Re: Writing tests for the REPL: tab-completion, etc

[Jose E. Marchesi]

    Adding a new test to poke.repl involves editing poke.repl/repl.exp and
    adding a new set of poke_test_cmd invocations, like this:
    
      poke_start
    
      set test "slashes are preserved"
      poke_test_cmd {4 / 2} {2}
    
      set test "tab-completion-1"
      poke_test_cmd {.set obase 2} {}
      poke_test_cmd ".se\t obase 16" {}
      poke_test_cmd {.set obase} {16}
    
      poke_exit


On a second though, I think it is better to keep each test as
self-contained as possible.  This involves starting and exitting poke in
each test, unless a test depends on another one.

This means, for the two tests above:

set test "slashes are preserved"
poke_start
poke_test_cmd {4 / 2} {2}
poke_exit

set test "tab-completion-1"
poke_start
poke_test_cmd {.set obase 2} {}
poke_test_cmd ".se\t obase 16" {}
poke_test_cmd {.set obase} {16}
poke_exit

I updated the testsuite and HACKING accordingly.
Salud!
