Validating Custom Canvas Rendering and Font Loading Workflows in pdf.js

This test suite validates custom canvas rendering and document ownership functionality in Mozilla’s pdf.js library. It focuses on testing canvas background handling and font loading mechanisms across different browser environments.

Test Coverage Overview

The test suite provides comprehensive coverage of two main areas: canvas rendering and font handling.

  • Canvas rendering tests verify default white and custom background colors
  • Font loading tests validate both Font Loading API and CSS rule approaches
  • Edge cases include transparent PDFs and TrueType fonts without cmap
  • Integration points with browser APIs like FontFace and canvas context are thoroughly tested

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach employs Jest’s describe/it pattern with async/await for handling asynchronous PDF operations.

Technical implementation includes:
  • Mock implementations of FontFace and document creation
  • Custom utility functions for pixel color verification
  • Viewport scaling and canvas context manipulation
  • Resource cleanup through beforeAll/afterAll hooks

Technical Details

Testing infrastructure includes:
  • Jest as the primary testing framework
  • Custom CanvasFactory implementation
  • PDF.js display API integration
  • Mock document object model
  • Pixel-level image data verification
  • Font face rule validation utilities

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test suite exemplifies several testing best practices.

  • Proper test isolation through setup/teardown
  • Granular test cases with specific assertions
  • Mock implementations for browser APIs
  • Resource cleanup after test completion
  • Consistent error handling patterns
  • Clear test case organization and naming
