Hi, I've produced a consequent code modification in clipman to add secure item feature <https://gitlab.xfce.org/Sylvain/xfce4-clipman-plugin/-/tree/dev-refactor-indexes>. I now test it personally at full time since September 2021, it's useful and doesn't crash. I would like to add test, or more tests, because there's a tests folder. But I'm not sure how it should be done, nor how to automate test. I didn't find Makefile target like: make test Could you explain me how you add test to the code structure? What I already get, which doesn't explain about unit-testing strategy. https://wiki.xfce.org/dev/howto/panel_plugins#testing_and_releasing_the_plugin <https://wiki.xfce.org/dev/howto/panel_plugins#testing_and_releasing_the_plugin> Basically I produced a new data structure to handle index of element, an indexed double linked list: index: [ 0 , 1 , 2 ] | | | list: | | | | | | | | | head -> [item1] <=> [item2] <=> [item3] Which allow me to access any element by id, and I also maintain a circular indexes, reusing freed index and clipman history resizing. I would like to refactor the code and extract the data structure from the history and to keep it under tests, because pointer and indexes already gave me some strong debugging sessions. So I learned remote debugging 😁 Do you have some rules about testing to follow, or could I introduce any Makefile target I want? Do you have to project example to give me that introduces testing in its code base? So I could borrow the code structure.
