7413 :: Best showcase of tests in Nim standard library?

• dogwater (orginal) [2021-01-22T08:01:51+01:00] view original

  I'm learning more about best practices around writing tests in Nim. I noticed some modules e.g. thttpclient.nim are relatively sparse and inconsistent in how the tests are written. Which stdlib module has the best set of tests for a newcomer to study?

  Testing in Nim is different than in the compiler. The compiler uses testament while the testing framework that is shipped with nim is unittest. unittest is pretty straightforward and easy to use. Check the documentation for unittest.

  There's something wrong with the unittest.html link in your post, it seems to link back to your post here on the forum.

  In the first line of Unittest documentation it says it's better to use testament :)

  Ya but AFAIK there isn't any documentation on testament

  https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/testament.html It's not perfect but it's there.
