SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Maintains IdeaVim test suite quality by auditing disabled tests, documenting Neovim annotations, and improving test readability and consistency across the suite.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Review disabled tests for potential re-enablement with clear justification.
  • Document Neovim exclusions with explicit reasons and expected behavior differences.
  • Improve test content readability, naming, and structure to reduce flakiness and speed up reviews.

Quick Start

Review a small subset of tests and update a single disabled case with an explicit description and rationale.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit disabled tests in IdeaVim to see which ones can be re-enabled?

Auditing disabled IdeaVim tests involves reviewing each skipped case for potential re-enablement and documenting clear justification for why it remains excluded. This ensures test suite health by providing explicit rationale for any disabled test logic.

What is the best way to document Neovim annotations in IdeaVim test suites?

Documenting Neovim annotations requires adding explicit exclusion reasons and expected behavior differences for each skipped IdeaVim test case. This documentation clarifies why specific Neovim behaviors are excluded and what the expected differences are.

How do I improve test readability and reduce flaky tests in IdeaVim?

Improving IdeaVim test readability involves updating test content, naming, and structure to enforce code-quality standards. Restructuring tests into small, well-scoped changes reduces flakiness and speeds up the review process.

Does the IdeaVim test maintenance process require specific CI environment setup?

IdeaVim test maintenance applies changes through small, well-scoped PRs that integrate with standard CI workflows. It enforces code-quality standards for test content and documentation without requiring specialized CI environment configuration beyond standard Neovim and IdeaVim setups.

Why should I exclude certain tests when maintaining the IdeaVim test suite?

Excluding specific IdeaVim tests is necessary when documenting Neovim behavior differences or addressing flaky tests that cannot be immediately resolved. The maintenance process requires providing a clear rationale and explicit description for any test that remains disabled.
