TestSetExtensions

This package collects some extensions and convenience utilities to maximize your testing enjoyment. It builds on the new Test infrastructure in Julia v0.5 (also available in v0.4 with the BaseTestNext package). It's designed so that you shouldn't need to modify your tests at all if you're already using @testset and @test - all the interactions with this package happen at the top-level of your tests.

The ExtendedTestSet type makes your test output more readable. It outputs green dots as your tests pass, so you can have a sense of progress. It also displays diffs on test failure using the DeepDiffs package. To use it, simply add ExtendedTestSet as a custom testset type to your top-level @testset, and then use Test functions as usual. All nested testsets will use it automatically.

using Compat.Test
using TestSetExtensions

@testset ExtendedTestSet "All the tests" begin
    @testset "2nd-level tests 1" begin
        @test true
        @test 1 == 1
    end
    @testset "2nd-level tests 2" begin
        @test true
        @test 1 == 1
    end
end
