Description

The script generate_test_cases.py was used to generate the content in #667. This is a placeholder issue to track improvements that could be made to the script.

Steps to Reproduce

1. cd constellation
2. python ../constellation-miscellaneous/TestCaseGenerator/generate_test_cases.py > output

Suggestions

• Sort the list of views and plugins alphabetically
• Fix the cases where the menu option is empty
• The script should be able to accept multiple folders so you could generate it for constellation and constellation-adaptors in the one script
• exclude any disabled actions or plugins
• some actions missing like “Arrange by Layers”
• There’s no item to test Tools/Cluster > Hierarchical, and K-Truss should be listed as Tools/Cluster >K-Truss

The Arrange by Layers action in the test cases isn’t present in rc2 as well.

I’ve noticed that some actions such as the arrange in group action plugin are disabled in constellation but are still included in the generated test cases. Perhaps the script should ignore them if possible.

Not sure if this can be fixed in the script: There’s no item to test Tools/Cluster > Hierarchical, and K-Truss should be listed as Tools/Cluster >K-Truss
