Dear all,
The attached patch is an attempt to create something like shared repo
for Org element parser tests.
The idea is moving the tests out from Elisp into a set of text files.
That way, anyone interested in developing Org syntax support can use our
tests and potentially contribute more test files to the benefit of Org
mode for Emacs.
The test set is essentially a series of .org files alongside .el files
containing normalised output of `org-element-parse-buffer'. (see the
patch)
Anyone can contribute to the test set by adding new .org files and
generating the canonical parser output with new
M-x test-org-element-parser-save-expected-result function.
README.org in the repo also serves as a test file 😝.
Any comments or suggestions?
I am particularly looking for thoughts about licensing and possible
distribution of the test set in separate repository.
Best,
Ihor

+#+TITLE: Shared Org parser testing fileset
+#+AUTHOR: Ihor Radchenko
+#+EMAIL: yantar92 at gmail dot com
+
+This is a shared test suite for Org mode syntax. It is a part of Org
+mode's own test suite extracted for easier contributions.
+
+The test suite consists of a number of .org example files alongside
+with the expected parser output. Each .org file can be parsed as is
+and the result should match the corresponding .el file.
+
+The parser results in .el files are Emacs sexps. Each sexp is an
+output of =org-element-parse-buffer= stripped from unessential
+properties. Each sexp has the following form:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(org-data
+ (:property1 value-1 :property2 value-2 ...)
+ (inner-element-1
+ (:inner-element-property1 value ...)
+ ... <other elements inside inner-element-1>)
+ ...
+ "string element is not a list, but a string"
+ ...
+ (heading
+ (:property1 value1 ... :title (object-inside-title1 (<properties>) ...))
+ ...)
+ ...)
+#+end_src
+
+The properties of elements can be specified in arbitrary order.
+
+The common properties are =:begin=, =:end=, =:contents-begin=, and
+=:contents-end=. Their values are 1-indexed char positions from the
+beginning of the Org file.
+
+* Contributing
+
+To add new test files to this suite, send a patch to Org mode mailing
+list, as described in https://orgmode.org/contribute.html.
+
+The expected parser output can be generated using Emacs and latest
+version of Org mode. You need to open an Org file in Emacs, load
+=/path/to/Org/git/repo/testing/lisp/test-org-element-parser.el=, and
+run =M-x test-org-element-parser-save-expected-result=. The expected
+output will be saved alongside with the Org file.

I think, the set should contain hundreds of tests to be helpful, thus 2
files per test will likely be inconvenient since most of samples will be
short. I suggest to group test input and results into large files. Such
tests should be augmented by some metadata: keywords (labels, tags).
E.g. besides heading
- sample: "* Simple Heading"
keywords: heading
it should be possible to filter related cases with similar markup
- sample: "*Bold* emphasis"
keywords: emphasis, heading
description: Despite line is started from a star,
there is no space after it, so it is not a heading.
- sample: " * Unordered list item"
keywords: list, heading
description: Due to leading space it is a list item,
not a heading.
- sample: "*"
keywords: text, heading
description: Not a heading since there is no space after the star.
I omitted test IDs above.
Version of Org and test set should be included into metadata for the
whole suite.
Since partial compliance is assumed, format of test results should be
declared as well to be able to publish overview or comparison.
Are properties like :begin and :end mandatory for reference results of
parsing? They make structures more verbose and harder to read. Often it
is enough to compare content and similar properties.

Since these tests will unlikely become a part of some software, I do not
think that GPL may be an obstacle for any project. Requirement of signed
consent will likely prevent contributing of new cases from some developers.

I agree. The test org files are input data rather than code and I don't
think they fall under the copyright restrictions (or the code
contribution guidelines). They probably don't even need to be GPL'd -
possibly a CC license would be sufficient.
As to whether they should be part of the org-mode repository or in their
own repository, I'm not sure. It would be convenient to have them int he
org-mode repository as I expect they will become part of the testing
framework and only having to checkout one repository would be useful. On
the other hand, I guess there could be cases where people want to just
checkout these samples to use to validate their own library/parser etc.
I tend towards putting them in the org-mode repository for simplicity.

Well. I really wanted to set a technical tone of the discussion in
contrast to my previous email (proposing this exact idea, among others)
that generated little technical feedback and a lot of non-technical.

