Notes on testing procedure

Various steps of the testing

Opening and editing pmwiki.org/wiki/Main/WikiSandbox

Test that it is possible to open, edit, save and reload changes to

	http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Main/WikiSandbox

Test code, partial:

	(pmwiki-open "http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Main/WikiSandbox")
	(end-of-buffer)
	;; Hmm... need code to insert some text here
	(pmwiki-save)
	(pmwiki-reload)		; Visually verify that changed was saved

Test saving with and without having to give a comment.

The default when saving a page is that you give a comment. This happens when you execute the command (pmwiki-save), or simply press C-c C-c. To avoid giving a comment, you can preceeded the command with an argument by pressing C-u C-c C-c. Then the changes are just saved.

Test procedure:

• Set the variable controlling this behaviour to nil by executing:

	(set-variable 'pmwiki-no-summary nil)

• Open some page and edit the page.
• Use C-c C-c to save page.

• Do some more changes
• Use C-u C-c C-c to save the page.

Test reversing summary setting for giving a comment while saving

Test procedure:

• Set the variable controlling this behaviour to nil by executing:

	(set-variable 'pmwiki-no-summary t)

• Open some page and edit the page.
• Use C-c C-c to save page.

• Do some more changes
• Use C-u C-c C-c to save the page.

General comments

Things to test

Edit conflict 1

Test procedure:

• Open a new wiki page from Emacs

	(pmwiki-open "http://pmwiki.org/wiki/EmacsModes/TestEditConflict")

• Create the same new same wiki page from browser, e.g. giving it the text "Edited from browser".
• In Emacs, modify the page to read e.g. "Edited from Emacs" and try to save the wiki page from Emacs

Specific issues

Issue 1 - undesired splitting into menu sublevels based on wiki words

When using e.g. the menu PmWiki->OpenedPages there is a splitting of wiki words that I think is probably undesirable, i.e. I haven't seen any advantage to it yet. For instance, after having opened Main.WikiSandbox, the menu for opened pages let's me navigate to it through this sequence:

	www.pmwiki.org/ -> Main -> Wiki -> Sandbox

rather than what I would have expected, i.e.

 	www.pmwiki.org/ -> Main -> WikiSandbox

or

 	www.pmwiki.org/ -> Main -> Wiki Sandbox

Issue 2 - Deleting a page does not delete the buffer

Test procedure:

• Open a page
• Invoke 'pmwiki-delete'

Issue 3 - Unable to open wiki page from sourceforge shell server

I logged in to a shell server at sourceforge. Then installed pmwiki mode by checking out latest CVS. Finally I started Emacs there and executed

        (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/pmwiki-mode")
        (require 'pmwiki-mode)

        (pmwiki-open "Main/WikiSandbox")

This results in the error message:

        setq: connection failed: connection refused, www.pmwiki.org,
        HTTP GET http://ww(approve links)\w.pmwiki.org/wiki/Main/WikiSandbox?author=&action=ed$

What's going on?
