First part is to define the steps (the protocol) at the
model element level, which gets a command prepared and invoked.
Test fails still, because there is no actual argument binding
invoked in the TestNexus
- remove unnecessary includes
- expunge all remaining usages of boost::format
- able to leave out the expliti string(elm) in output
- drop various operator<<, since we're now picking up
custom string conversions automatically
- delete diagnostics headers, which are now largely superfluous
- use newer helper functions occasionally
I didn't blindly change any usage of <iostream> though;
sometimes, just using the output streams right away
seems adequate.
this test is intended as counterpart to
AbstractTangible_test::verify_mockManipulation()
It creates a mock element and verifies bidirectional
connnectivity to the UI-Bus
I worked under the erroneous assumption, that Doxygen
will use its internal entity-IDs as the link-IDs when
generating mardown-links. Yes, this seemed logical and
this would be the way I'd implement it....
But seemingly, Doxygen is not so consistent when it
comes to questions of syntax. The same holds true for
markdown, which lacking a coherent definition anyway.
Another problem is that Doxygen's auto-link generation
frequently fails, for reasons not yet clear to me.
Sometimes it seems to be necessary to give it a nudge
by including the \ref command. While I'm not willing
to go into focussed invstigation of Doxygen syntax
right now, at least I've done a search-and-replace
to remove the malformed links I've written the
last days
the initial draft of this concept is in place now, and
the first round of unit tests pass. I've got some understanding
of the purpose of the interactions and involved elements
and I'm confident this design is evolving in a sane way.
Note: extensive documentation is in the TiddlyWiki,
here I've just pasted and reworded some paragraphs from there
and integrated them into the Doxygen docs
the "log joining" functionality was already implemented
and covered with the generic event log facility, but this test
here was drafted even before that, meaning that the semantics
of matchingn on the log, especially on events, as been
implemented slightly different than planned
next step will be to rig the mock element and set up
and cover the basic / generic element behaviour
This changeset
- adapts the (planned) unit test to the semantic of
the EventLog, which is now fully implemented
- adjusts the function names on the public Tangible interface,
to be better in line with the naming convention of the
corrsponding operations on the UI-Bus:
* "mark" operations are towards the UI element
* "note" messages are from the UI element towards some
state manager, which can be reached via the bus
...providing the standard implementation of UI-Bus connectivity.
It seems reasonable to place all of the UI-Bus implementation into
a single translation unit
