==Running Updoc==
+
-
 
+
-
In [[E-on-Java]], the program <code>scripts/updoc.e</code> runs Updoc tests. It takes one argument which is an Updoc file or a directory containing them. Updoc may be by itself, embedded in E source, or embedded in HTML.

An updoc test failure occurs when the actual answers resulting from evaluation  are not equal (except for stack traces) to the expected answers written in the test script.

===Printing===

-
 
+
-
In the Updoc [[environment]], the text printed via the output objects <code>stdout</code>, <code>stderr</code>, <code>print</code>, and <code>println</code> is part of the results checked.
+
-
 
+
-
Semantics: stdout and stderr write to separate buffers. At the following times in the execution of each step, the contents of each buffer, if nonempty, are moved into answers named "stdout" and "stderr":
+
-
* after evaluation of the step, but before the <code>value</code> is printed
+
-
* after interp.waitAtTop/blockAtTop pauses and after all turns queued by the step have executed, but before the evaluation of the next step
