Daniel Shahaf 6fe07c0961 'make test': Fix breakage introduced by 4d3da30f8b726c6e0eeb3adda06adc9eaa329b3b:
test failure would not be reflected by the exit code of 'make'.

Setting a shell parameter in the left-hand side of a pipe is not visible to
commands after the pipe, because the left-hand side forks.  (That's true both
in 'sh' used by 'make' and in 'zsh' that runs tests/test-highlighting.zsh, at
least on my system.)  Therefore, move the colorizing hook to where it doesn't
interfere with setting the $something_failed (in tests/test-highlighting.zsh)
and $result (in Makefile) parameters.

zsh-syntax-highlighting / tests

Utility scripts for testing zsh-syntax-highlighting highlighters.

The tests expect the highlighter directory to contain a test-data directory with test data files. See the main highlighter for examples.

Each test should define the array parameter $expected_region_highlight. The value of that parameter is a list of "$i $j $style [$todo]" strings. Each string specifies the highlighting that $BUFFER[$i,$j] should have; that is, $i and $j specify a range, 1-indexed, inclusive of both endpoints. If $todo exists, the test point is marked as TODO (the failure of that test point will not fail the test), and $todo is used as the explanation.

Note: $region_highlight uses the same "$i $j $style" syntax but interprets the indexes differently.

highlighting test

test-highlighting.zsh tests the correctness of the highlighting. Usage:

zsh test-highlighting.zsh <HIGHLIGHTER NAME>

All tests may be run with

make test

which will run all highlighting tests and report results in TAP format.

performance test

test-perfs.zsh measures the time spent doing the highlighting. Usage:

zsh test-perfs.zsh <HIGHLIGHTER NAME>

All tests may be run with

make perf
