Unit Tests about papercss HOT 11 CLOSED

Very neat article, I honestly had no idea there was testing for CSS (but it makes sense). Do you know what other CSS frameworks are using for tests? In addition to tape-css mentioned in the article, there's also quixote for unit testing. Have you used either one of these before?

There's also regression testing, here's a neat article on that.

Overall though, I agree that it would be handy in this project!

That sounds good, I'll work on getting quixote set up!

I'll also take a look at permissions for the testing project. It'd be pretty silly if I was the only one that could add/edit those!

@Fraham no update, sorry. I've let the ball drop on this one. @brodybits I'll update it to a help wanted issue.

I only have experience of unit and regression testing in C# so i havn't used either of these testing frameworks.

I like the look of quixote, seems to do everything that i would expect it to do.

Made setup a Github project so contributors could pick up tasks of adding unit and regression tests for each component

I like quixote as well, looks very intuitive.

A Github project is a good idea. I'll set that up once we have the testing framework put in place. That way there's no friction to adding in more test coverage.

@rhyneav could you start the testing framework process off so it is all setup and so that the tests run through the continuous integration

I have seen to have created a project for testing, I can't seem to make any new cards or change the status of the cards, might need to open up premissions

@rhyneav any update on the unit test setup?

Could this be considered a "help wanted" issue?

Is unit testing on CSS frameworks really useful? That's the real question, is it worth to spend a few hours or even days on this?

@TotomInc the sort of unit testing I am thinking about is when dealing with less functions and css inheritance.

So it would be nice to have unit tests set up before doing a refactoring as it will prove that the refactor hasn't broken anything.

Also for less functions, I think all logic should be tested to ensure the results are as expected and doesn't regress

Some basic tests for colors and flexbox styles might be good. I don't think it's a huge priority, but could be a nice addition as the framework gets larger. And especially if JavaScript gets added to it.
