It seems that File has no method for reading the entire file contents
into a string, so I'd have to read and concatenate lines or chunks or
something?
There are std.file.read() and std.file.readText().
Yeah, I found those. I guess my post was a bit verbose, but the main
point was that I have a File object, but no file name (because I'm
using std.stdio.tmpfile() in a unit test), so std.file.read() and
std.file.readText() are useless to me... :)
But I agree that std.stdio.File should have a readAll() method
:-) If you think this is a good idea, add it to Bugzilla.
Sure.
For now, though: What's The Way[TM] to write unit tests for code that
writes to files? Use tmpfile and read/concatenate the file contents
myself? Something else that's more practical? (I would have thought
this kind of test would be common?-)
