-- love.run: main entrypoint function for LÖVE
--
-- Most apps can just use the default shown in https://love2d.org/wiki/love.run,
-- but we need to override it to install a test harness.
--
-- A test harness needs to check what the 'real' code did.
-- To do this it needs to hook into primitive operations performed by code.
-- Our hooks all go through the `App` global. When running tests they operate
-- on fake screen, keyboard and so on. Once all tests pass, the App global
-- will hook into the real screen, keyboard and so on.
--
-- Scroll below this function for more details.

-- I've been building LÖVE apps for a couple of months now, and often feel
-- stupid. I seem to have a smaller short-term memory than most people, and
-- LÖVE apps quickly grow to a point where I need longer and longer chunks of
-- focused time to make changes to them. The reason: I don't have a way to
-- write tests yet. So before I can change any piece of an app, I have to
-- bring into my head all the ways it can break. This isn't the case on other
-- platforms, where I can be productive in 5- or 10-minute increments. Because
-- I have tests.
--
-- Most test harnesses punt on testing I/O, and conventional wisdom is to test
-- business logic, not I/O. However, any non-trivial app does non-trivial I/O
-- that benefits from tests. And tests aren't very useful if it isn't obvious
-- after reading them what the intent is. Including the I/O allows us to write
-- tests that mimic how people use our program.
--
-- There's a major open research problem in testing I/O: how to write tests
-- for graphics. Pixel-by-pixel assertions get too verbose, and they're often
-- brittle because you don't care about the precise state of every last pixel.
-- Except when you do. Pixels are usually -- but not always -- the trees
-- rather than the forest.
--
-- I'm not in the business of doing research, so I'm going to shave off a
-- small subset of the problem for myself here: how to write tests about text
-- (ignoring font, color, etc.) on a graphic screen.
--
-- For example, here's how you may write a test of a simple text paginator
-- like `less`:
--   function test_paginator()
--     -- initialize environment
--     App.filesystem['/tmp/foo'] = filename([[
--       >abc
--       >def
--       >ghi
--       >jkl
--     ]])
--     App.args = {'/tmp/foo'}
--     -- define a screen with room for 2 lines of text
--     App.screen.init{
--       width=100
--       height=30
--     }
--     App.font.init{
--       height=15
--     }
--     -- check that screen shows next 2 lines of text after hitting pagedown
--     App.run_after_keychord('pagedown')
--     App.screen.check(0, 'ghi')
--     App.screen.check(15, 'jkl')
--   end
--
-- All functions starting with 'test_' (no modules) will run before the app
-- runs "for real". Each such test is a fake run of our entire program. It can
-- set as much of the environment as it wants, then run the app. Here we've
-- got a 30px screen and a 15px font, so the screen has room for 2 lines. The
-- file we're viewing has 4 lines. We assert that hitting the 'pagedown' key
-- shows the third and fourth lines.
--
-- Programs can still perform graphics, and all graphics will work in the real
-- program. We can't yet write tests for graphics, though. Those pixels are
-- basically always blank in tests. Really, there isn't even any
-- representation for them. All our fake screens know about is lines of text,
-- and what (x,y) coordinates they start at. There's some rudimentary support
-- for concatenating all blobs of text that start at the same 'y' coordinate,
-- but beware: text at y=100 is separate and non-overlapping with text at
-- y=101. You have to use the test harness within these limitations for your
-- tests to faithfully model the real world.
--
-- One drawback of this approach: the y coordinate used depends on font size,
-- which feels brittle.
--
-- In the fullness of time App will support all side-effecting primitives
-- exposed by LÖVE, but so far it supports just a rudimentary set of things I
-- happen to have needed so far.
