1 Automated tests based on the "MonKey Testing" keytest program.

6 Running the tests in this folder may cause abrupt kill of existing
7 LyX instances on your system. In order to avoid any possible data
8 loss, quit any running instance of LyX in which you're carrying out
9 real work. Also, although precautions have been taken in order to not
10 allow the key presses to reach non-LyX windows, this may sometimes
11 happen anyway. Please, close any running application that is not

17 The following programs are needed by the testing framework:
18 - xvkbd: a modified copy of xvkbd is included in this folder, and should
19 be built before running the tests

26 In order to launch all the tests available in this folder, just run
30 and do not interact with your computer while the tests are running.
32 If you wish to launch one or more specific tests, then provide them
33 as argument to the run-tests.sh script, e.g.:
35 ./run-tests.sh <whatever>*-in.txt
37 For failed tests you get a folder with the logs that help you identify

43 Each test-case script should be named as xxx-in.txt. The syntax of the
44 script is described in detail in the sample test-case script

50 Speed-up the execution of the tests as much as possible (i.e., get rid
51 of heuristic waits when present and replace them with exact check of
52 the condition we're waiting for).
54 Allow for tests with multiple LyX instances, e.g., for copy&paste
55 across LyX instances, or multiple applications, i.e., for testing
56 the interaction between LyX and other applications.
