Hello,

I'm struggling to find a way to to use the fdef specs I wrote in 
clojure.test tests. I can run them fine in the repl with spec/exercise-fn 
or spec.test/check, really nice when developping by the way. Now that I'm 
happy with the result I'd like to encode this knowledge in tests to prevent 
regressions. I don't need more tests that this, not specific property etc.

I found no way to plug the spec.test/check in clojure.test or easily reuse 
fdef specs. test.check/defspec and quickcheck expect properties as their 
argument. spec/describe return a LazySeq that I found hard to exploit 
without a lot of manual wiring, parsing and trial-and-errors.

If I had to write it by hand, it would look like :

(defspec myspec 100 (prop/for-all [one (spec/gen ::first-arg) 
                                                       two (spec/gen 
::second-arg)]
                                        (is (true? (spec/valid? ::ret-spec 
(myfunc one two))))

The problem is that it's incomplete with regards to spec possibilities : 
spec/or, spec/nilable etc. and I use them. Also I the function changes (in 
any way) the test becomes irrelevant instantly.

A colleague resorted to manually calling spec.test/check in clojure.test 
and manually verifying the output of the function (the :result boolean, the 
:num-tests etc.). Feels way too manual, and doesn't report the shrunk value 
as nicely as test.check does.


Maybe I missed something completely. spec/describe seems the best bet to 
introspect the spec and use it in for-all calls. But still too manual.

Any help much appreciated.
