Amrita

A polite, well mannered and thoroughly upstanding testing framework for Elixir.

Elixir of life

Install

Add to your mix.exs

  defp deps do
    [
      {:amrita, "~>0.4", github: "josephwilk/amrita"}
    ]
  end

After adding Amrita as a dependency, to install please run:

mix deps.get

Getting started

Ensure you start Amrita in: test/test_helper.exs

Amrita.start

#Or if you want a more documentation focused formatter:

Amrita.start(formatter: Amrita.Formatter.Documentation)

Require test_helper.exs in every test (this will ensure Amrita is started):
Mix in Amrita.Sweet which will bring in everything you need to use Amrita:

Code.require_file "../test_helper.exs", __ENV__.file

defmodule ExampleFacts do
  use Amrita.Sweet

  fact "addition" do
    1 + 1 |> 2
  end
end

Run your tests through mix:

$ mix amrita # Run all your tests

$ mix amrita test/integration/t_mocks.ex # Run a specific file

$ mix amrita test/integration/t_mocks.ex:10 # Run a specific test at a line number

$ mix amrita --trace # Show execution time for slow tests

Now time to write some tests!

Prerequisites / Mocks

Amrita supports BDD style mocks.

Examples:

defmodule Polite do
  def swear? do
    false
  end

  def swear?(word) do
    false
  end
end

A Simple mock

fact "mock with a wildcard" do
  provided [Polite.swear? |> true] do
    Polite.swear? |> truthy
  end
end

Wildcard matchers for argument

fact "mock with a wildcard"
  provided [Polite.swear?(_) |> true] do
    Polite.swear?(:yes) |> truthy
    Polite.swear?(:whatever) |> truthy
  end
end

Powerful custom predicates for argument matching

fact "mock with a matcher function" do
  provided [Polite.swear?(fn arg -> arg =~ ~r"moo") |> false] do
    Polite.swear?("its ok to moo really") |> falsey
  end
end

Return values based on specific argument values

fact "mock with return based on argument" do
  provided [Polite.swear?(:pants) |> false,
            Polite.swear?(:bugger) |> true] do

    Funk.swear?(:pants) |> falsey
    Funk.swear?(:bugger) |> truthy
  end
end

Checkers

Amrita is also all about checker based testing!

Code.require_file "../test_helper.exs", __ENV__.file

defmodule ExampleFacts do
  use Amrita.Sweet

  facts "about Amrita checkers" do
    
    fact "`equals` checks equality" do
      1 - 10 |> equals -9      
      
      # For convience the default checker is equals
      # So we can write the above as
      1 - 10 |> -9
            
      # Pattern matching with tuples
      { 1, 2, { 3, 4 } } |> equals {1, _, { _, 4 } }

      # Which is the same as 
      { 1, 2, { 3, 4 } } |> {1, _, { _, 4 } }
    end

    fact "contains checks if an element is in a collection" do
      [1, 2, 4, 5] |> contains 4

      {6, 7, 8, 9} |> contains 9

      [a: 1, :b 2] |> contains {:a, 1}
    end

    fact "! negates a checker" do
      [1, 2, 3, 4] |> !contains 9999

     # or you can add a space, like this. Whatever tickles your fancy.

      [1, 2, 3, 4] |> ! contains 9999

      10 |> ! equal 11
    end

    fact "contains works with strings" do
      "mad hatters tea party" |> contains "hatters"

      "mad hatter tea party" |> contains ~r"h(\w+)er"
    end

    fact "has_prefix checks if the start of a collection matches" do
      [1, 2, 3, 4] |> has_prefix [1, 2]

      {1, 2, 3, 4} |> has_prefix {1, 2}

      "I cannot explain myself for I am not myself" |> has_prefix "I"
    end

    fact "has_prefix with a Set ignores the order" do
      {1, 2, 3, 4} |> has_prefix Set.new([{2, 1}])
    end

    fact "has_suffix checks if the end of a collection matches" do
      [1, 2, 3, 4 ,5] |> has_suffix [4, 5]

      {1, 2, 3, 4} |> has_suffix {3, 4}

      "I cannot explain myself for I am not myself" |> has_suffix "myself"
    end

    fact "has_suffix with a Set ignores the order" do
      {1, 2, 3, 4} |> has_suffix Set.new([{4, 3}])
    end

    fact "for_all checks if a predicate holds for all elements" do
      [2, 4, 6, 8] |> for_all even(&1)

      # or alternatively you could write

      [2, 4, 6, 8] |> Enum.all? even(&1)
    end

    fact "odd checks if a number is, well odd" do
      1 |> odd
    end

    fact "even checks is a number if even" do
      2 |> even
    end

    fact "roughly checks if a float within some +-delta matches" do
      0.1001 |> roughly 0.1
    end

    fact "falsey checks if expression evalulates to false" do
      nil |> falsey
    end

    fact "truthy checks if expression evaulates to true" do
      "" |> truthy
    end

    defexception Boom, message: "Golly gosh"

    fact "raises checks if an exception was raised" do
      fn -> raise Boom end |> raises ExampleFacts.Boom
    end
  end

  future_fact "I'm not run yet, just printed as a reminder. Like a TODO" do
    # Never run
    false |> truthy
  end

  fact "a fact without a body is much like a TODO"

  # Backwards compatible with ExUnit
  test "arithmetic" do
    assert 1 + 1 == 2
  end

end

Assertion Syntax with |>

The syntax for assertions is as follows:

# Equality check
ACTUAL |> [EXPECTED]
# Not equal check
ACTUAL |> ! [EXPECTED]

# Using a checker function
ACTUAL |> CHECKER [EXPECTED]
# or negative form
ACTUAL |> !CHECKER [EXPECTED]

##Custom checkers

Its simple to create your own checkers:

  defchecker a_thousand(actual) do
    rem(actual, 1000) |> equals 0
  end

  fact "about 1000s" do
    1000 |> a_thousand   # true
    1200 |> ! a_thousand # true
  end
