Notes from testing CVS version of pmwiki-mode from 2007-03-24.

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

Status: ok

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.

You should be asked for a comment.

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

You should not be asked for a comment

Status: ok

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.

You should not be asked for a comment

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

You should be asked for a comment.

Status: ok

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

error in process sentinel: progn: Page EmacsModes/TestEditConflict couldn't be saved, server said: nilEditing conflict. Resolve by calling <M-x pmwiki-merge-current>

error in process sentinel: Page EmacsModes/TestEditConflict couldn't be saved, server said: nilEditing conflict. Resolve by calling <M-x pmwiki-merge-current>

Status: fail

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

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

Issue 2 - Deleting a page does not delete the buffer

Test procedure:

Open a page
Invoke 'pmwiki-delete'

The page is deleted from the wiki, but the buffer is still open in Emacs (making you think the page was never deleted)

Status: Reported to LukaszS

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 [(approve links)
