Editing Module:Convert/tester/doc (section)

==Testcases example==
*[[Module:Convert/sandbox/testcases]] • templates to be tested, with expected outputs
*[[Module talk:Convert/sandbox/testcases]] • view test results

It is not necessary to save the testcases page before viewing test results. For example, [[Module:Convert/sandbox/testcases]] could be edited to change the tests. While still editing that page, paste {{nowrap|"<code>Module talk:Convert/sandbox/testcases</code>"}} (without quotes) into the page title box under "Preview page with this template", then click "Show preview".

The testcases talk page (for example, [[Module talk:Convert/sandbox/testcases]]) contains:
<pre>
{{#invoke:convert/sandbox/testcases|run_tests}}
</pre>

The testcases module page (for example, [[Module:Convert/sandbox/testcases]]) may contain:
<syntaxhighlight lang=lua>
local tests = [==[

A template to be tested must be at the start of a line.
Lines which do not start with a template are ignored.
{{convert/sandbox|1|acre|lk=on}}            1 [[acre]] (0.40&amp;nbsp;[[hectare|ha]])
{{convert/sandbox|1|m2|acres|lk=on}}        1 [[square metre]] (0.00025 [[acre]]s)
{{convert/sandbox|0.16|/l|2|disp=table}}    align="right"|0.16\n|align="right"|0.61

]==]

local p = require('Module:Convert/tester')
p.tests = tests
return p
</syntaxhighlight>

If wanted, the tests can be run using a template different from the one specified in the tests. For example, the following would run the tests from [[Module:Convert/sandbox/testcases]], but would change the name of each template found on that page to "<code>convert/sandbox2</code>".
<pre>
{{#invoke:convert/sandbox/testcases|run_tests|template=convert/sandbox2}}
</pre>
