# Amrita

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/josephwilk/amrita.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/josephwilk/amrita)

A polite, well mannered and thoroughly upstanding testing framework for [Elixir](http://elixir-lang.org/).

![Elixir of life](http://s2.postimg.org/kmlrx9dp5/6337_33695901.jpg)

## Install

Add to your mix.exs

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

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

```console
mix deps.get
```

## Getting started

Ensure you start Amrita in: test/test_helper.exs
```elixir
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:

```elixir
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:

```shell
$ 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:

```elixir
defmodule Polite do
def swear? do
false
end

def swear?(word) do
false
end
end
```

#### A Simple mock
```elixir
fact "mock with a wildcard" do
provided [Polite.swear? |> true] do
Polite.swear? |> truthy
end
end
```

#### Wildcard matchers for argument

```elixir
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
```elixir
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
```elixir
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
```

#### Polite Errors explaining when things went wrong

## Checkers

Amrita is also all about checker based testing!

```elixir
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:

```elixir
# 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:

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

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

## Polite error messages:

Amrita tries its best to be polite with its errors:

## Bloody good show

Thanks for reading me, I appreciate it.

Have a good day.

Maybe drink some tea.

Its good for the constitution.
