As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
This is meant for testing the GDScript implementation, not for testing
user scripts nor testing the engine using scripts.
Tests consists in a GDScript file and a .out file with the expected
output. The .out file format is: expected status (based on the enum
GDScriptTest::TestStatus) on the first line, followed by either an error
message or the resulting output. Warnings are added after the first
line, before the output (or compiler errors) if the parser pass without
any error.
The test script must have a function called `test()` which takes no
argument. Such function will be called by the test runner. The test
should not have any dependency unless it's part of the test too. Global
classes (using `class_name`) are registered before the runner starts, so
those should work if needed.
Use the command `godot --gdscript-generate-tests
godot-source/modules/gdscript/tests/scripts` to update the .out files
with the current output (make sure the output are the expected values
before committing).
The tests themselves are part of the doctest suite so those can be
executed with `godot --test`.
