I originally wrote this file when we first added snippets testing
and a lot has changed. We've grown quite fond of the
`// TESTRESPONSE[s/foo/bar/]` construct, for example, but the docs
discouraged its use.
Relates to #18160
It looked like it was telling you to add both `// TEST[continued]`
and `// TESTRESPONSE` to the same snippet which doesn't do anything.
Instead it was trying to say that you can have many snippets included
into the same test by doing:
```
request1
```
// CONSOLE
```
response1
```
// TESTRESPONSE
``
request2
```
// CONSOLE
// TEST[continued]
```
response2
```
// TESTRESPONSE
Adds `warnings` syntax to the yaml test that allows you to expect
a `Warning` header that looks like:
```
- do:
warnings:
- '[index] is deprecated'
- quotes are not required because yaml
- but this argument is always a list, never a single string
- no matter how many warnings you expect
get:
index: test
type: test
id: 1
```
These are accessible from the docs with:
```
// TEST[warning:some warning]
```
This should help to force you to update the docs if you deprecate
something. You *must* add the warnings marker to the docs or the build
will fail. While you are there you *should* update the docs to add
deprecation warnings visible in the rendered results.
Adds infrastructure so `gradle :docs:check` will extract tests from
snippets in the documentation and execute the tests. This is included
in `gradle check` so it should happen on CI and during a normal build.
By default each `// AUTOSENSE` snippet creates a unique REST test. These
tests are executed in a random order and the cluster is wiped between
each one. If multiple snippets chain together into a test you can annotate
all snippets after the first with `// TEST[continued]` to have the
generated tests for both snippets joined.
Snippets marked as `// TESTRESPONSE` are checked against the response
of the last action.
See docs/README.asciidoc for lots more.
Closes#12583. That issue is about catching bugs in the docs during build.
This catches *some* bugs in the docs during build which is a good start.
