-\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
- to the document preamble, so that it can even be used by older minor revisions
- that did not yet include the style.
- To backport a new style to the stable version, the following steps are
- needed:
-\end_layout

-Add the line
-\begin_inset Flex Code
+Update LyX's .lyx documentation files to the new format.
+ The developer who makes the change knows best what changes to expect when

+ Because of this, you might be able to catch a bug in the lyx2lyx code that
+ updates the format just by taking a quick scan through the large diff that
+ is the result

+Inverted tests
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-These tests check whether a .lyx file loads without any terminal messages.
- They correspond to the manual operations of simply opening a .lyx file on
- the terminal, exiting LyX once the file is loaded, and then checking whether
- there is any output from the terminal.
- These tests are useful for catching malformed .lyx files and parsing bugs.
- They can also be used to find a .lyx file in which an instance of something
- happens.
- To do this, compile LyX with a local patch that outputs something to the
- terminal when an instance is found, and then run the check_load tests to
- see if any fail, which would mean that the situation occurs in the LyX
- documentation files corresponding to the failed tests.
- These tests are expectedly fragile: any LyX diagnostic message, which is
- not necessarily an error, would cause the tests to fail.
- Similarly, any message output by a library (e.g.
- Qt) would also cause failure.
- There are some messages that the check_load tests are instructed to ignore,
- which are stored in the file

+\begin_layout Subsubsection
+check_load tests
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+These tests check whether a .lyx file loads without any terminal messages.
+ They correspond to the manual operations of simply opening a .lyx file on
+ the terminal, exiting LyX once the file is loaded, and then checking whether
+ there is any output from the terminal.
+ These tests are useful for catching malformed .lyx files and parsing bugs.
+ They can also be used to find a .lyx file in which an instance of something
+ happens.
+ To do this, compile LyX with a local patch that outputs something to the
+ terminal when an instance is found, and then run the check_load tests to
+ see if any fail, which would mean that the situation occurs in the LyX
+ documentation files corresponding to the failed tests.
+ These tests are expectedly fragile: any LyX diagnostic message, which is
+ not necessarily an error, would cause the tests to fail.
+ Similarly, any message output by a library (e.g.
+ Qt) would also cause failure.
+ There are some messages that the check_load tests are instructed to ignore,
+ which are stored in the file

+\begin_layout Standard
+These tests combine lyx2lyx tests with check_load tests.

URL tests
\end_layout
These tests are extremely fragile (e.g.
a test can depend on your Internet connection) and a failed URL test should
not be taken too seriously.
+ URL tests are labeled as

+Running URL tests
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+cmake is required to run the \SpecialChar LyX
+ tests, running them is not implemented for
+ autotools.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The appropriate commands are:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Itemize
+
+\family typewriter
+ctest -L url
+\family default
+
+\begin_inset Newline newline
+\end_inset
+
+runs all tests with label

+
+\begin_layout Itemize
+
+\family typewriter
+ctest -R 'check_.*urls'
+\family default
+
+\begin_inset Newline newline
+\end_inset
+
+runs the tests 'check_accessible_urls'
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+Associated test results can be examined in ctest-log directory in files
+ of the form 'LastFailed.*URLS.log'
