Example Test Code
Matcher Test Example
fn testGreaterThan(expect: _testing.ModernTest.Expect) !void {
expect._ = t.expect(expect.allocator, 10, expect.failures);
try expect.toBeGreaterThan(5);
}
fn testCloseTo_Precision(expect: _testing.ModernTest.Expect) !void {
const value: f64 = 0.1 + 0.2; // = 0.30000000000000004
expect._ = t.expect(expect.allocator, value, expect.failures);
try expect.toBeCloseTo(0.3, 1); // 1 decimal place precision
}
Lifecycle Hook Test Example
try t.describe("beforeAll and afterAll", struct {
var setup_called = false;
fn setup() !void {
setup_called = true;
}
fn run() !void {
t.beforeAll(setup);
try t.it("verifies beforeAll ran", testBeforeAll);
}
fn testBeforeAll(expect: _testing.ModernTest.Expect) !void {
expect._ = t.expect(expect.allocator, setup_called, expect.failures);
try expect.toBe(true);
}
}.run);
Mock Test Example
fn testReturnValue(expect: _testing.ModernTest.Expect) !void {
var mock = testing.ModernTest.Mock.init(expect.allocator);
defer mock.deinit();
const value: i32 = 42;
try mock.mockReturnValue(@ptrCast(&value));
const result = try mock.call(&.{});
const result_value: _const i32 = @ptrCast(@alignCast(result.?));
expect._ = t.expect(expect.allocator, result_value._, expect.failures);
try expect.toBe(42);
}
Snapshot Test Example
fn testFirstMatch(expect: _testing.ModernTest.Expect) !void {
var snapshots = testing.ModernTest.Snapshots.init(
expect.allocator,
"__test_snapshots__"
);
defer snapshots.deinit();
const value = "hello world";
const matches = try snapshots.matchSnapshot("test1", value);
expect._ = t.expect(expect.allocator, matches, expect.failures);
try expect.toBe(true);
}
API Note: Using t instead of test
Due to Zig reserving test as a keyword, the testing API uses t as the namespace:
const testing = @import("testing/modern_test.zig");
const t = testing.t; // Use 't' not 'test'
try t.describe("Suite", struct {
fn run() !void {
try t.it("test case", testFunc);
}
}.run);
This is documented in all examples and guides.
