We’ve just included what we call smoke specs or core features specs in both skeletons for plugins and themes. These specs ensure the plugin or the theme you’re working on doesn’t break the basic functionality of Discourse. It’s easy to add these specs to an existing plugin or theme: For a plugin # spec/system/core_features_spec.rb RSpec.describe "Core features", type: :system do before { enable_current_plugin } it_behaves_like "having working core features" end For a theme # spec/system/core_features_spec.rb RSpec.describe "Core features", type: :system do before { upload_theme_or_component } it_behaves_like "having working core features" end If you need to update many repositories at once, a script for our mass-pr tool is available. If the plugin or the theme you’re working on changes a basic functionality of Discourse on purpose, then it’s possible to skip some of the examples from the core features specs: it_behaves_like "having working core features", skip_examples: %i[login likes] Here’s the complete list of keywords for skipping examples: login likes profile topics topics:read topics:reply topics:create search search:quick_search search:full_page

That’s a good idea, it’s been done in DEV: Add short explanations for the core features specs by Flink · Pull Request #52 · discourse/discourse-theme-skeleton · GitHub and DEV: Add short explanations for the core features specs by Flink · Pull Request #78 · discourse/discourse-plugin-skeleton · GitHub :grin:

If your theme needs to have a different Theme authorized extensions all tests fail because the theme can’t load.

I recently stumbled on this issue. Here’s how the required extensions can be set: RSpec.describe "Core features" do + SiteSetting.theme_authorized_extensions = "js|css" before { upload_theme_or_component } it_behaves_like "having working core features" end

That’s not hard. I wonder what theme I was working on or if I solved the problem! :person_shrugging:

Isso não é difícil. Me pergunto em qual tema eu estava trabalhando ou se resolvi o problema!
