Module `Core.Make`Source

Functor for building a tester that sequences tests of type ('a -> unit M.t) within a given concurrency monad M.t. The run and run_with_args functions must be scheduled in a global event loop. Intended for use by the Alcotest_lwt and Alcotest_async backends.

Parameters

module P : Platform.MAKER

module M : Monad.S

Signature

Sourcetype return = unit M.t

The return type of each test case run by Alcotest. For the standard Alcotest module, return = unit. The concurrent backends Alcotest_lwt and Alcotest_async set return = unit Lwt.t and return = Async_kernel.Deferred.t respectively.

Sourcetype speed_level = [

| `Quick
| `Slow

]

Speed level of a test. Tests marked as `Quick are always run. Tests marked as `Slow are skipped when the `-q` flag is passed.

Sourcetype 'a test_case = string * speed_level * ('a -> return)

A test case is a UTF-8 encoded documentation string, a speed level and a function to execute. Typically, the testing function calls the helper functions provided below (such as check and fail).

Sourceexception Test_error

The exception return by run in case of errors.

Sourceval test_case : string -> speed_level -> ('a -> return) -> 'a test_case

test_case n s f is the test case n running at speed s using the function f.

Sourcetype 'a test = string * 'a test_case list

A test is a UTF-8 encoded name and a list of test cases. The name can be used for filtering which tests to run on the CLI.

type 'a with_options =
  ?and_exit:bool ->
  ?verbose:bool ->
  ?compact:bool ->
  ?tail_errors:[ `Unlimited | `Limit of int ] ->
  ?quick_only:bool ->
  ?show_errors:bool ->
  ?json:bool ->
  ?filter:(name:string -> index:int -> [ `Run | `Skip ]) ->
  ?log_dir:string ->
  ?bail:bool ->
  ?record_backtrace:bool ->
  'a

The various options taken by the tests runners run and run_with_args:

and_exit (default true). Once the tests have completed, exit with return code 0 if all tests passed, otherwise 1.
verbose (default false). Display the test std.out and std.err (rather than redirecting to a log file).
compact (default false). Compact the output of the tests.
tail_errors (default unlimited). Show only the last N lines of output of failed tests.
quick_only (default false). Don't run tests with the `Slow speed level.
show_errors (default false). Display the test errors.
json (default false). Print test results in a JSON-compatible format.
log_dir (default "$PWD/_build/_tests/"). The directory in which to log the output of the tests (if verbose is not set).
bail (default false). If true, stop running the tests after the first failure.
record_backtrace (defualt true). Enable backtrace recording before beginning testing.

Sourceval run : (string -> unit test list -> return) with_options

Sourceval run_with_args : (string -> 'a -> 'a test list -> return) with_options

Sourceval list_tests : 'a test list -> return

Print all of the test cases in a human-readable form
