* Slack Import unit tests (for some functions). Covers the completely self contained functions in the Slack Importer that are straightforward to unit test. JSON processing functions are not yet unit tested. * Unit tests for Slack Import JSON parsing. This tests the 3 functions for parsing JSON, using a sample set of Slack data for posts, channels, and users.
Testing Text Processing
The text processing tests located in the doc/developer/tests folder are designed for use with the /loadtest url command. This command posts the raw contents of a specified .md file in the doc/developer/test folder into Mattermost.
Turning on /loadtest
Access the System Console from the Main Menu. Under Service Settings make sure that Enable Testing is set to true, then click Save. You may also change this setting from config.json by setting ”EnableTesting”: true. Changing this setting requires a server restart to take effect.
Running the Tests
In the text input box in Mattermost, type: /loadtest url [file-name-in-testing-folder].md. Some examples:
/loadtest url test-emoticons.md
/loadtest url test-links.md
Notes:
- If a test has prerequisites, make sure your Mattermost setup meets the requirements described at the top of the test file.
- Some tests are over 4000 characters in length and will render across multiple posts.
Manual Testing
It is possible to manually test specific sections of any test, instead of using the /loadtest command. Do this by clicking Raw in the header for the file when it’s open in GitHub, then copy and paste any section into Mattermost to post it. Manual testing only supports sections of 4000 characters or less per post.
