I read that. Interesting. > Would your proposal cover my example-based approach? How hard would it > be to turn a typical bug report into a test case? Not hard at all. Most of what you propose is already supported. You would put both the input and expected output in FOO/examples/UNIQUE-NAMES The sequence of commands can easily be made into a test case. `emt:insert' inserts the template for you (choose `emt:insert-test'), then paste it in. Rather than saving the buffer, you probably want to do it all inside a mock buffer, like (excuse the online-editor formatting) (emtb:with-buf (:file INPUT-FILE-NAME) (operations) (emtb:buf-contents-matches (:file OUTPUT-FILE-NAME)) For testing only visible output, you'd presumably use org-export-visible and compare that buffer's contents to what's expected. Wildcard comparisons in files are not yet supported. I will take that as a feature request.
