A test suite for mil-tools

mil-tester : A test suite for mil-tools

This repository contains a rough first cut at a tester suite for mil-tools (https://github.com/habit-lang/mil-tools). It is cobbled together from assorted old tests for MIL and LC together with a small number of new tests. Some details in the ways that this test suite has been configured were motivated more by the goal of testing the implementation of tester than by the goal of testing mil-tools. I hope this will be a good starting point for a more substantial test suite, but there is much room here for rationalizing, reorganizing, and expanding the current version.

Basic requirements and instructions for use:

• Download and install tester (git clone https://github.com/zipwith/tester.git).

• Download and install mil-tools (git clone https://github.com/habit-lang/mil-tools) in a parallel repository (i.e., in ../mil-tools).

• Run the tests by using tester -r main.

• Check the documentation for tester for basic information about how test cases are defined, and then follow the examples in the main folder to create new test cases. (Note that it may be easier to create a new set of test cases, keeping main as a reference instead of modifying it directly.)
