prefilled profile testing
To ensure that users don't lose capabilities when moving from Windows to Linux, wootc migration testing exercises a comprehensive "typical" Windows user profile across unit, integration, and E2E tiers (#277).
Profile Data Architecture
A realistic Windows user environment contains much more than a flat Documents directory. The test fixture model includes:
| Category | Windows Source Path | Migration Target / Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Documents & Files | %USERPROFILE%\Documents, Pictures, Downloads, Music, Videos, Desktop | User Data Bridge bind-mounts into $HOME (/run/wootc/host/Users/<user>) |
| Google Chrome | %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\ (Bookmarks, History) | Bookmarks & history copied into Linux Chrome / Chromium config |
| Microsoft Edge | %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\ (Bookmarks, History) | Bookmarks & history imported into Linux browser configuration |
| Mozilla Firefox | %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\ (profiles.ini, places.sqlite, logins.json, extensions.json) | Full profile copy into $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/windows-import.wootc |
| MS Office / Productivity | %APPDATA%\Microsoft\UProof\CUSTOM.DIC, Templates\*.dotx, Fonts\*.ttf | Custom dictionary merged into LibreOffice standard.dic, templates copied to template/, fonts to ~/.local/share/fonts/, LibreOffice default saving set to OOXML (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) |
| Visual Studio Code | %APPDATA%\Code\User\ (settings.json, keybindings.json, snippets/), %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\ | Settings, keybindings, snippets copied to ~/.config/Code/User/, extension list saved to vscode-extensions.txt for reinstall |
| Communications | Discord, Slack, Spotify, Telegram Desktop | App detection identifies installed clients; session classification indicates portable (Telegram tdata) or signin (cloud-backed Discord/Spotify/Slack) |
| Creative / Media | VLC, GIMP, OBS Studio | Config/scene structures identified and mapped to Flathub package IDs in bridge-apps.json |
| Gaming | Steam (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\libraryfolders.vdf) | Steam library directories registered with Linux Steam |
| Registry Manifest | HKCU/HKLM Uninstall keys, UrlAssociations (default browser/mail), Run keys | Scanned by programs_windows.go into C:\wootc\install\programs.json and merged by wootc-detect-apps |
| Personalization | Wallpapers, Dark Mode theme keys, DWM accent color | Harvested by slurp_windows.go into slurp.json and applied by wootc-apply-look |
Test Implementation & Execution
1. Fast Unit Tier (Sub-Second)
tests/unit/test_prefilled_profile.py: Python standalone unit test verifying the prefilled profile data structure, app detection mapping, browser format parsing, office dictionary extraction, and manifest discovery.tests/unit/prefilled-profile.bats: Bats unit test verifying migration scripts against a pre-filled profile fixture.
Run via:
tests/run.sh fast
2. Slow Integration Tier (Containerized)
tests/migration/test-bridge.sh: Containerized integration test running in a Fedora container. Testswootc-detect-apps,wootc-import-browser,wootc-office-bridge,wootc-steam-bridge,wootc-wsl-bridge,wootc-manifest, andwootc-mount-user-dirsagainst realistic multi-app profile fixtures.
Run via:
tests/run.sh slow
3. End-to-End VM Tier
tests/e2e/seed-profile.ps1: Automated PowerShell profile generator run inside Windows VMs before deployer reboot.tests/e2e/run-e2e.sh: Stagesseed-profile.ps1intoC:\OEMand executes it inseed_user_data()during the Windows phase, then verifies file visibility and app detection in Phase 2.tests/e2e/phase1/assert-phase1.ps1: Asserts Phase-1 state includingprograms.jsonregistry extraction and profile preconditions.
