It should contain: + +- A modeline setting the 'filetype' and any other option values. + This must work like a comment for FILETYPE. E.g. for vim: + " vim: set ft=vim sw=4 : + +- At least one block of lines to indent, prefixed with START_INDENT and + followed by END_INDENT. These lines must also look like a comment for your + FILETYPE. You would normally leave out all indent, so that the effect of + the indent command results in adding indent. Example: + + " START_INDENT + func Some() + let x = 1 + endfunc + " END_INDENT + + If you just want to test normal indenting with default options, you can make + this a large number of lines. Just add all kinds of language constructs, + nested statements, etc. with valid syntax. + +- Optionally, add lines with INDENT_EXE after START_INDENT, followed by a Vim + command. This will be executed before indenting the lines. Example: + + " START_INDENT + " INDENT_EXE let g:vim_indent_cont = 6 + let cmd = + \ 'some ' + \ 'string' + " END_INDENT + + Note that the command is not undone, you may need to reverse the effect for + the next block of lines. + +- Alternatively to indenting all the lines between START_INDENT and + END_INDENT, use an INDENT_AT line, which specifies a pattern to find the + line to indent. Example: + + " START_INDENT + " INDENT_AT this-line + func Some() + let f = x " this-line + endfunc + " END_INDENT + + Alternatively you can use INDENT_NEXT to indent the line below the matching + pattern. Keep in mind that quite often it will indent relative to the + matching line: + + " START_INDENT + " INDENT_NEXT next-line + func Some() + " next-line + let f = x + endfunc + " END_INDENT + + Or use INDENT_PREV to indent the line above the matching pattern: + + " START_INDENT + " INDENT_PREV prev-line + func Some() + let f = x + " prev-line + endfunc + " END_INDENT + +It's best to keep the whole file valid for FILETYPE, so that syntax +highlighting works normally, and any indenting that depends on the syntax +highlighting also works. + + +RUNNING THE TEST + +Before running the test, create a FILETYPE.ok file. You can leave it empty at +first. + +Now run "make test" from the parent directory. After Vim has done the +indenting you will see a FILETYPE.fail file. This contains the actual result +of indenting, and it's different from the FILETYPE.ok file. + +Check the contents of the FILETYPE.fail file. If it is perfectly OK, then +rename it to overwrite the FILETYPE.ok file. If you now run "make test" again, +the test will pass and create a FILETYPE.out file, which is identical to the +FILETYPE.ok file. The FILETYPE.fail file will be deleted. + +If you try to run "make test" again you will notice that nothing happens, +because the FILETYPE.out file already exists. Delete it, or do "make clean", +so that the text runs again. If you edit the FILETYPE.in file, so that it's +newer than the FILETYPE.out file, the test will also run. |
