# 🔬 microtest [![Crystal CI](https://github.com/Ragmaanir/microtest/actions/workflows/crystal.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Ragmaanir/microtest/actions/workflows/crystal.yml)

### Version 1.2.7

A small testing framework inspired by minitest/minitest.cr.

## Features

- This framework is opinionated
- It uses power asserts by default. There are no `assert_equals`, `assert_xyz`, just power asserts (except for `assert_raises`)
- It uses the spec syntax for test case structure (`describe`, `test`, `before`, `after`). Reasons: No test-case name-clashes when using describe. Not forgetting to call super in setup/teardown methods.
- No nesting of describe blocks. IMO nesting of those blocks is an anti-pattern.
- No let-definitions. Only before / after hooks. Use local variables mostly.
- Tests have to be started explicitly by `Microtest.run!`, no at-exit hook.
- Colorized and abbreviated exception stacktraces
- Randomized test order (SEED can be specified as environment variable)
- Focus individual tests (`test! "my test" do ...`)
- Different reportes (progress, descriptions, slow tests)

## Installation

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

```yaml
development_dependencies:
microtest:
github: ragmaanir/microtest
version: ~> 1.2.7
```

And add this to your `spec_helper.rb`:

```crystal
require "microtest"

include Microtest::DSL

Microtest.run!
```

## Usage

```crystal
class WaterPump
getter name : String
getter speed : Int32
getter? enabled : Bool = false

def initialize(@name, @speed = 10)
end

def enable
@enabled = true
end
end

describe WaterPump do
test "enabling" do
p = WaterPump.new("main")
p.enable

assert(p.enabled?)
end

test "pump speed" do
p = WaterPump.new("main", speed: 100)

assert(p.speed > 50)
end

test "this one is pending since it got no body"

pending "this one is pending even though it has a body" do
raise "should not raise"
end
end

```

Run the test with:

`crystal spec`

You can provide the seed to run the tests in the same order:

`SEED=123 crystal spec`

## Power Assert Output

```crystal
describe AssertionFailure do
test "assertion failure" do
a = 5
b = "aaaaaa"
assert "a" * a == b
end
end

```

### Microtest Test Output (microtest tests using progress reporter)

![missing](assets/spec.jpg?raw=true)

## Reporters

Use common reporter combinations:

```crystal
# both versions include error-list-, slow-tests- and summary-reporters:
Microtest.run!(:progress)
Microtest.run!(:descriptions)
```

Or select the used reporters explicitly:

```crystal
Microtest.run!([
Microtest::DescriptionReporter.new,
Microtest::ErrorListReporter.new,
Microtest::SlowTestsReporter.new,
Microtest::SummaryReporter.new,
] of Microtest::Reporter)
```

```crystal
describe First do
test "success" do
end

test "skip this"
end

describe Second do
def raise_an_error
raise "Oh, this is wrong"
end

test "first failure" do
a = 5
b = 7
assert a == b * 2
end

test "error" do
raise_an_error
end
end

```

### Description Reporter

### When focus active

```crystal
describe Focus do
test "not focused" do
end

test! "focused" do
end

test "focused too", :focus do
end
end

```

## Development

Run `./cli readme` to run tests and generate `README.md` from `README.md.ecr` and generate the images of the test outputs (using an alpine docker image).