I am not sure here. In a way, we already have such a format in
test-org-element.el:
(ert-deftest test-org-element/bold-parser ()
"Test `bold' parser."
;; Standard test.
(should
(org-test-with-temp-text "*bold*"
(org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) 'bold #'identity nil t))))
The problem with grouping short tests into a single file is that we put
an extra requirement on the testing code. The code will have to parse
the test files with multiple tests, extract those tests, and then run
the parser. So, in addition to writing the Org parser, third-party dev
will also have to write a parser for the test format. I find individual
files easier to get started with. Most existing parser libraries can
handle individual files, but not individual pieces of text grouped into
bigger file using yet another standard convention.
The usual solution to the above problem is fixed test file format that
can be processed by testing module of a given language. But is there a
standard multi-test in one file format that can be used in multiple
programming languages?
Having said that, I like your idea about adding metadata to the tests.
Probably, we can simply do it in the readme like the following:
* Test group heading
- file :: file:./test-files/test1.org
- keywords :: k1, k2
- description :: description text
Or even allow inline tests via buffer-local after-save-hook:
- text :: "*Bold* emphasis"
- keywords :: emphasis, heading
- description :: Despite line is started from a star, there is no
space after it, so it is not a heading.
Upon save, the text:: field will be automatically converted to a
test-hash.org+test-hash.el files.
> Version of Org and test set should be included into metadata for the
> whole suite.
If the test set is distributed together with Org, I see no reason to do
it. Otherwise, the test set should simply track bugfix and main branches
of Org and follow Org releases. Does it sound reasonable?

I provided a short description of the format in the README (see the
original patch). Is it not enough?

I afraid that if we put contents of every headline/element in place of
:begin :end, the results will be even less readable. The results will
have to dump multiple cumulative instances of the original file.
Or do you have an alternative suggestion about the format of the
reference parser output?

Actually, there have been talks about including Org mode tests into
Emacs itself (https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/87o8629h8g.fsf_-_@gmx.de/)
Not all our tests are under GPL, but we may want to change this
situation.
Also, if we decide to not distribute this test set under GPL, what about
the usual fear with someone contributing and its persons' employer
coming on us with copyright claims? I do not have enough knowledge to
judge this.
Maybe Bastien or others know better. Or we may try to contact GNU legal
team.
Best,
Ihor

Sorry for delay. I expected that a next step with inline raw AST
fragments would be easier, but I have got working example for parser
tests grouped in single file earlier.
Certainly org files may be source for parser tests. They are readable
enough to be convenient for developers and, I hope, it would not require
a lot of work to convert them in machine-readable files. However tests
should be distributed in some format(s) with widely available parsers:
s-expressions, YAML, JSON. I am against JSON for source files since
working with multiline text will likely be a pain (besides editing of
files, patches and VCS diffs should be taken into account).
Actually there is a requirement for external projects related to parser
already. Expected results are provided as S-expressions.
For simplicity I described a test suite with a couple of cases using
s-expressions (see attachments). Names of macro an functions are
arbitrary. Interface should be like
(demo-parse-test-suite "demo-test-suite.el")
Current implementation creates an ert test for each entry in such file,
but it may be changed later. I just had example of macro for
parametrized test from earlier experiments.

At least Tom and Timothy have their parsers, so I expected some response
from them. I am unsure whether posts about Organice were from developers
or from users. Patch is something too internal to development of namely
Org Mode as Emacs major mode. Once I asked to avoid proposal to
integrate everything meaning mostly particular person who was extremely
active that time, but it had effect on more people than I thought. You
intention may have stronger result than it should as well.

It is a bit harder to parse than it is acceptable for external tools.
However it may be converted to more convenient format using elisp
facilities.

I assume available parser for some wide spread format and some simple
interpretation of the structures specific to these tests.

It should take a several line of code to put string input into a
temporary file. Likely it is possible to implement interface of file
stream for input string. Finally, it may stimulate developers to add a
method that parses strings.
I found the following test corpus impressive and unmanageable in the
form of separate files:

Some testing frameworks have facilities for parametrized tests with
lists of arbitrary structures, others explicitly recommends to write a
loop over such lists.

Or to a single file with some top-level metadata and a list (maybe
nested lists) of tests. Unsure that such files should be stored in git.

I have no particular opinion if test sources should be maintained in the
same repository with Org or Emacs. If test are described in Org files
then test suites should be distributed using some other way.

I mean result of *group* of tests to present comparison of parsers.
Unsure if JUnit XML files are appropriate.

I had in mind that only leaf elements have contents. It may result in
some ambiguity however.

I have seen proposals to drop separate repository for Org and do
everything inside the one for Emacs earlier. In my opinion, it would
mean broken compatibility with earlier version of Emacs, so I do not
like it. On the other hand I am not an active developer, so my arguments
may be ignored.
P.S.
Output or Ert requires more tuning:
