Due to the precarious nature of the Open Specifications Promise, it is very important to ensure code is cleanroom. Consult CONTRIBUTING.md
Tests
The test_misc target (make test_misc on Linux/OSX / make misc on Windows)
runs the targeted feature tests. It should take 5-10 seconds to perform feature
tests without testing against the entire test battery. New features should be
accompanied with tests for the relevant file formats and features.
For tests involving the read side, an appropriate feature test would involve reading an existing file and checking the resulting workbook object. If a parameter is involved, files should be read with different values for the param to verify that the feature is working as expected.
For tests involving a new write feature which can already be parsed, appropriate feature tests would involve writing a workbook with the feature and then opening and verifying that the feature is preserved.
For tests involving a new write feature without an existing read ability, please
add a feature test to the kitchen sink tests/write.js.
OSX/Linux
The xlsx.js file is constructed from the files in the bits subdirectory. The
build script (run make) will concatenate the individual bits to produce the
script. Before submitting a contribution, ensure that running make will produce
the xlsx.js file exactly. The simplest way to test is to add the script:
$ git add xlsx.js
$ make clean
$ make
$ git diff xlsx.js
To produce the dist files, run make dist. The dist files are updated in each
version release and should not be committed between versions.
Windows
The included make.cmd script will build xlsx.js from the bits directory.
Building is as simple as:
> make
To prepare dev environment:
> make init
The full list of commands available in Windows are displayed in make help:
make init -- install deps and global modules
make lint -- run eslint linter
make test -- run mocha test suite
make misc -- run smaller test suite
make book -- rebuild README and summary
make help -- display this message
The normal approach uses a variety of command line tools to grab the test files. For windows users, please download the latest version of the test files snapshot from github
