UnitTest | SuperCollider 3.13.0 Help

Description

In order to make sure a method works correctly, a test can be implemented that assures the correct behavior.

It is a common practice to write tests to clarify how an object should respond, and it may avoid inconsistencies on the long run. A test is always a subclass of UnitTest, implementing at least one method starting with test_.

NOTE: UnitTests for the Common library classes are kept in the testsuite/classlibrary directory of the SuperCollider sources.

To install, download the sources and add the directory to your sclang_conf.yaml, either by editing it or via the ScIDE preferences.

Class Methods

.gui

A graphical interface to run and browse all testsUnitTest.gui

.runTest

Run a single test for methodName.

Arguments:

methodName

Should have the format "TestPolyPlayerPool:test_prepareChildrenToBundle"UnitTest.reset; UnitTest.runTest("TestUnitTest:test_assert");

.runAll

runs all subclasses of UnitTestUnitTest.reset; UnitTest.runAll;

.runTestClassForClass

runs testclass for a class

Arguments:

class	the class
reset	reset UnitTest environment
report	report on pass/fail

Instance Methods

.run

All method names that start with test_ are invoked.

Arguments:

reset	(describe argument here)
report	(describe argument here)

Returns:

(describe returnvalue here)TestUnitTest.new.run;

.runTestMethod

Run a single test method of this class

Arguments:

method

the method to runTestUnitTest.new.runTestMethod(TestUnitTest.findMethod(\test_assert));

Returns:

(describe returnvalue here)

Writing tests by subclassing UnitTest

Runs the test class for YourClass, which is assumed to be named TestYourClass.

If no test class if found it politely declines.

NOTE: UnitTests for the Common library classes are kept in the CommonTests quark. This enables you to easily install and uninstall these tests.

Make sure to implement the methods setUp and tearDown. They will be called before and after the test.

assert

Arguments:

test	Make sure that this returns a boolean, where `true` means that the test is passed.
message	posted if report is true.
onFailure	If not `nil`, a failure stops the tests and evaluates this function.UnitTest.new.assert(2 == 2, "Two does equal two."); UnitTest.new.assert(2 == 2.00001, "Two does equal two.");

assertFloatEquals

Make sure that the two floats a and b equal within a given range (within).

Arguments:

a	a float
b	a float
message	posted if report is true.
onFailure	If not `nil`, a failure stops the tests and evaluates this function.UnitTest.new.assertFloatEquals(2, 2.00001, "Two does equal two.", 0.00001); UnitTest.new.assertFloatEquals(2, 2.001, "Two does equal two.", 0.0001);

assertArrayFloatEquals

Make sure that the two arrays of floats a and b equal within a given range (within).

Arguments:

a	an `Array` of floats
b	an `Array` of floats
message	posted if report is true.
onFailure	If not `nil`, a failure stops the tests and evaluates this function.UnitTest.new.assertArrayFloatEquals([2, 3], [2, 3] + 0.00001, "Same Floats", 0.000001);
