Effect loading is already tested using integration tests, for example
the maximize test verifies that the maximize effect is loaded _and_ it
actually does something useful when a window is maximized or restored,
testScriptedEffectLoader only verifies that the effect is loaded, which
is less helpful than what integration tests provide us.
But perhaps the main problem with these tests is that they require us
building a mockverse around them. This litters code with ifdef
preprocessor directives and makes changing such code a living nightmare.
Another problem with these two tests is that they cannot use OpenGL
because it means mocking OpenGL, which we obviously not going to do.
With integration tests, it's not a problem.
The bottom line is that unit tests can be useful but they make life
notoriously difficult when it comes to testing components that depend on
other components.
Due to the screen edges test not being an integration test, it's very
hard to change output related code in libkwin. screens.cpp needs to have
a few ifdefs to successfully compile.
This change rewrites the screen edges test as an integration test in
order to allow us using other components of kwin in screens.cpp and
screenedge.cpp without ifdef guards.
It's not a one-to-one port.
Active output is a window management concept. It indicates what output
new windows have to be placed on if they have no output hint. So
Workspace seems to be a better place for it than the Screens class, which
is obsolete.
With AbstractOutput being used more heavily, it makes sense to have
something like Screens::number() in the Platform class. As is, the steps
to get an output for a given point are awkward - first, get the screen
id, then use the screen id to get the output.
Once in a while, we receive complaints from other fellow KDE developers
about the file organization of kwin. This change addresses some of those
complaints by moving all of source code in a separate directory, src/,
thus making the project structure more traditional. Things such as tests
are kept in their own toplevel directories.
This change may wreak havoc on merge requests that add new files to kwin,
but if a patch modifies an already existing file, git should be smart
enough to figure out that the file has been relocated.
We may potentially split the src/ directory further to make navigating
the source code easier, but hopefully this is good enough already.
