SWF Regression Tests

Inside tests/swfs is a large collection of automated tests that are based around running a swf and seeing what happens.

To create a test, make a directory that looks like the following, at minimum:

• directory/
  • test.swf
  • test.toml
  • output.txt

As best practice, please also include any source used to make the swf - such as test.fla and any actionscript files.

Test Structure

test.toml

Except for num_frames, every other field and section is optional.

num_frames = 1 # The amount of frames of the swf to run
sleep_to_meet_frame_rate = false # If true, slow the tick rate to match the movies requested fps rate
ignore = false # If true, ignore this test. Please comment why, ideally link to an issue, so we know what's up
output_path = "output.txt" # Path (relative to the directory containing test.toml) to the expected output

# Sometimes floating point math doesn't exactly 100% match between flash and rust.
# If you encounter this in a test, the following section will change the output testing from "exact" to "approximate"
# (when it comes to floating point numbers, at least.)
[approximations]
number_patterns = [] # A list of regex patterns with capture groups to additionally treat as approximate numbers
epsilon = 0.0 # The upper bound of any rounding errors. Default is the difference between 1.0 and the next largest representable number
max_relative = 0.0 # The default relative tolerance for testing values that are far-apart. Default is the difference between 1.0 and the next largest representable number

# Options for the player used to run this swf 
[player_options]
max_execution_duration = { secs = 15, nanos = 0} # How long can actionscript execute for before being forcefully stopped
viewport_dimensions = { width = 100, height = 100, scale_factor = 1 } # The size of the player. Defaults to the swfs stage size
with_renderer = { optional = false, sample_count = 4 } # If this test requires a renderer to run. Optional will enable the renderer where available.
with_audio = false # If this test requires an audio backend to run.

# Whether or not to compare the image rendered with an expected image
# The comparison part of a test is optional and only runs when `imgtests` feature is enabled
# This requires a render to be setup for this test
[image_comparison]
tolerance = 0 # The tolerance per pixel channel to be considered "the same". Increase as needed with tests that aren't pixel perfect across platforms.
max_outliers = 0 # Maximum number of outliers allowed over the given tolerance levels. Increase as needed with tests that aren't pixel perfect across platforms.
