require "../example_group"
module Spectator::DSL
# Domain specific language for the main structure of a spec.
# The primary components of this are `#describe`, `#context`, and `#it`.
#
# These macros define modules and classes.
# Those modules and classes are used to create the test cases.
#
# A class is created for every block of code that contains test code.
# An `#it` block creates a class derived from `RunnableExample`.
# A `#pending` block creates a class derived from `PendingExample`.
# The classes are built so that they run the example's code when invoked.
# However, the actual example code is placed into a separate "wrapper" class.
# This is done to avoid overlap with the Spectator namespace.
# The example code ends up having visibility only into itself and the DSL.
#
# Here's some skeleton code to demonstrate this:
# ```
# it "does something" do
# # Test code goes here...
# end
#
# # becomes...
#
# # Class describing the example
# # and provides a means of running the test.
# # Typically every class, module, and method
# # that the user might see or be able to reference is obscured.
# # Fresh variables from Crystal's macros are used to achive this.
# # It makes debugging Spectator more difficult,
# # but prevents name collision with user code.
# class Example123 < RunnableExample
# def initialize(group, sample_values)
# # group and sample_values are covered later.
# super
2019-02-10 08:20:30 +00:00
# @instance = Test123.new(sample_values)
# end
#
# # Returns the text provided by the user.
# # This isn't stored as a member
# # so that it can be referenced directly in compiled code.
# def what
# "does something"
# end
#
# # This method is called by `RunnableExample`
# # when the example code should be ran.
# def run_instance
2019-02-10 08:20:30 +00:00
# @instance._run123
# end
# end
#
# # Wrapper class for the example code.
# # This isolates it from Spectator's internals.
2019-02-10 08:20:30 +00:00
# class Test123
# include Context123 # More on this in a bit.
# include ExampleDSL # Include DSL for the example code.
#
# # Generated method name to avoid conflicts.
# def _run123
# # Test code goes here...
# end
# end
# ```
#
# Modules are used to provide context and share methods across examples.
# They are used as mix-ins for the example code.
# The example code wrapper class includes its parent module.
# This allows the example to access anything that was defined in the same context.
# Contexts can be nested, and this is achieved by including the parent module.
# Whenever a module or class is defined,
# it includes its parent so that functionality can be inherited.
#
# For example:
# ```
# describe "#foo" do
# subject { described_class.foo(value) }
#
# context "when given :bar" do
# let(value) { :bar }
#
# it "does something" do
# # ...
# end
# end
# end
#
# # becomes...
#
# # describe "#foo"

# described_class.foo(value)
# end
#
# # context "when given :bar"
2019-02-10 08:20:30 +00:00

# include Context123 # Inherit parent module.
#
# # Start a nested group.
# Builder.start_group("when given :bar")
#
# def value
# :bar
# end
#
# # Wrapper class for the test case.
2019-02-10 08:20:30 +00:00
# class Test456
# include Context456 # Include context.
#
2019-02-10 08:20:30 +00:00
# # Rest of test code...
# end
#
# # Example class for the test case.
# class Example456 < RunnableExample
# # Rest of example code...
# end
#
# # Add example to group.
# Builder.add_example(Example456)
#
# # End "when given :bar" group.
# Builder.end_group
# end
#
# # End "#foo" group.
# Builder.end_group
# end
# ```
#
# In addition to providing modules as mix-ins,
# example groups are defined with `#describe` and `#context`.
# The DSL makes use of `Builder` to construct the run-time portion of the spec.
# As groups are defined, they are pushed on a stack
# and popped off after everything nested in them is defined.
# `Builder` tracks the current group (top of the stack).
# This way, examples, hooks, nested groups, and other items can be added to it.
# Groups and examples are nested in a parent group.
# The only group that isn't nested is the root group - `RootExampleGroup`.
2018-11-06 21:05:41 +00:00
#
# Some example groups make use of sample values.
# Sample values are a collection of test values that can be used in examples.
# For more information, see `Internals::SampleValues`.

