Howdy, I am using clojure.test and have some questions of how to write idiomatic Clojure. This really isn't about testing at all per-se.
First - I know about fixtures to get (at least) the same as JUnit's before/after behaviour. My code is a bloomy. You can configure the bloomy and it does different things based on that behaviour. Pretty much every test has a different bloomy, *and* that bloomy must be elegantly shut down. How should I handle this? At the moment I have the most un-idiomatic way and blunt way of : [code] (deftest my-test (let [bloomy (create-a-bloomy] (try (do-something-with-my-bloomy) (is (=....)) (finally (shut-down bloomy)))) [/code] Yep, try/finally in every test - reminds me of early JDBC libraries before Spring :). If I understand it correctly, I would end up writing a separate fixture for each and every test, or at least each any every unique set of test context. I did consider writing a "(defn with-bloomy [bloomy test] (try (test) (finally (shut-down bloomy))))" but I couldn't figure out how to pass my bloomy into the test itself. I also received lots of "assertion not in expectation" type errors. To be explicit I would use this as "(with-bloomy (create-a-bloomy) (deftest...)))". I did consider a variation on the above of passing in a function which only contained the assertions, so "(deftest my-test (let [bloomy...] (with-bloomy bloomy #(is (= 1 (get-something bloomy)))))" but I also ran into similar "assertion not in expectation" type errors, and the indentation in emacs was insane. I expect a macro might be the answer? So, how would you solve this? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
