Lazy Search Plugin Test Suite

The plugin has now become quite complex and there are a lot of combinations of user action and database contents that mean that there can be problems in the plugin that are difficult to notice during normal operation.

This page therefore exists so I can list the tests that I've performed with the plugin so that I can re-run them in a repeatable way later for each major release.

Basic Plugin Navigation

1. Enter the plugin with the SEARCH key (configure the SEARCH key to behave this way first);
2. Press LEFT and ensure it leaves the mode;
3. Enter the plugin through Plugins->Lazy Search Music->;
4. Press LEFT and ensure it leaves the mode;
5. Perform an artist search;
6. Press LEFT and ensure that, after deleting all characters, it pops back out of the mode;
7. Perform an artist search;
8. Press RIGHT on a result, then LEFT and LEFT until all characters are deleted, the LEFT and ensure it leaves the search mode.
