Expectations – a minimalist’s unit testing framework – is being re-launched!

 

adding signal, removing noise

 

Jay Fields’ awesome unit testing library and all of the associated tooling has 
now been pulled together under a single GitHub organization:

 

https://github.com/clojure-expectations

 

The documentation is available here:

 

https://clojure-expectations.github.io

 

(for now, this is just a copy of Jay’s documentation site for Expectations but 
the plan is to expand it to include all of the tooling as well)

 

If you use Expectations and any of its current tooling, we’d like to have your 
input – please feel free to open GitHub issues with suggestions!

 

If you don’t use Expectations but you like BDD-style terminology, perhaps it’s 
time to take a look?

 

Why has this happened?

 

Expectations doesn’t currently support the clojure.test “protocol” that CIDER 
(and other tooling) expects, but making that happen is going to involve quite a 
few changes (or additions) to how Expectations works, as well as a ripple 
effect through the tooling.

 

The current maintainers did not necessarily have the time to invest in such 
changes, but were very open to pooling their work and making it easier for 
others to get involved. World Singles is a heavy user of Expectations so I have 
a vested interest in helping to maintain the Expectations ecosystem going 
forward, especially after adding support for Boot.

 

I’d like to thank Jay Fields for creating Expectations – it has made me love 
testing all over again! – and also thanks to Gareth Jones and Jake McCrary for 
their Leiningen and Emacs tooling.
