RDF 1.1 tests & support

[joernhees]

we should properly test & support RDF 1.1.

I see the following TODOs: (help welcome)

• integrate test cases into our test suite: http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/NOTE-rdf11-testcases-20140225/ ( or check if they're integrated already:
  • Turtle
  • TriG
  • N-Triples
  • N-Quads
  • XML
  • JSON-LD

As discussed in #400 backwards compatibility would be nice.

• For parsers this hopefully means that the new version can still parse the old one.
• For serializers we should probably provide a way to write the old style RDF 1.0 files in the specified format and default to writing the new style RDF 1.1 files.

Any thoughts on this welcome @RDFLib/rdflib

+1. Solving #436 is probably part of this work.

As far as I can tell from the W3's What's New in RDF 1.1 RDFLib now fully supports it.

I'm not sure we are running all these test suites, and even if we are I think we are skipping large amounts of them.

I guess it's worth checking that the desired coverage is achieved. grepping for read_manifest turns up, for example,

rdflib/test/test_trig_w3c.py

Line 92 in 57f993d

read_manifest("test/w3c/trig/manifest.ttl"),

and the tests in the corresponding folder match those of the W3 test suite

Elsewhere, these tests call read_manifest and run the corresponding tests:

test/test_trig_w3c.py
test/test_parsers/test_nquads_w3c.py
test/test_parsers/test_turtle_w3c.py
test/test_parsers/test_nt_w3c.py

Seem to be missing the 1.1 rdfxml tests (the rdfxml 1.0 tests don't use read_manifest but test/test_rdfxml.py instead) and the RDF 1.1 Semantics tests.

Most of the skipped tests (in skiptests.list) are sparql11 tests

Further to this. I'm working on collecting up the test suites into a single test_suites directory to live in consistent_test_data and it appears that tests/n3 is unused apart from a couple of specific tests because renamingn3 to _n3 only produces these two failures:

FAILED test/test_n3.py::TestN3Case::test_issue156 - FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.../test/n3/issue156.n3'
FAILED test/test_misc/test_parse_file_guess_format.py::FileParserGuessFormatTest::test_n3 - FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.../test/n3/example-lots_of_graphs.n3'

Uh-huh, the n3 suite was originally for checking n3 serialization roundtripping and atm, I'm not entirely sure that test has been replaced by a later version, so I recovered and updated gromgull's test code, pro tem. Tests out okay but we probably don't actually need it if notation3 roundtripping is already being comprehensively tested.

[aucampia]

I will hold off with fixing reporting then. I would prefer we do open a new issue for this though. Also I think it may make sense to just put test data in 'test/data/' as that already implies that is test data and it should be consistent from the outset.

[aucampia]

Maybe we should make an issue for tracking test reorg also to discuss layout.

Agreed.
