| 8 This directory contains conformance tests for testing completeness and | |
| 9 correctness of Protocol Buffers implementations. These tests are designed | |
| 10 to be easy to run against any Protocol Buffers implementation. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 This directory contains the tester process `conformance-test`, which | |
| 13 contains all of the tests themselves. Then separate programs written | |
| 14 in whatever language you want to test communicate with the tester | |
| 15 program over a pipe. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 Before running any of these tests, make sure you run `make` in the base | |
| 18 directory to build `protoc`, since all the tests depend on it. | |
| 19 | |
| 20 $ make | |
| 21 | |
| 22 Then to run the tests against the C++ implementation, run: | |
| 23 | |
| 24 $ cd conformance && make test_cpp | |
| 25 | |
| 26 More tests and languages will be added soon! | |

| 28 Testing other Protocol Buffer implementations | |
| 29 --------------------------------------------- | |
| 30 | |
| 31 To run these tests against a new Protocol Buffers implementation, write a | |
| 32 program in your language that uses the protobuf implementation you want | |
| 33 to test. This program should implement the testing protocol defined in | |
| 34 [conformance.proto](https://github.com/google/protobuf/blob/master/conformance/c
onformance.proto). | |
| 35 This is designed to be as easy as possible: the C++ version is only | |
| 36 150 lines and is a good example for what this program should look like | |
| 37 (see [conformance_cpp.cc](https://github.com/google/protobuf/blob/master/conform
ance/conformance_cpp.cc)). | |
| 38 The program only needs to be able to read from stdin and write to stdout. | |
| 39 | |
| 40 Portability | |
| 41 ----------- | |
| 42 | |
| 43 Note that the test runner currently does not work on Windows. Patches | |
| 44 to fix this are welcome! (But please get in touch first to settle on | |
| 45 a general implementation strategy). | |
