nix-unit
This project runs an attribute set of tests compatible with lib.debug.runTests while allowing individual attributes to fail.
Why use nix-unit?
-
Simple structure compatible with
lib.debug.runTests -
Allows individual test attributes to fail individually.
Rather than evaluating the entire test suite in one go, serialise & compare nix-unit uses the Nix evaluator C++ API.
Meaning that we can catch test failures individually, even if the failure is caused by an evaluation error.
- Fast.
No additional processing and coordination overhead caused by the external process approach.
