islandora/tests

OVERVIEW

---

You can define your own configurations specific to your environment by copying default.test_config.ini to test_config.ini, making your changes in the copied file. These test need write access to the system's $FEDORA_HOME/server/config directory as well as the filter-drupal.xml file.

DATASTREAM VALIDATION TESTS

---

The datastream validator included in the Islandora testing suite is able to generate tests procedurally based on the files in the folder 'fixtures/datastream_validator_files'. By default, this folder is empty. The unit tests for the validator pull the name of the file (before the extension) and use that to instantiate the correct ______DatastreamValidator class to test that file against (e.g. Image.jpg spins up an instance of the ImageDatastreamValidator class and checks the results).

You can test against multiple different encodings of the same filetype by giving each file a different set of extensions, e.g. MP3.vbr.mp3 and MP3.sbr.mp3 both test against the MP3 datastream validator, even though both are encoded differently.

For classes that require the third parameter (e.g. the TextDatastreamValidator), place an additional name.extension.ini file in the datastream_validator_files folder (e.g. the existing Text.txt in that folder is paired with Text.txt.ini). This .ini file should be structured like a PHP .ini file (e.g. according to the format used by http://http://ca1.php.net/parse_ini_file).The generated test will parse the .ini file as an array and pass it on to the third parameter.
