* tests: automated headless FreeDOS QEMU smoke Fully-automated counterpart to the manual run_freedos_qemu.sh: overlays the FreeDOS image (no mutation), stages the interpreter and a SYSTEM-terminated smoke on C:, injects the run plus poweroff into the image's startup batch, boots headless, and diffs OUT.TXT against the golden file. Local-dev only (needs qemu, a FreeDOS qcow2, mtools, nbd, and passwordless sudo); CI keeps using the DOSBox-X path. Exercises the binary on a real FreeDOS install rather than DOSBox-X emulation. * Release 0.18.0 Cross-language linking (link BASIC into C/Fortran, call C from BASIC via '$EXTERN), the v0.18 codegen/perf batch (paren string-comparison fix, --no-gc-check/--fast-math, larger 32-bit caps, process-local DATE$/TIME$), and the automated FreeDOS QEMU smoke. Bumps GW_VERSION and updates the banners, CHANGES.TXT, and the development history table. --------- Co-authored-by: Eremey Valetov <evvaletov@users.noreply.github.com>

|

|
|
## Tests
|
|
|
|
72 automated test programs in `tests/programs/`, plus 4 classic interactive
|
|
programs in `tests/classic/` (Hamurabi, Lunar Lander, Gunner, Diamond from
|
|
David Ahl's *BASIC Computer Games*). 14 Jupyter kernel tests. 63 compiler
|
|
tests (eligible programs compiled to native executables via
|
|
`gwbasic-compile`; run `bash tests/run_compiler_tests.sh`).
|
|
|
|
Run the full automated suite:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash tests/run_tests.sh # interpreter (72 tests)
|
|
python -m gwbasickernel.test_kernel # Jupyter kernel (14 tests)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each interpreter test has a 5-second timeout. 68 tests have `.expected` golden
|
|
files for output regression detection. Tests without golden comparison:
|
|
datetime, on_timer, timer_stop (timing-dependent), color_test (visual).
|
|
|
|
### Compatibility Testing
|
|
|
|
Compare output against real GWBASIC.EXE running under DOSBox-X:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Generate .expected files from GWBASIC.EXE (requires DOSBox-X Flatpak)
|
|
bash tests/run_compat.sh --generate
|
|
|
|
# Compare gwbasic output against .expected
|
|
bash tests/run_compat.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## CI
|
|
|
|
GitHub Actions runs on every push to `main` and on pull requests. The workflow
|
|
builds the project with PulseAudio support and runs all 72 test programs.
|
|
|
|
See [`.github/workflows/ci.yml`](https://github.com/evvaletov/gw-basic-2026/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml).
