Tomboy + Mago Testing

[Michael Fletcher-3]

Hello

For your information, i'm working on a series of automatic tests of Tomboy within the Ubuntu Mago project.

From http://mago.ubuntu.com/ ...
"Mago is a desktop testing initiative, built on top of LDTP (http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/), that aims to have a set of processes and code to make writing automated test scripts easier and more reusable. Although we started this effort as an Ubuntu project it works for vanilla GNOME in most of the cases. "

Great news, Michael!  Tomboy could use these sorts of tests, and
presumably since they're built on LDTP, they are also a good test of
our a11y support.

Do the tests go in Tomboy git or in Mago itself?

Thanks,
Sandy

For sure.  Most of its seemed fine but I have found a problem with the panel applet.  You can invoke the "menu" action on the panel but not the "activate" action.  I though I would try writing a simple mono panel applet to see if the problem is on Tomboy or Mono.  (menu=right-click, activate=left-click).

For now the tests end up in Mago's (bzr branch lp:mago).  In the long term I think the idea would be to package up the tests separately from mago test runner.  Right now there are only a few apps with test suites.

Okay, feel free to file bugs for anything that doesn't seem to work
right, I do care about a11y (it's my day job) and testing, but don't
always catch issues in Tomboy.

Once this stuff is in Mago, we should add something on the Tomboy wiki
helping people get started using/expanding the tests.

Okay, I'm cool keeping stuff in Tomboy git if that ends up being more
convenient, just fyi.
