Test (qcheck-core.QCheck2.Test)

type 'a cell

A single property test on a value of type 'a. A Test.t wraps a cell and hides its type parameter.

val make_cell : 
  ?if_assumptions_fail:([ `Fatal | `Warning ] * float) ->
  ?count:int ->
  ?long_factor:int ->
  ?max_gen:int ->
  ?max_fail:int ->
  ?name:string ->
  ?print:'a Print.t ->
  ?collect:( 'a -> string ) ->
  ?stats:'a stat list ->
  'a Gen.t ->
  ( 'a -> bool ) ->
  'a cell

make_cell gen prop builds a test that checks property prop on instances of the generator gen.

parameter name
the name of the test.

parameter count
number of test cases to run, counting only the test cases which satisfy preconditions.

parameter long_factor
the factor by which to multiply count, max_gen and max_fail when running a long test (default: 1).

parameter max_gen
maximum number of times the generation function is called in total to replace inputs that do not satisfy preconditions (should be >= count).

parameter max_fail
maximum number of failures before we stop generating inputs. This is useful if shrinking takes too much time.

parameter if_assumptions_fail
the minimum fraction of tests that must satisfy the precondition for a success to be considered valid. The fraction should be between 0. and 1. A warning will be emitted otherwise if the flag is `Warning, the test will be a failure if the flag is `Fatal. (since 0.10)

parameter print
used in Print to display generated values failing the prop

parameter collect
(* collect values by tag, useful to display distribution of generated *)

parameter stats
on a distribution of values of type 'a

type t =

| Test : 'a cell -> t

Same as 'a cell, but masking the type parameter. This allows to put tests on different types in the same list of tests.

make gen prop builds a test that checks property prop on instances of the generator gen. See make_cell for a description of the parameters.

val test_get_count : t -> int

val fail_report : string -> 'a

Fail the test with some additional message that will be reported.

since 0.7

val fail_reportf : 
  ( 'a, Stdlib.Format.formatter, unit, 'b ) Stdlib.format4 ->
  'a

Format version of fail_report.

Example:

Test.fail_reportf
  "Value N = %i should be greater than M = %i for Foo = %a" n m pp_foo foo

Running the test

include module type of Test_exceptions

exception Test_fail of string * string list

Exception raised when a test failed, with the list of counter-examples. Test_fail (name, l) means test name failed on elements of l.

exception Test_error of string * string * exn * string

Exception raised when a test raised an exception e, with the sample that triggered the exception. Test_error (name, i, e, st) means name failed on i with exception e, and st is the stacktrace (if enabled) or an empty string.

val print_instance : 'a cell -> 'a -> string

val print_c_ex : 'a cell -> 'a TestResult.counter_ex -> string

val print_fail : 'a cell -> string -> 'a TestResult.counter_ex list -> string

val print_fail_other : string -> msg:string -> string

val print_error : 
  ?st:string ->
  'a cell ->
  string ->
  ('a TestResult.counter_ex * exn) ->
  string

val print_test_fail : string -> string list -> string

val print_test_error : string -> string -> exn -> string -> string

val print_collect : ( string, int ) Stdlib.Hashtbl.t -> string

Print "collect" results.

since 0.6

val print_stat : ('a stat * ( int, int ) Stdlib.Hashtbl.t) -> string

Print statistics.

since 0.6

val check_result : 'a cell -> 'a TestResult.t -> unit

check_result cell res checks that res is Ok _, and returns unit. Otherwise, it raises some exception.

raises Test_error
if res = Error _

raises Test_error
if res = Failed _

type res =

| Success

| Failure

| FalseAssumption

| Error of exn * string

type 'a event =

| Generating

| Collecting of 'a

| Testing of 'a

| Shrunk of int * 'a

| Shrinking of int * int * 'a

type 'a handler = string -> 'a cell -> 'a event -> unit

Handler executed after each event during testing of an instance.

type 'a step = string -> 'a cell -> 'a -> res -> unit

Callback executed after each instance of a test has been run. The callback is given the instance tested, and the current results of the test.

type 'a callback = string -> 'a cell -> 'a TestResult.t -> unit

Callback executed after each test has been run. f name cell res means test cell, named name, gave res.

val check_cell : 
  ?long:bool ->
  ?call:'a callback ->
  ?step:'a step ->
  ?handler:'a handler ->
  ?rand:Stdlib.Random.State.t ->
  'a cell ->
  'a TestResult.t

check_cell ~long ~rand test generates up to count random values of type 'a using Gen.t and the random state st. The predicate law is called on them and if it returns false or raises an exception then we have a counter-example for the law.

parameter long
if true then multiply the number of instances to generate by the cell's long_factor.

parameter call
function called on each test case, with the result.

parameter step
function called on each instance of the test case, with the result.

returns
the result of the test.

val check_cell_exn : 
  ?long:bool ->
  ?call:'a callback ->
  ?step:'a step ->
  ?rand:Stdlib.Random.State.t ->
  'a cell ->
  unit

Same as check_cell but calls check_result on the result.

raises Test_error
if res = Error _

raises Test_error
if res = Failed _

val check_exn : ?long:bool -> ?rand:Stdlib.Random.State.t -> t -> unit

Checks the property against some test cases, and calls check_result, which might raise an exception in case of failure.

raises Test_error
if res = Error _

raises Test_error
if res = Failed _
