| 1 | +# Annotation Tests |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +The annotations Test Suite tests which annotations should appear (or not appear) |
| 4 | +on which values of an instance. These tests are agnostic of any output format. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +## Supported Dialects |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Although the concept of annotations didn't appear in the spec until 2019-09, the |
| 9 | +concept is compatible with every version of JSON Schema. Test Cases in this Test |
| 10 | +Suite are designed to be compatible with as many releases of JSON Schema as |
| 11 | +possible. They do not include `$schema` or `$id`/`id` keywords so that |
| 12 | +implementations can run the same Test Suite for each dialect they support. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Since this Test Suite can be used for a variety of dialects, there are a couple |
| 15 | +of options that can be used by Test Runners to filter out Test Cases that don't |
| 16 | +apply to the dialect under test. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Test Case Components |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### description |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +A short description of what behavior the Test Case is covering. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +### compatibility |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +The `compatibility` option allows you to set which dialects the Test Case is |
| 27 | +compatible with. Test Runners can use this value to filter out Test Cases that |
| 28 | +don't apply the to dialect currently under test. Dialects are indicated by the |
| 29 | +number corresponding to their release. Date-based releases use just the year. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +If this option isn't present, it means the Test Case is compatible with any |
| 32 | +dialect. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +If this option is present with a number, the number indicates the minimum |
| 35 | +release the Test Case is compatible with. This example indicates that the Test |
| 36 | +Case is compatible with draft-07 and up. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +**Example**: `"compatibility": "7"` |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +You can use a `<=` operator to indicate that the Test Case is compatible with |
| 41 | +releases less then or equal to the given release. This example indicates that |
| 42 | +the Test Case is compatible with 2019-09 and under. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +**Example**: `"compatibility": "<=2019"` |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +You can use comma-separated values to indicate multiple constraints if needed. |
| 47 | +This example indicates that the Test Case is compatible with releases between |
| 48 | +draft-06 and 2019-09. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +**Example**: `"compatibility": "6,<=2019"` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +For convenience, you can use the `=` operator to indicate a Test Case is only |
| 53 | +compatible with a single release. This example indicates that the Test Case is |
| 54 | +compatible only with 2020-12. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +**Example**: `"compatibility": "=2020"` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +### schema |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +The schema that will serve as the subject for the tests. Whenever possible, this |
| 61 | +schema shouldn't include `$schema` or `id`/`$id` because Test Cases should be |
| 62 | +designed to work with as many releases as possible. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +### externalSchemas |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +`externalSchemas` allows you to define additional schemas that `schema` makes |
| 67 | +references to. The value is an object where the keys are retrieval URIs and |
| 68 | +values are schemas. Most external schemas aren't self identifying (using |
| 69 | +`id`/`$id`) and rely on the retrieval URI for identification. This is done to |
| 70 | +increase the number of dialects that the test is compatible with. Because `id` |
| 71 | +changed to `$id` in draft-06, if you use `$id`, the test becomes incompatible |
| 72 | +with draft-03/4 and in most cases, that's not necessary. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +### tests |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +A collection of Tests to run to verify the Test Case. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +## Test Components |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +### instance |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +The JSON instance to be annotated. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +### assertions |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +`assertions` are a collection of assertions that must be true for the test to pass. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +## Assertions Components |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +### location |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +The instance location. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +### keyword |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +The annotating keyword. |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +### expected |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +An array of annotations on the `keyword` - instance `location` pair. `expected` |
| 101 | +is an array because there's always a chance that an annotation is applied |
| 102 | +multiple times to any given instance location. The `expected` array should be |
| 103 | +sorted such that the most recently encountered value for an annotation during |
| 104 | +evaluation comes before previously encountered values. |
