Validating Liquid Template Processing and Resource Management in Shopify/liquid

This test suite validates the core functionality of Liquid template parsing, rendering, and resource management. It covers template context handling, variable assignments, and error management in the Shopify Liquid templating engine.

Test Coverage Overview

The test suite provides comprehensive coverage of Liquid template functionality, including:
  • Template parsing and rendering behavior
  • Variable assignment persistence across renders
  • Resource limit handling and memory management
  • Context and drop object interactions
  • Error handling and undefined variable management

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach utilizes Minitest framework with a focus on isolation and edge cases. Tests are structured to verify template behavior across multiple scenarios including resource limits, encoding issues, and variable scope management. Key patterns include mock drops, custom assigns, and exception handling verification.

Technical Details

Testing tools and configuration:
  • Minitest as the testing framework
  • Custom drop classes for context testing
  • Resource limit configurations for memory testing
  • UTF-8 encoding validation
  • Exception renderer implementations

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test suite exemplifies strong testing practices including:
  • Comprehensive edge case coverage
  • Isolation of test scenarios
  • Clear test naming conventions
  • Thorough error condition testing
  • Resource limit verification
