            Bug ID: 131407
           Summary: move UItest to CppunitTest
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: xiscofauli at libreoffice.org

LibreOffice uses a python framework called UITest to test its UI. see
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/UITests
However, some UI tests has been written for testing other stuff not related to
the UI, like simulating user's action on a document ( undo, redo, delete, type,
etc )

For this kind of tests, it's desirable to use C++ CppunitTest for two reasons
1. It's faster
2. it runs on all platforms ( UITests only run in gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil in
Jenkins )

The idea of this easyhack is to convert the UI tests not calling any UI dialog
to 
CppunitTest. The list of tests that can be converted is here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UiTestsToCppUnittests

Some examples of Writer tests moved to CppunitTest:

Some examples of Calc tests moved to CppunitTest:

of course, you don't need to run 'make' everything you want to test your code.
You can use 'make CppunitTest_sw_uiwriter' or 'make CppunitTest_sc_uicalc' or
even faster
make CppunitTest_sw_uiwriter CPPUNIT_TEST_NAME="<test_name>". eg: make
CppunitTest_sw_uiwriter CPPUNIT_TEST_NAME="testTdf130746::TestBody"
