I've managed to get something working. Very dirty and hardcoded most things
though, so not reusable at all. The key here is to parse the return of
spec/describe and retrieve the value for the :arg, convert it to real spec
with eval and retrieve its generator.
(defspec a-test
(let [args (nth (s/describe 'foo.core/bar) 2)
spec-code (map #(if (symbol? %) (symbol "clojure.spec.alpha"
(str %)) %) args)
spec (eval spec-code)
args-gen (s/gen spec)]
(prop/for-all [argz args-gen]
(s/valid? ::ret-spec (apply foo.core/bar argz)))))
In the end one shoot write a proper spec/describe parser ?
Or has someone a better idea ?
