assert_let_bind

A convenience macro for writing pattern-matching tests in the Rust programming language.

The assert_let macro tests whether a value matches a given pattern, binding the pattern in the current scope if the match succeeds and causing a panic if the match fails.

(Strongly inspired by assert_matches)

use assert_let_bind::assert_let;

#[derive(Debug)]
enum Foo {
    A(i32, i32),
    B(i32),
}

let foo = Foo::A(3000, 2000);

assert_let!(Foo::A(x, y), foo);
assert_eq!(x + y, 5000);

Generally speaking, assert_let(pattern, expr) is roughly equivalent to:

let pattern = expr else { panic!("some panic message with {} {}", pattern, expr)};

Usage

This macro relies on let else, and thus only compiles in nightly Rust for now.

To add it to your project:

cargo add assert_let_bind

To add it only to your tests:

cargo add --dev assert_let_bind
