test-extraction-data
====================

The python test will traverse recursively this directory, loading the .expected files as tests.

.expected file format
=====================

It is a .ini (.desktop) formatted file with two mandatory sections: TestFile and Metadata.

The TestFile section contains the 
* Filename (mandatory): relative path from the .expected of the file under test.
* Bugzilla (optional): reference to a bug related with the file.
* Comment (optional): brief description of why that file is in the test suite (problematic, format example...)
* ExpectedFailure (optional): If this key is present, we expect the extraction to fail.
    If ExpectedFailure is included, it is recommended to fill the Bugzilla field! 

The Metadata section contains pairs of property=values with few special rules:
1. The ':' in the properties is replaced with ̈́_'. Note that in the values is ok to have ':'.
  
   E.G.    nfo:duration=5 -> nfo_duration=5
       but a=nmm:Video    -> a=nmm:Video 

2. If the property name is prefixed with '@' then the property is expected in the extraction, but the value
   won't be checked. 

   E.G.     The extraction is:    slo:location [a slo:GeoPoint; slo:postalAddress <urn:uuid:123-123>];

       @slo_location=   -> PASS slo:location is in the extraction

3. If the property name is prefixed with '!' then the property is NOT expected in the extraction
   If the negated property has a value, it forbids the exact value. Otherwise, it forbids the property at all.

   E.G.   The extraction is:    a nmm:Video; nfo:duration 50.

       !a=nmm:Audio     -> PASS because there is no "a nmm:Audio"
       !nfo_duration=12 -> PASS because duration has a different value
       !nfo_duration=   -> FAIL because there shouldn't be any nfo:duration at all

4. The translation of the extraction results to a python dictionary is very basic. 
   It handles a couple of special cases, relevant for testing:
   E.G.

         slo:location [a slo:GeoLocation; slo:PostalAddress "XXX"]      -> slo_location_postalAddress=XXX

   Note 24/08/2011: Tags are translated as "nao_Tag=value, value, value" instead of 
                    the old "nao_Tag_preflabel=value, value, value"

5. There is (so far only) one constant defined to use in the values:

   @URNUUID@  meaning an automatic generated urn:uuid:1231-123-123 URL
     [This constant must not be used with multiple-valued properties. The code only check the first result.]

Example
======

Everything together should look like this:

[TestFile]
Filename=x.mp4
Bugzilla=GB#123123
Comment=Video usually clasiffied as Audio by mistake

[Metadata]
a=nmm:Video
!a=nmm:Audio
nfo_duration=123
