dialecttest

Overview ¶

Package dialecttest is the suite every dialect has to pass.

IT EXISTS BEFORE THE SECOND DIALECT DOES, and that is the reason it exists at all. An interface with one implementation is a description of that implementation; the second one added later agrees with it wherever the author happened to look and differs everywhere else, and the difference is found by whoever pointed a project at the other warehouse. Here it is found by `go test`.

It runs against a REAL warehouse and nothing else. Every claim it makes is about what the server did -- a dialect that returns the right strings and builds the wrong thing passes a test of its strings and fails this one.
