# crotest
[![Build](https://github.com/emancu/crotest/actions/workflows/crystal.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/emancu/crotest/actions/workflows/crystal.yml)

A tiny and simple test framework for Crystal with common assertions and no pollution into `Object` class.

## Example

```crystal
require "crotest"

describe "DSL" do
it "defines small test cases" do
assert true
end

describe "nested describes for a better readability" do
it "has only a few assertions" do
var = false

reject var
assert_equal false, var
assert_raise Exception do
raise Exception.new("Boom!")
end
end
end

pending "tests are defined without a block"

pending "tests can also be defined with a block, which will not be executed" do
fail "This won't be executed :)"
end
end
```

## Installation

Add this to your application's `shard.yml`:

```yaml
dependencies:
crotest:
github: emancu/crotest
```

## Usage

```crystal
require "crotest"
```

Run your tests with `crystal spec`.

### Assertions

- `assert`
- `reject`
- `assert_equal`
- `assert_raise`

### Custom assertions

Extend the assertions used by `Crotest` is really easy.
You need to open the module `Crotest::Assertions` and add your assertions like the example below:

```crystal
require "crotest"

module Crotest::Assertions
macro assert_greater_than_4(value, file = __FILE__, line = __LINE__)
assert {{value}} > 4, "#{{{value}}} <= 4", {{file}}, {{line}}
end
end

it "supports my custom assertion" do
assert_greater_than_4 5
end
```

### Before/After blocks

If you need to run code _before_ or _after_ each test, declare each block like in the example below.
Remember to define `before/after` blocks before the corresponding `it` blocks.
Given this is not dynamically evaluated, we must define at the beginning of the file or `describe` block.

```crystal
before do
# First block to be executed
end

after do
# Fifth and last block to be executed
end

describe "a nested context" do
before do
# Second block to be executed
end

after do
# Fourth block to be executed
end

it "executes the before blocks and" do
# Third block to be executed
end
end
```
