1 DumpAccessibilityTreeTest and DumpAccessibilityEventsTest Notes:
2
3 Both sets of tests use a similar format for files.
4
5 DumpAccessibilityTree tests load an HTML file, wait for it to load, then
6 dump the accessibility tree in the "blink" format (the internal data),
7 and again in a platform-specific format.
8
9 The test output is a compact text representation of the accessibility tree
10 for that format, and it should be familiar if you're familiar with the
11 accessibility protocol on that platform, but it's not in a standardized
12 format - it's just a text dump, meant to be compared to expected output.
13
14 The exact output can be filtered so it only dumps the specific attributes
15 you care about for a specific test.
16
17 One the output has been generated, it compares the output to an expectation
18 file in the same directory. If an expectation file for that test for that
19 platform is present, it must match exactly or the test fails. If no
20 expectation file is present, the test passes. Most tests don't have
21 expectations on all platforms.
22
23 DumpAccessibilityEvent tests use a similar format but dump events fired after
24 the document finishes loading. See more on this below.
25
26 Compiling and running the tests:
27 ninja -C out/Debug content_browsertests
28 out/Debug/content_browsertests --gtest_filter="DumpAccessibility*"
29
30 Files used:
31 * foo.html -- a file to be tested
32 * foo-expected-android.txt -- expected Android AccessibilityNodeInfo output
33 * foo-expected-auralinux.txt -- expected Linux ATK output
34 * foo-expected-blink.txt -- representation of internal accessibility tree
35 * foo-expected-mac.txt -- expected Mac NSAccessibility output
36 * foo-expected-win.txt -- expected Win IAccessible/IAccessible2 output
37
38 Format for expected files:
39 * Blank lines and lines beginning with # are ignored
40 * Skipped files: if first line of file begins with #<skip then the
41 test passes. This can be used to indicate desired output with a link
42 to a bug, or as a way to temporarily disable a test during refactoring.
43 * Use 2 plus signs for indent to show hierarchy
44
45 Filters:
46 * By default only some attributes of nodes in the accessibility tree, or
47 events fired (when running DumpAccessibilityEvents) are output.
48 This is to keep the tests robust and not prone to failure when unrelated
49 changes affect the accessibility tree in unimportant ways.
50 * Filters contained in the HTML file can be used to control what is output.
51 They can appear anywhere but typically they're in an HTML comment block,
52 and must be one per line.
53 * Filters are platform-specific:
54 @WIN-
55 @MAC-
56 @BLINK-
57 @ANDROID-
58 @AURALINUX-
59 * To dump all attributes while writing or debugging a test, add this filter:
60 @WIN-ALLOW:*
61 (and similarly for other platforms).
62 * Once you know what you want to output, you can use filters to match the
63 attributes and attribute values you want included in the output. An
64 ALLOW filter means to include the attribute, and a DENY filter means to
65 exclude it. Filters can contain simple wildcards ('*') only, they're not
66 regular expressions. Examples:
67 - @WIN-ALLOW:name* - this will output the name attribute on Windows
68 - @WIN-ALLOW:name='Foo' - this will only output the name attribute if it
69 exactly matches 'Foo'.
70 - @WIN-DENY:name='X* - this will skip outputting any name that begins with
71 the letter X.
72 * By default empty attributes are skipped. To output the value an attribute
73 even if it's empty, use @WIN-ALLOW-EMPTY:name, for example, and similarly
74 for other platforms.
75
76 Advanced:
77
78 Normally the system waits for the document to finish loading before dumping
79 the accessibility tree.
80
81 Occasionally you may need to write a test that makes some changes to the
82 document before it runs the test. In that case you can use a special
83 @WAIT-FOR: directive. It should be in an HTML comment, just like
84 @ALLOW-WIN: directives. The WAIT-FOR directive just specifies a text substring
85 that should be present in the dump when the document is ready. The system
86 will keep blocking until that text appears.
87
88 You can add as many @WAIT-FOR: directives as you want, the test won't finish
89 until all strings appear.
90
91 To skip dumping a particular element, make its accessible name equal to
92 @NO_DUMP, for example <div aria-label="@NO_DUMP"></div>.
93
94 To skip dumping all children of a particular element, make its accessible
95 name equal to @NO_CHILDREN_DUMP.
96
97 To load an iframe from a different site, forcing it into a different process,
98 use /cross-site/HOSTNAME/ in the url, for example:
99 <iframe src="cross-site/1.com/accessibility/html/frame.html"></iframe>
100
101 Generating expectations and rebaselining:
102
103 If you want to populate the expectation file directly rather than typing it
104 or copying-and-pasting it, first make sure the file exists (it can be empty),
105 then run the test with the --generate-accessibility-test-expectations
106 argument, for example:
107
108 out/Debug/content_browsertests \
109 --generate-accessibility-test-expectations
110 --gtest_filter="DumpAccessibilityTreeTest.AccessibilityA"
111
112 This will replace the -expected-*.txt file with the current output. It's
113 a great way to rebaseline a bunch of tests after making a change. Please
114 manually check the diff, of course!
115
116 Adding a new test:
117
118 If you are adding a new test file remember to add a corresponding test case in
119 content/browser/accessibility/dump_accessibility_events_browsertest.cc
120 or
121 content/browser/accessibility/dump_accessibility_tree_browsertest.cc
122
123 More details on DumpAccessibilityEvents tests:
124
125 These tests are similar to DumpAccessibilityTree tests in that they first
126 load an HTML document, then dump something, then compare the output to
127 an expectation file. The difference is that what's dumped is accessibility
128 events that are fired.
129
130 To write a test for accessibility events, your document must contain a
131 JavaScript function called go(). This function will be called when the document
132 is loaded (or when the @WAIT_FOR directive passes), and any subsequent
133 events will be dumped. Filters apply to events just like in tree dumps.
134
135 After calling go(), the system asks the page to generate a sentinel
136 accessibility event - one you're unlikely to generate in your test. It uses
137 that event to know when to "stop" dumping events. There isn't currently a
138 way to test events that occur after some delay, just ones that happen as
139 a direct result of calling go().
