Very simple but very powerful. It's basically way to tag symbols with 
values/types.

How can a user of your code add matchers, for example, to check 
for elements or attributes in XML? (Without having to change 
your code.) The hidden 'MatchStatement' makes the code easy to 
use but seems to make it hard to extend. You could add a second 
('matcher') parameter to 'must', but then you have to switch 
from '.' to '('...')':


result.must(haveTag("root"));

By the way: Does the color output work on Windows?
Here is what I do to color the unit-test results:

Thanks for the feedback and the pointers - I think they're all 
good ideas. I'll look into making the necessary adjustments.

It is inspired by projects like specs2 and ScalaTest from the 
Scala world.


Example:

unittest {
describe("a string")
.should("have a length property", 
"foo".length.must.equal(3));

}

Features:
* DSL for expressing unit tests as specifications
* Verify with "must" instead of assert
* Report successful / failed tests using green / red paradigm

Available as a dub dependency ("specd") or from
https://github.com/jostly/specd

Comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome!


I've been working on something similar myself.

Narrowly avoided nameclash there. :) Good to see others thinking 
along the same lines.



I'm working on a new syntax using UDA's, shown here:

tests. It is inspired by projects like specs2 and ScalaTest from
