Traditionally, SyncEvolution only modified remote data via syncing.
This is not enough because it does not cover data on the remote side
that SyncEvolution cannot sync.
The new tests solve this by using the command line's import/update
operations which modify data more or less directly.
Now we can test:
- downloading data created remotely
- uploading data via sync, export directly, compare
- simulate conflicts with changes made remotely
The download and upload test include full round-trips, i.e.
the initial transfer plus a change that needs to be synced back.
Because this is highly dependent on the exact data stored by the
peer, all these tests depend on per-peer test data and scripts
for modifying that data. The tests only get enabled if the test
data is found.
The initial test data covers Apple Calendar server, EDS<->EDS
and Google Contacts.
