Parser Test Utilities

Shared testing utilities and sample files for the Parser project ecosystem.

Features

• Standardized test file access across workspace crates
• Common test helper functions
• Comprehensive sample files covering all supported formats

Test Assets

The assets directory contains sample files for testing:

• PDF files (.pdf)
• Office documents (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx)
• Plain text files (.txt, .csv, .json)
• Images (.png, .jpg, .webp)

All test files are small and contain known content for predictable testing.

Usage

Add as a dev-dependency in your crate's Cargo.toml:

[dev-dependencies]
parser-test-utils = { workspace = true }

Then use the utilities in your tests:

use parser_test_utils::{read_test_file, test_file_path};

#[test]
fn test_something() {
    // Get path to a test file
    let path = test_file_path("test_pdf_1.pdf");
    
    // Or read a test file directly as bytes
    let data = read_test_file("test_pdf_1.pdf");
    
    // Use the file data in your tests...
}

Available Helpers

• test_file_path(filename) - Returns the absolute path to a test file
• read_test_file(filename) - Reads a test file and returns its contents as Vec<u8>
• get_test_file_list() - Returns a list of all available test files
• create_temp_file(extension, content) - Creates a temporary test file with the given content
