.D(*description, &block) ⇒ Object

Defines a new test composed of the given description and the given block to execute.

This test may contain nested tests.

Tests at the outer-most level are automatically insulated from the top-level Ruby environment.

Examples:


D "a new array" do
  D .< { @array = [] }

  D "must be empty" do
    T { @array.empty? }
  end

  D "when populated" do
    D .< { @array.push 55 }

    D "must not be empty" do
      F { @array.empty? }
    end
  end
end

Parameters:

  • description (Object, Array<Object>) —

    A brief title or a series of objects that describe the test being defined.

# File 'lib/difects.rb', line 106

def D *description, &block
  create_test @tests.empty?, *description, &block
end

.D!(*description, &block) ⇒ Object

Defines a new test that is explicitly insulated from the tests that contain it and also from the top-level Ruby environment.

This test may contain nested tests.

Examples:


D "a root-level test" do
  @outside = 1
  T { defined? @outside }
  T { @outside == 1 }

  D "an inner, non-insulated test" do
    T { defined? @outside }
    T { @outside == 1 }
  end

  D! "an inner, insulated test" do
    F { defined? @outside }
    F { @outside == 1 }

    @inside = 2
    T { defined? @inside }
    T { @inside == 2 }
  end

  F { defined? @inside }
  F { @inside == 2 }
end

  • description (Object, Array<Object>) —

    A brief title or a series of objects that describe the test being defined.

.E(*kinds_then_message, &block) ⇒ Object

Asserts that one of the given kinds of exceptions is raised when the given block is executed.

Examples:

Parameters:

  • kinds_then_message (...) —

    Exception classes that must be raised by the given block, optionally followed by a message to show in the test execution report if this assertion fails.

    If no exception classes are given, then StandardError is assumed (similar to how a plain ‘rescue’ statement without any arguments catches StandardError).

Returns:

  • If the block raises an exception, then that exception is returned.

    Otherwise, nil is returned.

single exception given


E!(ArgumentError) { raise ArgumentError } # fails
E!(ArgumentError, "argument must be invalid") { raise ArgumentError }

multiple exceptions given


E!(SyntaxError, NameError) { eval "..." }

.S(identifier, &block) ⇒ Object

Mechanism for sharing code between tests.

If a block is given, it is shared under the given identifier. Otherwise, the code block that was previously shared under the given identifier is injected into the closest insulated DIFECTS test that contains the call to this method.

Examples:


S :knowledge do
  #...
end

D "some test" do
  S :knowledge
end

D "another test" do
  S :knowledge
end

Parameters:

  • identifier (Symbol, Object) —

    An object that identifies shared code. This must be common knowledge to all parties that want to partake in the sharing.

end

D "another test" do
  S :knowledge
