Standard for testing #6

Open JoshOrndorff opened 5 years ago

We currently have tests laying around in nonstandard and non automated ways in each file. We need a framework for starting an interpreter, deploying contracts, running the tests and reporting how many tests failed.

How does truffle handle this?

Maybe it could build on a javascript testing framework and use rchain-api?

There is also this https://github.com/xiphiness/RDebug

I haven't really played with it.

There is also https://github.com/rchain/rchain/blob/dev/casper/src/main/rholang/ListOps.rho#L3-L11

I wonder how we re-create those results.

RhoSpec seems relevant here; I can't quite tell how committed the core dev team is to it:

https://github.com/rchain/rchain/pull/2100 https://github.com/rchain/rchain/blob/cc5345eb6b945cdbec722dd9ed01e7e0384e8cef/casper/src/test/rholang/RhoSpec.rho

I'm migrating existing Rholang tests in casper project to RhoSpec. If everything works fine RhgoSpec will be merged and replace TestSet

Very excited to hear that rhospec is coming along. I'm all for if as long as rho:test:assertAck, rho:test:testSuiteCompleted, and other relevant details are documented so that non-RChain rholang implementations can also have them.

Actually, I guess documentation is a bigger ask than just testing, and I haven't let it stop me before...
