# `defmt-test`
> a test harness for embedded devices
## Basic usage
0. If you don't have a project setup yet, start from the [`app-template`], then proceed with step 3. If you have a project based on an old version of `app-template` then proceed with step 1.
[`app-template`]: https://github.com/knurling-rs/app-template
1. In the **testsuite** crate, add `defmt-test` to the dependencies:
``` diff
# testsuite/Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
+ defmt-test = "0.1.0"
```
2. Within the `testsuite/tests/test.rs` file, create a `tests` module and mark it with the `#[defmt_test::tests]` attribute. Within that module write `std`-like unit tests: functions marked with the `#[test]` attribute.
``` rust
// testsuite/tests/test.rs
#[defmt_test::tests]
mod tests {
#[test]
fn assert_true() {
assert!(true)
}
#[test]
fn assert_false() {
assert!(false, "TODO: write actual tests")
}
}
```
3. Run `cargo test -p testsuite` to run the unit tests
``` console
$ cargo test -p testsuite
(..)

└─ test::tests::__defmt_test_entry @ tests/test.rs:7

```
NOTE unit tests will be executed sequentially
## Adding state
An `#[init]` function can be written within the `#[tests]` module.
This function will be executed before all unit tests and its return value, the test suite *state*, can be passed to unit tests as an argument.
``` rust
// state shared across unit tests
struct MyState {
flag: bool,
}
#[defmt_test::tests]
mod tests {
#[init]
fn init() -> super::MyState {
// state initial value
super::MyState {
flag: true,
}
}
// this unit test doesn't access the state
#[test]
fn assert_true() {
assert!(true);
}
// but this test does
#[test]
fn assert_flag(state: &mut super::MyState) {
assert!(state.flag)
}
}
```
``` console
$ cargo test -p testsuite
0.000000 INFO running assert_true ..
└─ test::tests::__defmt_test_entry @ tests/test.rs:11
0.000001 INFO .. assert_true ok
