In my test framework, Midje, http://github.com/marick/Midje, a test written in the most heavily syntactically-sugared form might look like this:
(facts (complicated-function ...some-integer...) => 5 (provided (simple-function ...some-integer...) => 2 (other-function ...some-integer...) => 3 ...some-integer... => even?) ...) A test failure could be associated with any point where there's an arrow. Because (fact) is a macro, the straightforward way of getting the line number gets the line number of the very beginning of the form. Is there a clever way to get the line number of the arrows? (There's no hook into the reader, is there?) What I'm going to do unless you save me is two things: 1) the failure messages will tell you the failure is associated with, say, the 3rd arrow. 2) When emacs sends the form down to the interpreter, I'll have it annotate it with the correct line numbers. That way, a simple keyboard gesture will take me to the failing line. Better ideas for fallbacks? ----- Brian Marick, independent consultant Mostly on agile methods with a testing slant Author of /Programming Cocoa with Ruby/ www.exampler.com, www.exampler.com/blog, www.twitter.com/marick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
