Quick Start

First create some test functions in Axon. Test functions are typically prefixed with test, take no arguments, and optionally return okay to signify just that.

testPassExample : () => do
  expected : "foo bar"
  actual   : "foo bar" // this bit should do some work!

  // assert the result
  verifyEq(expected, actual)

  "okay"
end

testFailExample : () => do
  expected : "foo bar"
  actual   : "poo"

  // assert the result
  verifyEq(expected, actual)

  "okay"
end

Then pass them to the test runner to have them executed.

// run tests
[
  testPassExample,
  testFailExample
].runTests()

Results are returned in a handy grid:

Version Notes

v0.0.10

• Chg: verifyEq() and verifyNotEq() are more lenient when testing Lists and Dicts. (e.g. the backing Fantom List type is ignored, Etc.dictEq() is now used but also patched for this bug.)

v0.0.8

• Chg: Ensure the Axon trace is captured by runTests() results. (Thanks go to John MacEnri / Crawley Carbon for the pull requst.)

v0.0.6

• Chg: Renamed extension from axont to afAxont for consistency with other Alien-Factory products.

v0.0.4

• New: Added setup and teadown to runTests() options.
• New: Created alien icon for ext.
• Chg: verifyErr returns the err msg should you wish to perform further (regex) tests on it.

v0.0.2

• New: Preview release, created to test Axonator - the Axon source code encryptor and obfuscator.
