kaocha.test — lambdaisland/kaocha 0.0-573

Work in progress.

This is intended to eventually be a drop-in replacement for clojure.test, with some improvements.

• deftest will kick-off a test run unless one is already in progress, for easy in-buffer eval

deftest clj macro

(deftest name & body)

Defines a test function with no arguments. Test functions may call other tests, so tests may be composed. If you compose tests, you should also define a function named test-ns-hook; run-tests will call test-ns-hook instead of testing all vars.

Note: Actually, the test body goes in the :test metadata on the var, and the real function (the value of the var) calls test-var on itself.

When load-tests is false, deftest is ignored.

is clj macro

(is form)

(is form msg)

Generic assertion macro. 'form' is any predicate test. 'msg' is an optional message to attach to the assertion.

Example: (is (= 4 (+ 2 2)) "Two plus two should be 4")

Special forms:

(is (thrown? c body)) checks that an instance of c is thrown from body, fails if not; then returns the thing thrown.

(is (thrown-with-msg? c re body)) checks that an instance of c is thrown AND that the message on the exception matches (with re-find) the regular expression re.

testing clj macro

(testing string & body)

Adds a new string to the list of testing contexts. May be nested, but must occur inside a test function (deftest).
