What is the recommended approach for testing DocumentationProvider I've added for my language support plugin?
Answered
Hi!
I've added a documentation provider for my language support plugin: https://github.com/xonixx/intellij-awk/blob/main/src/main/java/intellij_awk/AwkDocumentationProvider.java. All seems to work good, I can test it manually in IDE.
But I would like to have this functionality unit-tested. I would prefer the E2E test of type: "take a sample source code and make sure that for the element under cursor the Ctrl-Q shortcut shows expected data". Lots of similar functionlity can be tested using CodeInsightTestFixture but I don't see any means of testing the documentation logic there.
What can be a recommended approach here?

and then assert the returned value i.e., from
Check ThemeJsonDocumentationProviderTest test as an example.
Thank you Jakub!
This indeed seems to be very close to what I need.
