     1 Nashorn tests are TestNG based. Running tests requires downloading the TestNG
       
     2 library and placing its jar file into the lib subdirectory:
       
     3 
       
     4    # download and install TestNG
       
     5    wget http://testng.org/testng-x.y.z.zip
       
     6    unzip testng-x.y.z.zip
       
     7    cp testng-x.y.z/testng-x.y.z.jar lib/testng.jar
       
     8 
       
     9    # run tests
       
    10    cd ..
       
    11    ant test
       
    12 
       
    13 This will fail with a message like
       
    14 
       
    15     taskdef class org.testng.TestNGAntTask cannot be found
       
    16 
       
    17 if the TestNG jar file is not installed properly or if the wrong
       
    18 version is present. (Check build.xml to find the version of TestNG
       
    19 that is required.)  Only the jar file is necessary. The unzipped
       
    20 hierarchy can be removed.
       
    21 
       
    22 We have tested using TestNG 6.7 as well ad TestNG 6.8. TestNG 6.7's jar file
       
    23 is also available as part of jtreg 4.1 b05 which can be downloaded at
       
    24 http://download.java.net/openjdk/jtreg/
       
    25 
       
    26 ECMAScript script test framework:
       
    27 
       
    28 * Test tags for test framework:
       
    29 
       
    30 The test runner crawls these directories for .js files and looks for JTReg-style
       
    31 @foo comments to identify tests.
       
    32 
       
    33     * @test - A test is tagged with @test.
       
    34 
       
    35     * @test/fail - Tests that are supposed to fail (compiling, see @run/fail
       
    36       for runtime) are tagged with @test/fail.
       
    37 
       
    38     * @test/compile-error - Test expects compilation to fail, compares
       
    39       output.
       
    40 
       
    41     * @test/warning - Test expects compiler warnings, compares output.
       
    42 
       
    43     * @test/nocompare - Test expects to compile [and/or run?]
       
    44       successfully(may be warnings), does not compare output.
       
    45 
       
    46     * @subtest - denotes necessary file for a main test file; itself is not
       
    47       a test.
       
    48 
       
    49     * @run - A test that should be run is also tagged with @run (otherwise
       
    50       the test runner only compiles the test).
       
    51 
       
    52     * @runif - A test that should be run only if a specific System property
       
    53       is defined (Example: @runif external.v8)
       
    54 
       
    55     * @run/fail - A test that should compile but fail with a runtime error.
       
    56 
       
    57     * @run/param - specify runtime arguments to script.
       
    58 
       
    59     * @run/ignore-std-error - script may produce output on stderr, ignore
       
    60       this output.
       
    61 
       
    62     * @compilearg \ - pass arg to compiler, sample.
       
    63 
       
    64 /**
       
    65  * @compilearg --dump-ir-graph
       
    66  * @test/warning
       
    67  */
       
    68 
       
    69     * @compilefirst foo.js - foo.js being a necessary file for a test; it
       
    70       may or may not itself be a test. These are compiled separately before
       
    71       main test file.
       
    72 
       
    73     * @compile/fail foo.js - foo.js being a necessary file for a test; it
       
    74       may or may not itself be a test, compile should fail. These are compile
       
    75       with main file.
       
    76 
       
    77     * @compile bar.js - bar.js being a necessary file for a test; it may or
       
    78       may not itself be a test. These are compiled with main file.
