I didn't try it, but AFAIU, it requires to learn some DSL to write tests. There are two possible issues: - the DSL does not cover all use cases, and therefore gets in the way; - the DSL implies overhead in writing tests, which is counterproductive. I didn't test your library, so I cannot tell if your system suffers from one of the items above. I'm merely pointing out my concerns. OTOH, I think we need proper tooling to write tests for Org agenda. Since you put some thought in it, do you think it is feasible to have something like this, albeit more lightweight (e.g., macros around regular Org code instead of a DSL)? If so, would you to give it a try? Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
