Macro utest

macro_rules! utest {
    ( $id: ident, $setup:expr, $test:expr, $teardown:expr ) => { ... };
}

Macro implementing the 3 phases setup/test/teardown

Usage

The utest functionality supports the stable release of Rust-compiler since version 1.30.

#[cfg(test)]
extern crate test_generator_utest;

// demonstrating usage of utest-harness
mod testsuite {
    use std::fs::File;
    use std::io::prelude::*;

        |ctx|teardown(ctx));

    utest!(hello_europe,
        || setup("/tmp/hello_europe.txt"),
        test_write_hello_europe,
