Runt is a lightweight, parallel snapshot testing framework. It aims to enable snapshot testing with minimal configuration.
Install the latest version of runt
using:
cargo install runt
Runt is most useful when you have the following test setup: - One command that needs to run on many input files. - Test suites grouped by commands run on the files. - Test outputs are sent to IO streams (stdout and stderr).
Runt is not useful when you want to do: - Rich introspective testing of data structures. - Test suites with complex setups, dependencies, and teardowns.
Snapshot testing with runt is extremely flexible. For example, the tests
under runt-cli-test
test the outputs of the runt CLI.
Showing diffs: By default, runt does not show diffs between the new output
and the expect file. Use --diff
to show the diffs.
Saving changes: The --save
flag overwrites the expect files to save the
updated outputs.
Suppress specific outputs: The --only
flag can be used to focus on only
failing, missing, or correct tests. It composes with the diff and save flags.
