datatest-stable

datatest-stable is a very simple test harness intended to write data-driven tests, where individual test cases are specified as data and not as code. Given: * a test my_test that accepts a path as input * a directory to look for files in * a pattern to match files on

datatest_stable will call the my_test function once per matching file in the directory.

This meets some of the needs provided by the datatest crate when using a stable rust compiler without using the RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP hack to use nightly features on the stable compiler.

In order to setup data-driven tests for a particular test target you must do the following:

1. Configure the test target by setting the following in the Cargo.toml

toml [[test]] name = "<test target name>" harness = false

1. Call the datatest_stable::harness!(testfn, root, pattern) macro with the following parameters:
2. testfn - The test function to be executed on each matching input. This function must have the type fn(&Path) -> datatest_stable::Result<()>
3. root - The path to the root directory where the input files (fixtures) live. This path is relative to the root of the crate.
4. pattern - the regex used to match against and select each file to be tested.

The three parameters can be repeated if you have multiple sets of data-driven tests to be run: datatest_stable::harness!(testfn1, root1, pattern1, testfn2, root2, pattern2)

Examples

This is an example test. Use it with harness = false.

```rust use std::path::Path;

fn mytest(path: &Path) -> datateststable::Result<()> { // ... write test here

Ok(())

}

datateststable::harness!(mytest, "path/to/fixtures", r"^./"); ```
