-\begin_layout Standard
-Starting with the stable \SpecialChar LyX
- 2.1 branch, there is a mechanism in place to backport
- new styles to the stable version without the need to update the file format.
- The basic idea is that the new style definition is automatically copied

- that did not yet include the style.

+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Itemize

+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard

+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard

+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+We try to document why a test is inverted or ignored.
+ See the comment (prefixed with
+\begin_inset Flex Code

+\begin_layout Plain Layout

+\end_inset
+
+.
+ It is possible that an export goes from succeeding to failing just because
+ the document was changed and the document was never expected to work with
+ a certain export format in the first case.
+ Once this is confirmed to be the situation, the test can be inverted.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+A good question is why do we enable the tests for non-default formats? The
+ answer is that if a non-default route is broken it is often because a bug
+ was introduced in LyX and not because a document-specific change was made
+ that is not supported by the route.
+ In other words, there is a high signal/noise ratio in the export tests
+ for some non-default formats.
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+What action should you take if a test fails? This depends:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Generally, if a change breaks compilation for the target format (for the
+ manuals pdf2) without solving some important other issue, fix or revert
+ the commit that led to failure.
+ If a change breaks compilation for some non-target format (for the manuals
+ everything except pdf2), invert the test.
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+A special case is given, if the export was succeeding before but showing
+ garbled text in the PDF output.
+ Try to establish, that when the compilation succeeded before the resulting
+ PDF was good.
+ Otherwise, it is in fact an improvement when a test fails.
+ Now it might fail with a clear message of "language xyz not supported".
+ It is always good to check manually why something fails and if it passes
+ if the PDF output is good.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Sometimes a test is fixed as side-effect of some change.
+ We should uninvert a test (remove it from the
+\begin_inset Flex Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+suspiciousTests
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ file) in order to preserve the fix.
+\end_layout

+When a test or several tests fail, consider checking the files in the
+\begin_inset Flex Code

-What action should you take if a test fails? First, check manually that
- when the compilation succeeded before the resulting PDF was good.
- In fact, sometimes it is an improvement when a test fails.
- If you check manually, it might be the case that the export was succeeding
- before but showing garbled text in a PDF output.
- Now it might fail with a clear message of "language xyz not supported".
- It is always good to check manually why something fails and if it passes
- if the PDF output is good.
