Unit Testing Framework for ElixirScript.

Requires node.js 8.3.0 and above

Uses assertions from ExUnit as well as has a similar api to ExUnit with a few differences

Example

An basic setup of a test. Modified from ExUnit’s example

  # File: assertion_test.exs
  # 1) Create a new test module (test case) and use "ElixirScript.Test".
  defmodule AssertionTest do
    use ElixirScript.Test

    # 2) Use the "test" macro.
    test "the truth" do
      assert true
    end
  end

To run the test above, use the ElixirScript.Test.start/1 function, giving it the path to the test

ElixirScript.Test.start("assertion_test.exs")

Integration with Mix

To run tests using mix, run mix elixirscript.test. This will run all tests in the test_elixir_script directory.

Callbacks

ElixirScript defines the following callbacks

• setup/1
• setup/2
• setup_all/1
• setup_all/2
• teardown/1
• teardown/2
• teardown_all/1
• teardown_all/2

The setup and setup_all callbacks work exactly as they would in ExUnit. Instead of having an on_exit callback, ElixirScript.Test has teardown callbacks. teardown is called after each test and teardown_all after all tests in the file have run.

  defmodule AssertionTest do
    use ElixirScript.Test

    # run before test
    setup do
      admin = create_admin_function()
      [admin: admin]
    end

    test "the truth", %{admin: admin} do
      assert admin.is_authenticated
    end

    # run after test
    teardown, %{admin: admin} do
      destroy_admin_function(admin)
    end
  end
