Move tests to a separate repository
hoshsadiq opened this issue · comments
It makes it easier and better to write tests among the different languages and ensures consistency. We could use a simple syntax similar to SimpleTest. This allows the language to separately interpret the test files, use the language's code to run the test and ensure the correct stuff is matched (and correct regex is generated). The current .rule syntax may be good enough for this.
Moving tests to a separate repository is a good idea. I'll do that tomorrow. For the test syntax: It should definitely be something easy to parse no matter what language you're using, since they should be universal for all implementations. I was thinking about using YAML instead of the current selfmade syntax in the .rule files.
