Testing Vim and Vim script
Expression evaluation is explained in
eval.txt. This file goes into details
about writing tests in Vim script. This can be used for testing Vim itself
and for testing plugins.
Vim can be tested after building it, usually with "make test".
The tests are located in the directory "src/testdir".
new-style-testing
New tests should be added as new style tests. The test scripts are named
test_<feature>.vim (replace
<feature> with the feature under test). These use
functions such as
assert_equal() to keep the test commands and the expected
result in one place.
Find more information in the file src/testdir/README.txt.
