dessert :cake:
=======

- Dessert is a lightweight unit-testing framework (C++11).
- Dessert is smart. LHS, RHS values are automatically outstreamed when tests fail.
- Dessert is tiny. 100 LOC. Barebone suite is only a single `dessert()` macro.
- Dessert is easy to integrate. Single file, header-only.
- Dessert is cross-platform. No extra dependencies.
- Dessert is handy. Optional breakpoints and interruption on selected tests.
- Dessert is zlib/libpng licensed.

### Quick tutorial
Replace any `assert()` with `dessert()`. That's it. Piece of cake :cake:

```c++
#include "dessert.hpp"

int main() {
int a = 1, b = 2;
dessert( a < b );
dessert( a > b );
}
```

### Possible output
```
[ OK ] Test 1 at tiny.cc:5 (0.000000 s)
[FAIL] Test 2 at tiny.cc:6 (0.000000 s)
a > b
1 > 2
(unexpected)

[FAIL] Failure! 1/2 tests failed :(
Breakpoints: 0 (*)
Total time: 0.001000 seconds.
```

### API
- `dessert(expr) << optional << messages << here` macro expects given expression to be `true`.
- if test passes, some info is printed, then expression returns `true`
- if test fails, lhs, rhs (and optional messages) are printed, then expression returns `false`
- `desserts(title...) { /*code...*/ }` suite of dessert tests.
- if `before main()` is found on `title`, then suite is executed before `main()` is run.
- else suite is executed after `main()` is run (default behaviour).
- `throws( /*code...*/ )` macro expects `[code...]` to throw any exception.
- returns `true` if code throws any exception, else returns `false`

### Breakpoints
- Invoke debugger at runtime by setting `BREAKON` environment variable to the specified test number.

### Sample usage
```c++
~/dessert>
~/dessert> cat sample.cc

#include
#include "dessert.hpp"

desserts() {
int a = 1, b = 2;
dessert( a < b );
dessert( a > b );
}

desserts() {
dessert( 1 < 2 ) << "test shall pass; comment built on " << __TIME__ << " " << __DATE__;
dessert( 1 > 2 ) << "test shall fail; phone Aristotle (+30 " << 23760 << ") if this test fails";
}

desserts( "Tests before main()" ) {
if( dessert( 1 < 2 ) ) {
// ok
} else {
// handle error here
}
}

desserts( "Tests after main()" ) {
dessert( throws(
std::string hello = "world";
hello.at(10) = 'c';
) ) << "test shall pass, exception thrown";

dessert( throws(
std::string hello = "world";
hello += hello;
) ) << "test shall fail, no exception thrown";
}

int main()
{}
