Testing Files and Attachments

This test contains instructions for the core team to manually test common attachment types. All files for testing are stored in the mm_file_testing Drive folder. Follow these instructions:

1. Download the entire mm_file_testing folder.
2. Drag and drop each file type into Mattermost to upload it (upload some as multiple attachments on the same post)
3. Post the file attachment

Notes:

• All file types should upload and post.
• Read the expected for details on the behavior of the thumbnail and preview window.
• The expected behavior of video and audio formats depends on the operating system, browser and plugins. View the permalinks to the Public Test Channel on Pre-Release Core to see the expected cases.
• If the browser can play the media file, media player controls should appear. If the browser cannot play the file, it should appear as a regular attachment without the media controls.
