view test/html_norm.py @ 6995:dc83ebff4c90

change test to use html normalizer when comparing html output. Update to Markdown2 parser changed text output keeping same html semantics. Broke test_string_markdown_code_block_attribute test. I hand patched it to get tests working but it needed a better solution. Write a simple html normalizer using HTMLParser so I don't need third party (lxml, beautifulsoup) library to clean up the test. Use the normalizer to parser the expected result and the result returned by the various markdown libraries. Hopefully this will make the test less fragile. This can have multiple uses in template testing where html is compared. I expect to have to change html_norm.py to make test writing easier in the future.

"""Minimal html parser/normalizer for use in test_templating.

When testing markdown -> html coversion libraries, there are
gratuitous whitespace changes in generated output that break the
tests. Use this to try to normalize the generated HTML into something
that tries to preserve the semantic meaning allowing tests to stop
breaking.

This is not a complete parsing engine. It supports the Roundup issue
tracker unit tests so that no third party libraries are needed to run
the tests. If you find it useful enjoy.

Ideally this would be done by hijacking in some way
lxml.html.usedoctest to get a liberal parser that will ignore
whitespace. But that means the user has to install lxml to run the
tests. Simlarly BeautifulSoup could be used to pretty print the html
but again then BeautifulSoup would need to be instaled to run the
tests.