# Creates a new example group to describe a component.
# The `what` argument describes "what" is being tested.
# Additional example groups and DSL may be nested in the block.
#
# Typically when testing a method,
# the spec is written like so:
# ```
# describe "#foo" do
# it "does something" do
# # ...
# end
# end
# ```
#
# When describing a class (or any other type),
# the `what` parameter doesn't need to be quoted.
# ```
# describe String do
# it "does something" do
# # ...
# end
# end
# ```
#
# And when combining the two together:
# ```
# describe String do
# describe "#size" do
# it "returns the length" do
# # ...
# end
# end
# end
# ```
#
# The `#describe` and `#context` are identical in terms of functionality.
# However, `#describe` is typically used on classes and methods,
# while `#context` is used for use cases and scenarios.

# The `what` argument describes the scenario or case being tested.
# Additional example groups and DSL may be nested in the block.
#
# The `#describe` and `#context` are identical in terms of functionality.
# However, `#describe` is typically used on classes and methods,
# while `#context` is used for use cases and scenarios.
#
# Using context blocks in conjunction with hooks, `#let`, and other methods
# provide an easy way to define the scenario in code.
# This also gives each example in the context an identical situation to run in.
#
# For instance:
# ```
# describe String do
# context "when empty" do
# subject { "" }
#
# it "has a size of zero" do
# expect(subject.size).to eq(0)
# end
#
# it "is blank" do

#
# context "when not empty" do

#
# it "has a non-zero size" do
# expect(subject.size).to_not eq(0)
# end
#
# it "is not blank" do
# expect(subject.blank?).to be_false
# end
# end

# Creates an example group with a very concise syntax.
# This can be used in scenarios where one or more input values
# change the result of various methods.
# The normal DSL can be used within this context,
# but a shorter syntax provides an easier way to read and write multiple tests.
#
# Here's an example of where this is useful:
# ```
# describe Int32 do
# subject { described_class.new(value) }
#
# context "when given 5" do
# describe "#odd?" do
# subject { value.odd? }
#
# it "is true" do
# is_expected.to be_true
# end
#
# # NOTE: These could also be the one-liner syntax,
# # but that is still very verbose.
# end
#
# describe "#even?" do
# subject { value.even? }
#
# it "is false" do
# is_expected.to be_false
# end
# end
# end
#
# context "when given 42" do
# describe "#odd?" do
# subject { value.odd? }
#
# it "is false" do
# is_expected.to be_false
# end
# end
#
# describe "#even?" do
# subject { value.even? }
#
# it "is true" do
# is_expected.to be_true
# end
# end
# end
# end
# ```
#
# There's a lot of repetition and nested groups
# to test a very simple scenario.
#
# Using a `#given` block, this type of scenario becomes much more compact.
# ```
# describe Int32 do
# subject { described_class.new(value) }
#
# given value = 5 do
# expect(&.odd?).to be_true
# expect(&.event?).to be_false
# end
#
# given value = 42 do
# expect(&.odd?).to be_false
# expect(&.event?).to be_true
# end
# end
# ```
#
# One or more assignments can be used.
# Each assignment is passed to its own `#let`.
# For example:
# ```
# given x = 1, y = 2 do
# expect(x + y).to eq(3)
# end
# ```
#
# Each statement in the block is converted to the one-liner syntax of `#it`.
# For instance:
# ```
# given x = 1 do
# expect(x).to eq(1)
# end
# ```
# is converted to:
# ```
# context "x = 1" do
# let(x) { 1 }
#
# it expect(x).to eq(1)
# end
# ```
2019-01-09 22:08:01 +00:00
#
# Additionally, the "it" syntax can be used and mixed in.
# This allows for flexibility and a more readable format when needed.
# ```
# given x = 1 do
# it "is odd" do
# expect(x.odd?).to be_true
# end
#
# it is(&.odd?)
