Write Unit Tests for processing:core

[SableRaf]

The processing:core library is not changing a lot, so writing tests for it first makes the most sense.

Full Description TBD

Hi I would like to take upon this issue, can this be assigned to me?

[SableRaf]

Hi @Rishab87 and thanks for your interest in this!

Since you're new to the Processing codebase, I recommend starting by looking at the existing tests in processing:core (here). This should give you a sense of the structure and approach used. Feel free to ask any clarifying questions before diving into implementation.

Since this issue is quite broad and doesn’t have a clear definition of done, a good approach would be to identify a specific area that would benefit from additional tests (such as a particular class or expanding an existing test class) and open a sub-issue for it.

Let me and @Stefterv know if you need any guidance. We’re happy to help!

Hi @SableRaf , I looked at the existing tests and went through few files roughly, I think writing tests for handling key events in PApplet.java can be added or we can expand current svg tests adding tests for other features, etc.

Honestly unit tests for most of the classes can be added ig but I think the most important ones should be done first which are critical for now do you have any specific tests in mind which are must have at this point?

[SableRaf]

Adding tests to handle key events sound like a good place to start!

Please make sure you keep PR(s) focused on one specific area of concern.

[Rishab87]

Sure @SableRaf , I'll keep that in mind? Should I create a new issue for it or just reference this one?

[SableRaf]

Thanks for your question! Please open a new issue with a well defined scope. This way it can be closed by your PR.

I've created a new issue and will soon open a PR for it #965
