lib.rs

//! Test helpers for a CLI built with usage.
//!
//! A CLI's observable surface is three things: what a command line parses to, what a user is
//! shown when it does not, and what a shell offers while one is being typed. All three are
//! testable from the static tables the derive already emits — no process to spawn, no
//! terminal to fake — and none of them was pleasant to reach for. This crate is the reaching.
//!
//! What it is *not* is a second implementation of any of them. Every page here comes from
//! [`usage_argv::help::page`], the same function `parse()` renders a help request with, and
//! every failure from [`usage_argv::render_failure_plain`], the same renderer it prints with —
//! asked for plain text, so an assertion does not turn on whether stderr was a terminal. A
//! harness that renders its own approximation of a help page is a harness whose passing tests
//! mean nothing, so the rule is that nothing in this crate formats a page.
//!
//! ```
//! # use usage_argv::spec::Spec;
//! # fn ex(spec: &'static Spec<'static>) {
//! use usage_test as test;
//!
//! // What the tree's help looks like, all of it, in one snapshot.
//! let pages = test::help_tree(spec, test::Page::Long);
//!
//! // What a user sees when a command line does not parse.
//! let words = test::argv(["--nope"]);
//! let outcome = test::outcome(spec, &words.words(), some_cli_parse_from);
//! # fn some_cli_parse_from<'v>(
//! #     argv: &[&'v std::ffi::OsStr],
//! # ) -> Result<(), usage_argv::Error<'static, 'v>> {
//! #     Ok(())
//! # }
//! # let _ = (pages, outcome);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! Enable it as a dev-dependency feature of the facade:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dev-dependencies]
//! usage = { package = "usage-rs", version = "6", features = ["test"] }
//! ```
