# anytest [![Lint](https://github.com/timfjord/anytest-cli/actions/workflows/lint.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/timfjord/anytest-cli/actions/workflows/lint.yml) [![Test](https://github.com/timfjord/anytest-cli/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/timfjord/anytest-cli/actions/workflows/test.yml)



Run any test from your terminal.



Many test frameworks allow running a single test, but they all use different formats. The majority require to build quite complex queries that are hard to type and even remember. This tool aims to provide a unified way to run a single test by specifying only the file and the line number (following how RSpec/ExUnit/ESpec does that).

The tool is heavily inspired by the awesome [vim-test](https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test) plugin.



Currently, the following test frameworks are supported (and more are coming soon):



|       Language | Test framework | Identifiers       |

| -------------: | :------------- | :---------------- |

|     **Elixir** | ESpec, ExUnit  | `espec`, `exunit` |

| **JavaScript** | Jest           | `jest`            |

|     **Python** | pytest         | `pytest`          |

|       **Ruby** | RSpec          | `rspec`           |

|       **Rust** | Cargotest      | `cargotest`       |

|        **Zig** | Zigtest        | `zigtest`         |



Feel free to [open an issue](https://github.com/timfjord/anytest-cli/issues/new) with a test framework request as those test frameworks will be added first.



## Installation



Currently, `anytest` is distributed via [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/anytest) so Rust is required to install it.

To install Rust, follow the instructions on the [official Rust website](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install).



To build `anytest` from source use:



```sh

cargo install anytest

```



## Usage



It is as simple as running `anytest :`:



```sh

anytest tests/test_rust.rs:10

```



The tool supports the following scopes:



- `suite` - run the whole suite

- `file` - run all tests in the file

- `line` - run the test at the specified line



When the the path is specified with the line number (e.g. `anytest tests/test_rust.rs:10`), the scope is automatically set to `line`.

When the path is specified without the line number (e.g. `anytest tests/test_rust.rs`), the scope is automatically set to `file`.



The scope can be explicitly set with the `--scope`/`-s` flag:



```sh

anytest tests/test_rust.rs:10 -s file

```



By default, `anytest` uses the current working directory as the root directory. The root directory can be explicitly set with the `--root`/`-r` flag:



```sh

anytest anytest-cli/tests/test_rust.rs:10 -r anytest-cli

```



When the root directory is specified, the path to the test can be either relative to the root (e.g. `anytest tests/test_rust.rs:10 -r anytest-cli`) or relative to the current working directory (e.g. `anytest anytest-cli/tests/test_rust.rs:10 -r anytest-cli`).



To run the tool in the dry-run mode, use the `--dry-run`/ flag:



```sh

anytest tests/test_rust.rs:10 --dry-run

```



To see the list of all available options, run:



```sh

anytest --help

```



## Usage with Zed



Even though `anytest` is a standalone tool, the main driver behind writing it was to use it with [Zed](https://zed.dev).

Currently, Zed has limited extension support, so the only way to integrate `anytest` with Zed is to use [Zed tasks](https://zed.dev/docs/tasks).



The repository contains [an example `tasks.json` file](https://github.com/timfjord/anytest-cli/blob/main/examples/tasks.json) that can be copied to the Zed configuration directory with the following command:



```sh

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timfjord/anytest-cli/main/examples/tasks.json -O ~/.config/zed/tasks.json -nc

```



Please note that the command above won't overwrite the existing `tasks.json` file. Remove the `-nc` flag to overwrite the existing file.



Once the tasks are set up, either pick the `task: spawn` command from the Command Palette or add keybindings to run the tests.



```json

[

  {

    "context": "Workspace",

    "bindings": {

      "cmd-j cmd-s": ["task::Spawn", { "task_name": "anytest: test suite" }],

      "cmd-j cmd-f": ["task::Spawn", { "task_name": "anytest: test file" }],

      "cmd-j cmd-l": ["task::Spawn", { "task_name": "anytest: test line" }]

    }

  }

]

```



## Usage with other crates



`anytest` also acts as a library crate and can be used in other Rust projects.



Currently, it exposes the `build_command` function that builds a [`std::process::Command`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/process/struct.Command.html) for the given context. See [tests/test_api.rs](https://github.com/timfjord/anytest-cli/blob/main/tests/test_api.rs) for more details.



```rust

use anytest::{Context, Scope};



let context = Context::new(

    Some("tests/fixtures/cargotest/crate"),

    "tests/integration_test.rs",

    Some(3),

    Some(Scope::Line),

)

.unwrap();

let command = anytest::build_command(&context).unwrap();



assert_eq!(command.get_program(), "cargo");

assert_eq!(

    command

        .get_args()

        .map(|arg| arg.to_str().unwrap())

        .collect::>(),

    vec![

        "test",

        "--test",

        "integration_test",

        "it_adds_two",

        "--",

        "--exact"

    ]

);

```



## Contribution



The easiest way to add a new test framework is to find it either in [the `AnyTest` repository](https://github.com/timfjord/AnyTest/tree/main/plugin/test_frameworks) or [the `vim-test` repository](https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test/tree/master/autoload/test) and try to adapt it.

It is also required to cover the test frameworks with tests. Tests and fixtures can be also found in either [the `AnyTest` repository](https://github.com/timfjord/AnyTest/tree/main/tests/test_frameworks) or [the `vim-test` repository](https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test/tree/master/spec)

`anytest` is heavily inspired by the [vim-test](https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test) plugin so all credits go to the authors and maintainers of this awesome Vim plugin.
