This crate contains helper code for testing bindings. Our general system is to generate bindings for the libraries from the examples and fixtures directories, then execute a script that tests the bindings.
Each bindings crate can do this in a different way, but the typical system is:
UniFFITestHelper
struct to assist the processUniFFITestHelper.create_out_dir()
to create a temp directory to
store testing filesUniFFITestHelper.copy_cdylibs_to_out_dir()
to copy the dylib
artifacts for the example/fixture library to the out_dir
. This is needed
because the bindings code dynamically links to or loads from this library.UniFFITestHelper.get_compile_sources()
to iterate over (udl_path
,
uniffi_config_path
) pairs and generate the bindings from them. This step
is specific to the bindings language, it may mean creating a .jar file,
compiling a binary, or just copying script files over.
