Test helpers for DoubleDown contracts.
Start the ownership server in test/test_helper.exs:
DoubleDown.Testing.start()Then in your tests, register handlers per-contract:
setup do
DoubleDown.Testing.set_handler(MyApp.Todos, MyApp.Todos.InMemory)
:ok
endHandlers are process-scoped via NimbleOwnership, so async: true
tests are isolated. Use allow/3 to share handlers with child processes.
Summary
Functions
Allow a child process to use the current process's handlers.
Enable dispatch logging for a contract.
Retrieve the dispatch log for a contract.
Reset all handlers and logs for the current process.
Register a function as the handler for a contract.
Register a module as the handler for a contract.
Set the ownership server to global mode.
Restore the ownership server to private (per-process) mode.
Register a stateful handler for a contract.
Start the DoubleDown ownership server.
Functions
Allow a child process to use the current process's handlers.
Use this when spawning Tasks or other processes that need to dispatch through the same test handlers.
@spec enable_log(module()) :: :ok
Enable dispatch logging for a contract.
After enabling, all dispatches through X.Port will be recorded.
Retrieve with get_log/1.
Retrieve the dispatch log for a contract.
Returns a list of {contract, operation, args, result} tuples
in the order they were dispatched.
@spec reset() :: :ok
Reset all handlers and logs for the current process.
Register a function as the handler for a contract.
The function receives (operation, args) and returns the result.
Register a module as the handler for a contract.
The module must implement the contract's @behaviour.
@spec set_mode_to_global() :: :ok
Set the ownership server to global mode.
In global mode, all handlers registered by the calling process are
visible to every process in the VM — no allow/3 calls needed.
This is useful for integration-style tests that involve supervision
trees, named GenServers, Broadway pipelines, or Oban workers where
individual process pids are not easily accessible.
The calling process becomes the "shared owner". Any handlers set
by this process (before or after calling set_mode_to_global/0)
are accessible to all processes.
Warning
Global mode is incompatible with async: true. When global
mode is active, all tests share the same handlers, so concurrent
tests will interfere with each other. Only use global mode in
tests with async: false.
Call set_mode_to_private/0 to restore per-process isolation.
Example
setup do
DoubleDown.Testing.set_mode_to_global()
DoubleDown.Testing.set_handler(MyApp.Repo, MyApp.Repo.OpenInMemory)
on_exit(fn -> DoubleDown.Testing.set_mode_to_private() end)
:ok
end
@spec set_mode_to_private() :: :ok
Restore the ownership server to private (per-process) mode.
After calling this, handlers are once again scoped to the process
that registered them. Use this to clean up after set_mode_to_global/0.
Register a stateful handler for a contract.
The function may be 4-arity or 5-arity:
- 4-arity:
fn contract, operation, args, state -> {result, new_state} end - 5-arity:
fn contract, operation, args, state, all_states -> {result, new_state} end
5-arity handlers receive a read-only snapshot of all contract states as
the 5th argument. This enables cross-contract state access (e.g. a Queries
handler reading the Repo InMemory store). The all_states map is keyed by
contract module and includes a DoubleDown.Contract.GlobalState sentinel key.
The handler must return only its own contract's new state — not the global map.
State is stored in NimbleOwnership and updated atomically on each dispatch.
Start the DoubleDown ownership server.
Call this once in test/test_helper.exs.
