# cwtest Testing and Development Application for libcw.

`cwtest` is a command line interface to [`libcw`](https://gitea.currawongproject.org/cml/libcw).
It is primarily used to as a minimal interface to develop and test `libcw` subsystems.

See the [Currawong audio processing language and environment `caw`](https://gitea.currawongproject.org/cml/caw)
for an example of a complete application based on [`libcw`](https://gitea.currawongproject.org/cml/libcw).

`cwtest` command line:
```
cwtest <file.cfg> <label>
```

Where `<file.cfg>` refers to a libcw configuration file file with the form:
```
{
  test: {
  
    `program_0`: {
      a:1
      b:"hello"
    },
    
    `program_1`: {
      arg0:["abc","def"]
      b:{ a:73, z:[19] }
    }
}
```

`<label>` refers to a specific set of named parameters
(e.g. `program_0`,`program_1`) which are associated with a library
function.  See `main.cpp` `mode_array[]` for the mapping of labels to
functions.

The goal of `cwtest` is to be able to easily exercise `libcw`
functions, or build simple utilities based on them, with a flexible
sets of parameters.  The primary parameter file used for the programs
and tests below is `src/cwtest/cfg/main.cfg`.

Below is a list of named parameter sets from `src/cwtest/cfg/main.cfg`.
The `label` field refers to the name given to a parameter set
in the `main.cfg` and is also used to select the associated program
from the command line utility.  Searching for the label in 'main.cfg'
will show the complete set of editable parameters available for a given
test function.

The `Source File` and `Function` field gives the source code
location for the function associated with each parameter set.

## Run Unit Tests:

These test are run by the libcw testing framework in cwTest.h/cpp.
The configuraton for the unit tests is in `src/cwtest/src/cfg/test/main.cfg`.

1. Add a new test:
    - Create a function like this: rc_t my_test_func(const test_args_t& args);
    - Add the module name, function pair to the `_test_map[]` in cwTest.cpp.
    - Add an entry to the test parameters cfg. below.
        + Name the test case (e.g. `test_0`) and give the test parameters. 
        + On the call to my_test_func() the args.module_args is set to the 'module_args' dictionary defined in the cfg.
        + Likewise args.test_args is set to the 'test_args' dictionary referenced by the test name label 'e.g. test_0:{ my_arg:1 }'.
	  
    - Run the test like this: `cwtest test/main.cfg test /my_module test_0 echo` to see the results of the test run.
      The results of this run will be written into `/cur/my_test/test_0/log.txt`
  
    - Once the results have been validated copy the output from 'cur' to the `/ref/my_test/test_0/log.txt.`
    
    - Verify that the test passes: `cwtest test/main.cfg test /my_module test_0 compare`


2. The test spec. is recursive. Modules can be listed inside of modules.  (e.g. 'lex' and 'flow').

3. If a module spec. does not have an embedded
      'module' or 'module_args' then the cases may
      be listed without a 'cases' label.
      (e.g. 'filesys','object', 'vop')
    
4. Command line args:

      Parameter     |  Description
    ----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------
      <module_path> | 'all'  (required) The module path always begins with a '/'.
      <test_label>  | 'all'  (required)
      'gen_report'  | Print modulue/test label.
      'compare'     | Run compare pass.
      'echo'        | Print the generated test output to the console.
      'args'        | All command line args after 'args' are passed to the tests.
    
5. Example command lines:
```
      cwtest ~/src/cwtest/src/cwtest/cfg/test/main.cfg test /lex test_0 gen
      cwtest ~/src/cwtest/src/cwtest/cfg/test/main.cfg test /flow test_0 compare
```

# Installation

Dependencies:

- libwebsockets-devel
- fftw-devel
- libcm: lapack-devel
-       atlas-devel

#Design Questions:

How should errors be presented to the user? developer?


#To Do:

### 

All callbacks should return meaningful result codes.


### UI Properties

    name            - becomes the HTML id for this element
    appId             application id for this element
    title             label or title for this element
    className         Base class name for this element. All elements have a built-in default class name.
    addClassName      Add this class name to the class name.
    clickable         This elemnt will send a 'click' msg when clicked.
    enable            This element is enabled
    visible           This element is visible.

# Preset Select
   
+ If the the parsing of the main cfg file fails the app crashes in main.cpp with a double free.
+ play on preset letter select
+ allow the network to be reloaded without restarting the program
+ create an interactive spec-dist panel to experiment with presets


REVIEW:
+ gain problem
- was it really the transition bug and not a gain bug?
- FFT normalization
- Float/Int conversion on ALSA output
- create a metering object to examine signal at various places in network
- add compressor/limiter like in cm based network



DONE:
+ save preset check box state.
+ verify that all fragments are saved and restored
+ UI:         remove 'Filename' entry box.
+ flow proc:  gain, audio channel split map, audio channel merge map, fixed delay 
+ Fix CPU usage: work around for serial port server.
+ App:        apply wet/dry and gain when new presets are loaded.
+ App:        add 'Note' to fragment 
+ App:        add per fragment play control with begin/end locations
+ UI:         reorganinze top panel layout
+ App:        Add a status box to report errors and warnings to the user.
+ App:        Send log output to "Log" UI.
+ App:        When a invalid value is entered (thereby disabling a control) a message should be written to the status box.
+ App:        Add ranges to numeric controls.
+ App:        What happens when an invalid value is entered in a GUI control?
+ App:        interactive wet in gain, wet out gain, dry gain, piano midi enable, sampler midi enable, sampler delay
+ App:        interactive print network
+ App:        automatically load on start
+ flow:       Allow setting a specific variable value from a network preset
+ preset_sel: The sampler requires a different velocity map than the piano. The piano was scaled down but now the sampler is too quiet.
+ preset_set: deleting a fragment does not automatically fill in the missing location space.
+ preset_sel: backup to numbered file on save
+ preset_sel: Velocity of the individual notes of chords should be scaled to such that their sum matches the dynamic value.
+ libcw:      Make IO sub-systems optionally synchronous
+ UI:         clear UI when the app disconnects.
+ UI: Add an error indicator and API for each control (e.g. border set to red)
+ UI: Add the ability to order child lists via the 'order' attribute.
+ UI: Add API to delete a UI element
+ UI: add HTML class and name assignments to row/col div's.  (See 'name' and 'addClassName' attribute.)
+ UI: add min/max/incr/decpl attributes to numeric variables (See uiSetNumbRange.)

+ PresetSel: Select and highlight a fragment.
+ PresetSel: + test adding,deleting, saving and restoring fragment records
+ Enable 'Delete' button when a fragment is selected.
