Tests

For every test, start file-roller new, for example by opening a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and running the "file-roller" command from there.

Creating an archive

1. Make sure that in your home directory there is no file named "fr-test-archive-1.tar.gz" (remove/rename it if necessary)

2. Click Archive -> New

3. Enter "fr-test-archive-1" as name
4. Verify that target folder is set to your home directory, and that type is set to "Automatic", and click New

5. Click Edit -> Add Files

6. (TBD: add some directories as well)
7. Select the file "/etc/issue" and click OK
8. Verify that an archive with name "fr-test-archive-1.tar.gz" has been created in your home directory
9. Verify that the file is a valid tar.gz archive:
   1. Run "tar tzf ~/fr-test-archive-1.tar.gz" in a terminal, and verify that the output is exactly "issue"
   2. Run "tar xzf ~/fr-test-archive-1.tar.gz -O" in a terminal, and verify that the output is exactly the content of the /etc/issue file

Opening .tar.gz archive

1. Make sure that there is no "/tmp/issue" file (remove/rename it if necessary)

2. Click Archive -> Open

3. Select the file "fr-test-archive-1.tar.gz" from your home directory
4. Verify that a single "issue" file is shown

5. Click Archive -> Extract

6. Select Other -> /tmp/ as target directory

7. Click Extract
8. Verify that the file /tmp/issue exists now and that it has the same content as /etc/issue:
   1. Run "diff /tmp/issue /etc/issue; echo $?" in a terminal and verify that it prints only a "0"

Creating an archive in a remote directory (samba/ftp/http/sftp)

Opening an archive from a remote directory (samba/ftp/http/sftp)

(regression test for bugs like LP 263026)

Opening an archive that is contained in another archive

(test case: an archive contains another nested archive; when trying to open the nested archive, a second file-roller window should be started)

Previewing a file from an archive

(test that it is possible to double-click on text files/images/audio files in an archive and have the file opened in gedit/eog/totem/other appropriate application)

Opening an ISO file

(test that .iso files can be opened in file-roller)
