Hey!
I'm currently working on elm-doc-test
https://github.com/stoeffel/elm-doc-test.
Elm-doc-test is a tool that turns doctests (like python's doctest) into
elm-tests and you can then run them using elm-test.
There are some advantages with this approach, like nice assertion messages
and compiler errors for broken doctests (see repo for examples).
Richard, Noah and I had a discussion about the syntax for writing doctests
(in https://github.com/stoeffel/elm-doc-test/pull/10) and I opened an issue
to continue the discussion
(https://github.com/stoeffel/elm-doc-test/issues/12).
the current syntax is:
` >>> ` for an assertion, ` ... ` if the assertion needs more than
one line and the following lines indented with 4 spaces is the expectation.
```
{-|
>>> indexOfLineWithEquals
... <| Array.fromList
... <| String.lines "a\nb\nc = d\nf = d\n"
2
>>> indexOfLineWithEquals
... <| Array.fromList
... <| String.lines ""
0
-}
```
There are some alternatives in the issue using only one `>`.
As I stated in that issue I would like to keep the current syntax, because
it's more obvious that `>>>` is not part of the example and not elm code,
where `>` could easily be confused for a `gt` sign.
I would love to hear what the community thinks about the syntax.
Thanks Stöffel
