Summary
SUMMARY: Infrastructure "Added override_option class to help write tests which require a particular option to be set"
Purpose of change
Originally inspired by the fact that one of the
iteminfo
tests fails if the game is set to metric weight display (due to a lbs/kg mismatch).Generalised into a tool for temporarily overriding options in tests, something that several tests need.
Describe the solution
Add
override_option
, a new test helper class which provides RAII-style option overriding (set in constructor, reset to old value in destructor).Use this in the places where the tests were already messing with options, and add it also in the particular
iteminfo
test that was failing for me.Describe alternatives you've considered
Leaving the old solution where tests changed options and left them changed, but that leads to test ordering dependencies, and makes test failures harder to debug.
Testing
Just unit tests.
