A Clojure(Script) library for data generation and generative testing with https://github.com/plumatic/schema and clojure.test.check.

This is an alpha release. The API and organizational structure are subject to change. Comments and contributions are much appreciated.

--

This library provides two experimental forms of automatic test data generation from schemas.

(require '[schema-generators.complete :as c] '[schema-generators.generators :as g])

(g/sample 3 Animal)
;; => ({:name "", :barks? false, :type :dog}
;;     {:name "", :claws? false, :type :cat}
;;     {:name "\"|", :claws? false, :type :cat})

(g/generate Tree)
;; => {:value -8N, :children [{:value 5, :children [{:value -2N, :children []}]}
;;                            {:value -2, :children []}]}

(c/complete {:type :dog} Animal)
;; => {:name "nL@", :barks? false, :type :dog}

The schema-generators.generators namespace can compile Schemas into clojure.test.check generators. All of the built-in schemas are supported out of the box, and it is easy to extend to add new types or customize generation on a per-type basis. See schema-generators.generators-test for some more complex examples.

Moreover, the schema-generators.complete namespace can build on generation to allow "completion" of partial data. Whereas generators and clojure.test.check are very useful tools for abstract property testing, completers are useful when we want to test the behavior of a function on a specific complex data structure, where only some parts of the data structure are relevant for the function under test. Completion supports all of the extensibility of generators, plus the ability to provide coercions to create very succinct helpers for test data generation. See schema-generators.complete-test for examples.

Testing

• Clojure - lein test
• ClojureScript - doo is used for running cljs tests. After setting up your environment, run lein doo {js-env} test
