Quick start

This is no replacement for reading the docs, but if you're particularly impatient to try it out, or if you already know Kaocha and need a quick reference how to set up a new project, then this guide is for you.

Add Kaocha as a dependency, preferably under an alias.

;; deps.edn
{:deps { ,,, }
 :aliases
 {:test {:deps {lambdaisland/kaocha {:mvn/version "0.0-153"}}}}}

Add a wrapper/binstub

mkdir -p bin
echo '#!/bin/bash' > bin/kaocha
echo 'clojure -A:test -m kaocha.runner "$@"' >> bin/kaocha
chmod +x bin/kaocha

Add a tests.edn at the root of the project, add a first test suite with test and source paths. Optionally set a reporter or load plugins.

#kaocha/v1
{:tests [{:id :unit
          :test-paths ["test/unit"]
          :source-paths ["src"]}]
 ;; :reporter kaocha.report.progress/progress
 ;; :plugins [kaocha.plugin/profiling]
 }

Run your tests

bin/kaocha

# Watch for changes
bin/kaocha --watch

# Exit at first failure
bin/kaocha --fail-fast

# Only run the `unit` suite
bin/kaocha unit

# Only run a single test
bin/kaocha --focus my.app.foo-test/bar-test

# Use an alternative config file
bin/kaocha --config-file tests_ci.edn

# See all available options
bin/kaocha --test-help
