CKEditor: Checklist for manual tests

indigoxela edited this page Feb 26, 2025 · 6 revisions

Work in progress - list of things to manually test with new versions of CKEditor 5. If something's missing, please complement, or report in our chat.

Core functionality

  • Link dialog and balloon toolbar
  • Image dialog (open it, upload or select image and insert, replace image)
  • Image caption toggle
  • Image alignment
  • Image drag-and-drop upload
  • Styles configuration and usage in content
  • Try different editor toolbar setups (less toolbar buttons, more toolbar buttons, different button combinations)
  • Nested tags like tables or lists (save and then re-open the editor)

Caused trouble in the past

Code block indent lost

Add a code block (pre) to content, which contains indentation. Save the node, open the node form again.

Correct behavior: Code block indent is the same.

Lists trigger reformat warning

Add a list (ol or ul) to content, save the node, open the node form again.

Correct behavior: Editor initializes without warnings, the list is unchanged.

The problem not only occurs with lists, but also with any nested tag structure, like tables or paragraphs nested in blockquotes.
