simple-tests

This module exports some macros and procedures which help in debugging and testing. Two interfaces are supplied. The old interface is a straight-forward port of Peter Seibel's test suite in "Practical Common Lisp" to Chicken Scheme.

Notice the special meaning of dots and colons in the documentation. Two dots: Repeat the form to the left zero or one times, three dots: zero or many times four dots: one or many times. Colons to the left of dots group forms: the dots refer to as many forms as are enclosed by colons.

Common

simple-tests

[procedure] (simple-tests ..)

documentation-procedure; returns the list of exported symbols if called with no symbol, otherwise the signature of that exported symbol sym.

and?

[procedure] (and? xpr . xprs)

non-short-circuated and, which executes all side-effects.

writeln

[procedure] (writeln xpr . xprs)

like print, but writes expressions separated by a space in one line.

pe

[procedure] (pe macro-code)

pretty-prints expanded macro-code.

ppp

[syntax] (ppp xpr ...)

print each xpr quoted in a headline and pretty-print its computed value.

ppp*

[syntax] (ppp* xpr ypr . xpr-yprs)

print each xpr quoted in a headline, and pretty-print xpr's computed as well as its expected value, ypr.

ppp**

<macro>(ppp** ((var val) ...) xpr ypr . xpr-yprs)

wrap ppp* into a let.

xpr:val

[syntax] (xpr:val xpr ...)

print each xpr quoted in a headline and pretty-print its computed value, alias to ppp.

xpr:val*

[syntax] (xpr:val* xpr ypr . xpr-yprs)

alias to ppp*

==

[procedure] (==)
[procedure] (== x)
[procedure] (== type? type-equal?)

generic procedure. The first resets the local database, the second returns the curried equality operator, corresponding to x, and the third adds a new pair to the local database. Using (== x) for comparison, you needn't supply a special comparison operator, (== x) will do it for you.

Old interface

compound-test

[syntax] (compound-test (name) test ...)

This is the obligatory wrapper around each individual test predicate. Runs each test (usually created by define-test) in sequence and prints the results of each as well as a combined result. Exits with 0 or 1 depending on success or failure.

define-test

[syntax] (define-test (name . parameters) form . forms)

creates a test predicate, (name . parameters), to be called within compound-test. That predicate will test and report the results of all of its form arguments.

*locations*

global dynamic variable controlling location of possibly nested tests.

*failures*

global variable collecting failure information

New interface

check

[syntax] (check ((var val) ...) xpr ypr . xpr-yprs)

compares xpr and ypr .... with == in the environment defined by (var val)

define-checks

[syntax] (define-checks (name? verbose? var val . var-vals) xpr ypr . xpr-yprs)

defines a unary predicate, name?, with argument verbose?, which compares all pairs xpr ypr and prints a list of failures, if verbose? is #t or not given. Otherwise simply returns #t or #f, depending on the comparison of the pairs' items. If the verbose? argument in the generated predicate is missing, it's #t, so the output is verbose. Inside another check-predicate, it's usually #f, cf. arithmetic? below.

Comparison is done by the generic procedure ==. Each var val pair is translated into a let, supplying values to be used in test pairs.

do-checks

[syntax] (do-checks (name? verbose? var val . var-vals) xpr ypr . xpr-yprs)

alias to define-checks

check-all

[syntax] (check-all name check ...)

tests each check in sequence and names it.

Examples

 

(import simple-tests)

(define-test (+?)
  (= (+ 1 2) 3)
  (= (+ 1 2 3) 6))

(define-test (*?)
  (= (* 1 2) 2)
  (= (* 1 2 3) 6))

(define-test (arithmetic?)
  (+?)
  (*?))

(compound-test (simple-tests)
  (arithmetic?))

or, ALTERNATIVELY

(check ((lst '(0 1 2 3)))
  lst
  '(0 1 2 3)
  (car lst)
  0
  (cadr lst)
  1
  (cddr lst)
  '(2 3)
  )

(define-checks (+? verbose?)
  (+ 1 2) 3
  (+ 1 2 3) 6)

(define-checks (*? verbose?)
  (* 1 2) 2
  (* 1 2 3) 6)

(define-checks (arithmetic? verbose?)
  (+? #f) #t
  (*? #f) #t)

(check-all SIMPLE (+?) (*?) (arithmetic?))
