- Ensure they're correctly synced to the client. This definitely isn't
comprehensive, but doing anything further probably involves multiple
players, which is tricky.
- Quick rendering test for in-hand computers.
- Add a new ClientJavaExec Gradle task, which is used for client-side
tests. This:
- Copies the exec spec from another JavaExec task.
- Sets some additional system properties to configure on gametest framework.
- Runs Java inside an X framebuffer (when available), meaning we
don't need to spin up a new window.
We also configure this task so that only one instance can run at
once, meaning we don't spawn multiple MC windows at once!
- Port our 1.16 client test framework to 1.19. This is mostly the same
as before, but screenshots no longer do a golden test: they /just/
write to a folder. Screenshots are compared manually afterwards.
This is still pretty brittle, and there's a lot of sleeps scattered
around in the code. It's not clear how well this will play on CI.
- Roll our own game test loader, rather than relying on the mod loader
to do it for us. This ensures that loading is consistent between
platforms (we already had to do some hacks for Forge) and makes it
easier to provide custom logic for loading client-only tests.
- Run several client tests (namely those involving monitor rendering)
against Sodium and Iris too. There's some nastiness here to set up
new Loom run configurations and automatically configure Iris to use
Complementary Shaders, but it's not too bad. These tests /don't/ run
on CI, so it doesn't need to be as reliable.
