of Padre then please check it out as

svn co http://svn.perlide.org/padre/trunk/Padre

and then run it from there.

If you'd like to test the release branch then please check out the release branch:

svn co http://svn.perlide.org/padre/branches/Padre-0.84/

Do the regular things:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test

and then launch padre using

perl -Ilib script/padre

Other possibility is to actually install the release candidate using

make install

and then launch by just typing

padre

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?

Test Cases

Perl 5 scripts

1. open a Perl script (using Ctrl-o or File/Open?)
2. run it by hitting F5
3. change to the other output variant (external window or internal pane) (Tools/Preferences/Run? Parameters/Use? external window for execution)
4. run it by hitting Shift-F5
5. enable syntax checks (View/Show? Syntax Check)
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. hit Ctrl-Space, 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

Who	SVN revision	Padre version	system	status
szabgab	r14034	v0.84	Ubuntu 10.10	fail (crash) #1167 (also: Shift-F5 does not do anything)

Perl 5 modules

1. open a large Perl module from the Padre source
2. enable "View"->"Show Functions"
3. double-click on a function name to jump to its location in the file
   • the text cursor should be at the corresponding function in the file
4. enable "View"->"Show Outline"
5. double-click on a method name to jump to its location in the file
   • the text cursor should be at the corresponding location in the file

Text files

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

Saving perl file without extension needs to remember its mime-type

See #1107, #849

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"

1. Repeat the above but this time the content of the file should be

   #!/usr/bin/env perl
   
   print 42;
   

1. A third time in which case the content should be

   #!/usr/local/bin/perl
   
   print "ok";
   

Perl distributions and templates and running

1. create a new Perl 5 distribution: "File" -> "New" -> "Perl Distribution ..."
2. create an additional "hello, world" style Perl 5 module in the same namespace: "File" -> "New" -> "Perl 5 Module"
3. use "File" -> "Save Intuition" to save the module
4. create a test for the module: "File" -> "New" -> "Perl 5 Test"
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

see #633

TODO: For further description see ​http://mail.perlide.org/pipermail/padre-dev/2011-February/002433.html and expand this test-case

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 ( #1143, #1148 )
5. close all tabs
6. load the session that you saved before

Word Wrap

View -> Word-Wrap. by enabling word wrap, padre wont let you expand the code block horizontally, if you'll try it will go to the next line.

Fresh Padre Installation

TODO: we should add some tests to check if a fresh Padre installation (or an upgrade) works
