zsh-syntax-highlighting / tests

Utility scripts for testing zsh-syntax-highlighting highlighters.

The tests expect the highlighter directory to contain a test-data directory with test data files. See the main highlighter for examples.

Each test should define the array parameter $expected_region_highlight. The value of that parameter is a list of "$i $j $style" strings. Each string specifies the highlighting that $BUFFER[$i,$j] should have; that is, $i and $j specify a range, 1-indexed, inclusive of both endpoints.

Note: $region_highlight uses the same "$i $j $style" syntax but interprets the indexes differently.

highlighting test

test-highlighting.zsh tests the correctness of the highlighting. Usage:

zsh test-highlighting.zsh <HIGHLIGHTER NAME>

performance test

test-perfs.zsh measures the time spent doing the highlighting. Usage:

zsh test-perfs.zsh <HIGHLIGHTER NAME>
