Intent

Intent is an opinionated test framework for Dotty. It builds on the following principles:

• Low cermony test code
• Uniform test declaration
• Futures and async testing
• Arranging test state
• Fast to run tests

Here is an example on how the tests look:

class StatefulTest extends TestSuite with State[Cart] :
  "an empty cart" using Cart() to :
    "with two items" using (_.add(CartItem("beach-chair", 2))) to :
      "and another three items" using (_.add(CartItem("sunscreen", 3))) to :
        "contains 5 items" in :
          cart => expect(cart.totalQuantity).toEqual(5)

case class CartItem(artNo: String, qty: Int)
case class Cart(items: Seq[CartItem] = Seq.empty):
  def add(item: CartItem): Cart = copy(items = items :+ item)
  def totalQuantity = items.map(_.qty).sum

This readme is focused on building and testing Intent, for documentation on how to use Intent to write tests, see User documentation.

Getting started

Add Intent to your SBT project with the following lines to your build.sbt:

libraryDependencies += "com.factor10" %% "intent" % "0.1.0",
testFrameworks += new TestFramework("intent.sbt.Framework")

Development environment

Intent is an early adopter of Dotty features, which means:

• You need a recent Dotty (>= 0.19.0-RC1) since Intent use the new Scala 3 syntax and significant whitespace.

• Visual Studio Code seems to be the best supported editor (although not perfect)
