Overview

Executing tests

We start a new VS Code instance each fixture directory in fixtures/build/ and others, which includes a TeX file for tests, and execute an appropriate test defined in build.test.ts while skipping other tests not related to the directory. For tests of building a LaTeX file, we try to build a LaTeX file in the directory. If a PDF file is not generated, the test fails. With this approach, we can debug the extension by opening a TeX file in the fixture directory if the test fails.

How tests executed

• runTest.ts starts a new VS Code instance each fixture directory and executes *.index.ts.
• *.index.ts runs all the tests defined in *.test.ts.
• Tests in *.test.ts are executed through runTestWithFixture.
• runTestWithFixture skip tests in *.test.ts if they are not related to the current fixture directory.
