Features

Data-Driven Testing (DDT): Run the same test logic with multiple inputs.
Test Fixtures: Support for setup and teardown functions within a test module.
Procedural Macros: Easy-to-use attributes for defining test cases and fixtures.
Clean Output: Clear results for individual test cases.

Usage

This project is currently in alpha.

Requirements

Rust Version: 1.80.0 or higher
Edition: 2021

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dev-dependencies]
rust_test_framework = "0.1.3-alpha.1"

Example usage:

Inlined Parameters

Use #[test_params] to provide test cases directly in your code. You can stack multiple attributes for multiple test cases.

use rust_test_framework::test_params;

#[test_params(1, "one")]
#[test_params(2, "two")]
fn test_multiple_params(id: u32, label: &str) {
  assert!(id > 0);
  assert!(!label.is_empty());
}

Advanced Types and Rust-style Initialization

test_params supports idiomatic Rust syntax for structs, enums, Option, and Result.

use rust_test_framework::test_params;
use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct Point {
  x: i32,
  y: i32
}

#[derive(Deserialize, Debug, PartialEq)]
enum Kind {
  Small,
  Large(u32),
}

#[test_params(Point{ x: 1, y: 2 })]
fn test_struct(p: Point) {
  assert_eq!(p.x, 1);
}

#[test_params(Kind::Small)]
#[test_params(Kind::Large(100))]
fn test_enum(kind: Kind) {
  // ...
}

#[test_params(Some(42))]
#[test_params(None)]
fn test_option(val: Option<u32>) {
  // ...
}

External Data Sources

Use #[test_params_source] to load test cases from external files. It supports different source types via SourceType.

SourceType::JsonFile

use rust_test_framework::{test_params_source, SourceType};
use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct TestCase {
  a: i32,
  b: i32,
  expected: i32,
}

// This will generate a test case for each entry in `tests/data.json` 
// if it's a list or inject it as a single entry if it's an object.
#[test_params_source(JsonFile("tests/data.json"))]
fn test_addition(case: TestCase) {
  assert_eq!(case.a + case.b, case.expected);
}

// You can also use multiple parameters with external sources.
// Each entry in the JSON array should then be an array of values.
#[test_params_source(JsonFile("tests/multi_params.json"))]
fn test_multi(id: u32, name: String) {
  assert!(id > 0);
}

SourceType::JsonString

use rust_test_framework::{test_params_source, SourceType};
use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct Config {
    enabled: bool,
}

#[test_params_source(JsonString(r#"{"enabled": true}"#))]
fn test_config(cfg: Config) {
    assert!(cfg.enabled);
}

SourceType::PathMask

PathMask generates a test case for each file matching a glob pattern. The test function must accept exactly one parameter of type &Path or PathBuf.

use rust_test_framework::{test_params_source, SourceType};
use std::path::Path;

#[test_params_source(PathMask("tests/compile_tests/should_pass/*.rs"))]
fn test_files_compile(path: &Path) {
    // Each matching file will be passed to this function as a separate test case.
    assert!(path.exists());
}

Mixing Inline Parameters and External Sources

You can combine #[test_params] and #[test_params_source] to run a test with data from multiple sources.

use rust_test_framework::{test_params, test_params_source};
use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Deserialize, Debug, PartialEq)]
struct User {
  name: String,
  age: u32,
}

#[test_params_source(JsonFile("tests/user_single.json"))]
#[test_params_source(JsonFile("tests/users_list.json"))]
#[test_params(("Peter", 50))]
#[test_params(User { age: 50, name: "Patrick" })]
#[test_params(User { name: "Richard", age: 50 },
              User { name: "Robert", age: 50 })]
#[test_params_source(JsonString(r#"{"name": "StringSingle", "age": 50}"#))]
#[test_params_source(JsonString(r#"[
                                    {"name": "John", "age": 50},
                                    {"name": "Jane", "age": 50}
                                   ]"#))]
fn test_multiple_sources(user: User) {
  assert_eq!(user.age, 50);
}

Test Fixtures

Use #[test_fixture] on a module to enable #[setup] and #[teardown] functions.

use rust_test_framework::{test_fixture, setup, teardown};

#[test_fixture]
mod my_tests {
  use super::*;

  #[setup]
  fn set_up() {
    // This runs before each test in the module
    println!("Setting up...");
  }

  #[teardown]
  fn tear_down() {
    // This runs after each test in the module
    println!("Tearing down...");
  }

  #[test]
  fn test_example() {
    assert!(true);
  }
}
