Hi everyone !

I was looking to add unit tests to my toy project, and the documentation leads to a tool called testament.

Unfortunately, there is no documentation about it yet.

Until it comes, do you know some Nim projects that have unit tests working with testament so I can try to understand how it works ?

Thanks in advance and enjoy your sunday ☕🌞

The Nim compiler itself is a project that's using testament.

However, if you're just making a toy project, the unittest module should be suffice.

Thanks for the quick reply !

I will look into the code of the Nim compiler. But is there any other project I could look at ?

Even though I am currently toying with the language, I expect to build production grade application at some point, so I don't want to use already deprecated components.

The unittest module is not deprecated, at least not anytime soon. The amount of projects using it is huge, and there aren't many reasons to remove it afaik.

Ok, thanks for the clarification :)
