Test Suite Build System

The CSS2.1 Test Suite's final format is generated from the XHTML 1.1 source files with a set of Python scripts. These can be found in the tools/ directory of the test suite repository.

• Python 2.6 or 2.7 (2.6 preferred for OS X 10.6, 2.7 preferred for OS X 10.7) (note ucs4 support is required, on OSX, use 'port install python26 +ucs4' or 'port install python27 +ucs4' to install)
• The Template-Python module
• The lxml Python module
• A patched copy of the Python html5lib module
• Perl 5
• Mercurial (for building as well as cloning)
• A full clone of the test repository

• To build all tests, run the tools/pub-css21.pl script from the root of your test repository checkout.
• To build only approved tests, run the tools/build-css21.py script from the root of your test repository checkout.
• In both cases, the built test suite will be in dist/.
