RackUnit is a good tool, but the interface it provides is pretty bare-bones. It’s mostly just assertions, with a few grouping utilities like test-case and test-suite. The core is solid, but I think it would be nice to have BDD-style assertions on top, and I was wondering if such a project already existed in some form.
I’d also be rather curious if “spec-style” testing goes against the philosophy of Racket in any way. I know some people have strong, negative opinions about it, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard the reasons why articulated. If anyone expresses similar feelings, I’d be very interested in hearing them (especially since I know plenty of people who work on Racket spend a lot of time carefully considering language design). Otherwise, I may consider writing such a library on top of RackUnit, which I’d probably call rackunit-spec. Would there be any interest in such a package? I’d be curious to know what people’s opinions are on this. Thanks, Alexis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
