Usage
-----
To test, just type +run [test]+ in the +test+ directory.
It will print each passing test. If a test fails, a {unified-context-diff}[unified context diff]
is printed showing the tests expected output and the actual output.
Details
-------
+rc+ is optional
and should contain a sequence of commands,
_e.g._, +set-option+, +define-command+, +declare-option+.
+rc+ is sourced and evaluated before the +cmd+ key sequence is executed.
+cmd+ is required
and should contain a key sequence that will edit the input buffer.
+cmd+ is executed after the +rc+ command sequence is sourced.
+in+ is optional
and should contain the initial text loaded into the input buffer
for editing by the +cmd+ key sequence.
+ui-in+ is optional
and should contain the json-rpc commands sent by the UI at startup.
+out+ is optional
and should contain the expected text generated by the +cmd+ key sequence.
+ui-out+ is optional
and should contain the expected UI JSON output.
+selections+ is optional
and should contain the expected value of +$kak_selections+
(_i.e._, content of the selection separated by colons).
+state+ is optional
and should contain the expected value of +$kak_selections_desc+
(_i.e._, range of the selections separated by colons).
If the actual +output+ text, +selections+, +state+, or +ui-out+
does not match the expected content in the corresponding file,
the unit test will fail.
If there is no +output+, +selections+, +state+, or +ui-out+ file,
then the unit test will always succeed.
If there is an +error+ file, which could be empty,
then the unit test will always fail.
