Task: Implement PDF fixture discovery for forms tests

Implementation Status: COMPLETE

The PDF fixture discovery functionality was already implemented in tests/forms_integration.rs.

Implementation Details

Location

/home/coding/pdftract/tests/forms_integration.rs

Function: discover_pdf_fixtures

Lines: 20-37

pub fn discover_pdf_fixtures<P: AsRef<Path>>(fixtures_path: P) -> Vec<PathBuf> {
    let mut pdf_files = Vec::new();

    let walker = WalkDir::new(fixtures_path)
        .follow_links(false)
        .into_iter()
        .filter_map(|e| e.ok())
        .filter(|e| {
            e.file_type().is_file()
                && e.path().extension().map(|ext| ext == "pdf").unwrap_or(false)
        })
        .map(|e| e.path().to_path_buf());

    pdf_files.extend(walker);
    pdf_files.sort();

    pdf_files
}

Features:

• Uses walkdir crate to recursively iterate through the fixtures directory
• Filters for files with .pdf extension
• Returns sorted Vec<PathBuf> of discovered PDF files
• Handles non-existent directories gracefully (returns empty vec)

Test: test_discover_pdf_fixtures

Lines: 40-58

#[test]
fn test_discover_pdf_fixtures() {
    let fixtures_dir = "tests/fixtures/forms";
    let pdf_files = discover_pdf_fixtures(fixtures_dir);

    println!("\n=== Discovered PDF Fixtures ===");
    if pdf_files.is_empty() {
        println!("No PDF files found in {}", fixtures_dir);
    } else {
        for pdf_path in &pdf_files {
            println!("  - {}", pdf_path.display());
        }
        println!("Total: {} PDF file(s)", pdf_files.len());
    }
    println!("==============================\n");

    // Test that the function runs without errors
    let _ = pdf_files;
}

Features:

• Prints discovered fixture names when run (with --nocapture flag)
• Handles empty result gracefully
• Does not assert on count (flexible for fixture addition/removal)

Acceptance Criteria Verification

PASS - Function discovers all .pdf files in tests/fixtures/forms/

The discover_pdf_fixtures function uses walkdir to recursively find all .pdf files in the given directory.

PASS - Test prints discovered fixture names when run

Running cargo test --test forms_integration test_discover_pdf_fixtures -- --nocapture prints the fixture names.

PASS - Handles non-existent directory gracefully (empty vec)

When the directory has no PDF files or doesn't exist, walkdir returns an empty iterator, resulting in an empty vec. The test handles this case by printing "No PDF files found".

PASS - No compilation errors

Test compiled and ran successfully with zero compilation errors.

Test Execution Output

=== Discovered PDF Fixtures ===

Notes

• The implementation uses the walkdir crate which is already a dependency
• The function is public and can be reused by other test modules
• The test follows the project's pattern of fixture discovery used in other test modules
• The tests/forms_integration.rs file also includes a test_forms_extraction test that uses the discovery function to process all discovered fixtures
