Hi,
I'm thinking about extending detokenizer.perl a bit, so I went looking
for regression tests for it... As far as I can tell, there are pretty
much no tests for anything under the scripts directory, is that right?
There is a scripts/tests/ subdirectory, and it contains a README that
explains that you run the tests by executing 'make tests' in the
scripts directory, but there is a comment in the relevant Makefile
saying that the 'tests' target is "applicable only at JHU environment
due to data dependencies", which would possibly explain why I get the
following error (from the scripts directory, immediately after
checking it out, under Cygwin):
$ make tests
export SCRIPTS_ROOTDIR=`pwd`; \
cd tests; \
ts=`date '+%Y%m%d-%H%M%N'`; \
for test in *.test; do \
mkdir $test.$ts; \
cd $test.$ts; \
echo "Running $test in tests/$test.$ts"; \
../$test > log 2>&1 || exit 1; \
cd ..; \
done
Running full-train-mert-decode.test in
tests/full-train-mert-decode.test.20110718-1413297840100
make: *** [tests] Error 1
... and in any case, the scripts/tests/ subdirectory only contains two
*.test files:
full-train-mert-decode.test
train-factored-test-step9.test
... so no tests specifically for scripts like detokenizer.perl,
tokenizer.perl, train-recaser.perl, etc. (Also,
full-train-mert-decode.test seems out of place here, judging by the
name.)
To summarize, I guess my questions are:
1) Should I be able to run the existing tests under scripts/tests/,
and if so, what am I doing wrong?
2) Are there any regression tests of detokenizer.perl? If not, and I
want to create some, are there any recommendations re how/where? (e.g.
does it make sense to add them under regression-testing/tests/ ? I'm
guessing not really, it looks like the testing framework there assumes
that a decoder is required for each test, which wouldn't be the case
here.)
Regards,
Ben
