expect.ahk

A Test Anything Protocol (TAP) compliant unit testing package for AutoHotkey

Installation

In a terminal or command line navigated to your project folder:

npm install expect.ahk

In your code only export.ahk needs to be included:

#Include %A_ScriptDir%\node_modules
#Include expect\export.ahk
expect := new expect()

testVar := 2 + 2
expect.equal(testVar, 4)
expect.fullReport()

You may also review or copy the library from ./export.ahk on GitHub; #Include as you would normally when manually downloading.

Usage

Grants access to a class named expect with the following methods: .equal, .notEqual, .true, .false, .label, .group, .report, .fullReport, and .writeTestResultsToFile

expect := new expect()

; .equal checks and logs whether or not both arguments are the same
expect.label("string comparison")
expect.equal("StringExample", "StringExample")

expect.label("value testing")
expect.equal((1 > 0 ), true)

expect.label("true/false testing")
expect.true((1 == 1))
expect.false((1 != 1))
expect.notEqual(true,false)

expect.report()
expect.fullReport()
expect.writeTestResultsToFile()

API

.equal(actual, expected)

Alias: .test

checks if actual and expected are the same or equal. The comparison is case-insensitive when ahk is inStringCaseSense, Off (default ahk behavior)

Arguments
  1. actual (*): The actual value computed
  2. expected (*): The expected value
Returns

(boolean): returns true if the values were the same, else false

Example
expect.equal("string", "tsring")
; => false

expect.equal((1 > 0 ), true)
; => true

.true(actual)

checks if actual value is true.

Arguments
  1. actual (*): The actual value computed
Returns

(boolean): returns true if the value is true, else false

Example
expect.true((1 == 1))
; => true

expect.true(InStr("String", "S"))
; => true

.false(actual)

checks if actual value is false.

Arguments
  1. actual (*): The actual value computed
Returns

(boolean): returns true if the value is false, else false

Example
expect.false((1 != 1))
; => true

expect.false(InStr("String", "X"))
; => true

.notEqual(actual, expected)

checks if actual and expected are NOT the same or equal. The comparison is case-insensitive when ahk is inStringCaseSense, Off (default ahk behavior)

Arguments
  1. actual (*): The actual value computed
  2. expected (*): The expected value
Returns

(boolean): returns true if the value is false, else false

Example
expect.notEqual((1 != 1))
; => true

expect.notEqual(InStr("String", "X"))
; => true

.undefined(actual)

checks if actual is undefined ("").

Arguments
  1. actual (*): The actual value computed
Returns

(boolean): returns true if the value is "", else false

Example
expect.false((1 != 1))
; => true

expect.false(InStr("String", "X"))
; => true

.label(label)

labels the following tests for logs and readability

Arguments
  1. label (string): A human readable label for the next test(s) in sequence
Example
expect.label("string comparisons")

expect.equal("String", "s")
expect.fullReport()
/*---------------------------
1 tests completed with 0% success (1 failure)
=================================
== string comparisons ==
Test Number: 1
Expected: s
Actual: String
---------------------------*/

.group(label)

appends the label to a group of following tests for logs and readability

This may be useful when one has a lot of tests; and doesn't want to type out a repeatative label

Arguments
  1. label (string): A human readable label prepend for the next test(s) in sequence
Example
expect.group("strings")
expect.label("comparison")
expect.equal("String", "s")

expect.label("length")
expect.equal(strLen("String"), 9)

expect.fullReport()
/*---------------------------
2 tests completed with 0% success (2 failures)
=================================
== strings - comparisons ==
Test Number: 1
Expected: s
Actual: String

== strings - length ==
Test Number: 2
Expected: 99
Actual: 6
---------------------------*/

.report()

Uses msgbox to display the results of all tests

Example
expect.true(InStr("String", "S"))

expect.report()
/*---------------------------
1 test completed with 100% success
---------------------------*/

.fullReport()

Uses msgbox to display the results of all tests with details of any failures

Example
expect.true(InStr("String", "X"))

expect.fullReport()
/*---------------------------
1 tests completed with 0% success (1 failure)
=================================
Test Number: 1
Expected: true
Actual: false
---------------------------*/

.writeResultsToFile([filepath, fileopen])

writes test results to a file

Arguments
  1. filepath (string): Optional, The file path to write all tests results to, the default is A_ScriptDir "\result.tests.log"

  2. fileopen (bool): Optional, Open the file if true. Default: false

Example
expect.true(InStr("String", "X"))

expect.writeTestResultsToFile()
/*
1 test completed with 0% success (1 failure)

Test Number: 1
Expected: true
Actual: false*/
