This directory contains data files for testing XML dumps. Each file contains an XML structure, full or partial. These data files are intended to be used with DumpAsserter::assertDOM().
The data files contain XML with variable placeholders using a mustache-like syntax, e.g. {{site_name}}. The variable placeholder syntax is implemented by DumpAsserter::resolveVars(), variable values can be defined using DumpAsserter::setVarMapping(). Any differences in whitespace and any comments in the XML files are ignored.
Data files may make use of the test:data and test:end/ tags: test:data acts as a wrapper for a sequence of elements and is ignored during comparison. test:end/ terminates the comparison, and causes all subsequent content of the file to be ignored. The behavior of the test:data and test:end/ tags is controlled by DumpAsserter::assertDOM().
The names of these files, the data they contain, as well as the names of the variables used, are defined by test cases, such as ImportExportTest.
