module Test

rascal-0.28.2

Usage​

import util::Test;

Dependencies​

extend Message;

Synopsis​

Provides occasionally useful access to Rascal's testing framework

Description​

Rascal's test framework can normally be accessed via UI and commandline interfaces:

  • Running as JUnit tests in IDEs
  • Running as JUnit tests from Maven
  • Executing the :test command in a Rascal REPL

This module provides a programmatic interface, and reports the test results as values. It can be handy to construct more UI components which interact with tests, but also to query larger volumes of failing tests.

data TestResult​

data TestResult  
     = \testResult(str name, bool success, loc src, str message = "", list[value] exceptions = [])
     ;

function runTests​

Synopsis​

Run all tests for the given module name

Description​

This function works under the assumption that the named module is available in the current execution environment.

list[TestResult] runTests(str moduleName)

Tests

test testTest​

private test bool testTest() = true;
