Testing

Frequently used links and commands

Mostly self explanatory except that running test in release mode can increase limits for things like stack overflow

For more information about these commands see cargo test -- --help.

cargo test -- --nocapture
cargo test -- --show-output # Seems to also show output that is not tied to a specific test (so needed sometimes)
cargo test -- --ignored
cargo test -r
cargo add --dev rstest
cargo add --dev strum -F derive,strum_macros

• Readme for rstest - To see examples of how to use it. (Not extracting the ones I use because each time I go back I find more I want to use). Documented how to do names because I keep looking it up, the name in the example is authorized_user (For more context search their docs that’s where it is taken from).

  #[case::authorized_user(alice())]
  

• docs.rs for strum - To see list of things that can be done with enums by this crate

Shared module for integration tests

Source: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch11-03-test-organization.html#submodules-in-integration-tests

Do tests/common/mod.rs and not tests/common.rs.

Testing CLI applications by running them

Source: https://rust-cli.github.io/book/tutorial/testing.html#testing-cli-applications-by-running-them

Don’t have more detailed notes other than the link because I decided to not actually run the program but just test the lib instead as the compiler will guide me to where updates need to happen instead of needing to run the test to see where updates are needed. But saving the link because I’ve looked it up quite a few times.
