Adding test middleware

[lvh]

How do I add test middleware to doo? Right now, the test errors can be somewhat limited in their utility, notably:

1. I don't see full tracebacks
2. I can't pretty-print errors, e.g.:

FAIL in (parse-row-tests) (:)
non-whitespace rows
expected: (= (c/parse-row status-row) (assoc parsed-status-row :unparsed-row status-row))
  actual: (not (= {:row-type :header, :card-type :status, :timestamp #object[Object 20150728T063200], :author {:name "Support McAgent", :link "somewhere"}, :from "New", :to "In Progress", :source :core, :unparsed-row [:tr {:style "stylish"} [:td {:style "classy"} "07/28/2015"] [:td {:style "swanky"} "6:32 am"] [:td {:style "swaggerful"} [:a {:onclick "doSomething()", :target "_new", :href "somewhere"} "Support McAgent"]] [:td {} "Status"] [:td {:style "awesome"} "New -> In Progress"] [:td {} " "]]} {:row-type :header, :card-type :status, :author {:name "Supporty McAgent", :link "somewhere"}, :source :core, :timestamp #object[Object 20150728T063200], :from "New", :to "In Progress", :unparsed-row [:tr {:style "stylish"} [:td {:style "classy"} "07/28/2015"] [:td {:style "swanky"} "6:32 am"] [:td {:style "swaggerful"} [:a {:onclick "doSomething()", :target "_new", :href "somewhere"} "Support McAgent"]] [:td {} "Status"] [:td {:style "awesome"} "New -> In Progress"] [:td {} " "]]}))

It would be great if there's a way to pretty-print that, or add the diff -- I believe humane-test-output does both?

Currently there is no way in doo to do this. Can you point me to some project that uses the middleware you want? Since I don't use this, I'm having in which step should the middleware be applied.

I just realized that the most important one, pjstadig/humane-test-output doesn't actually work on ClojureScript yet; I guess I'll try to make that work at some point.

@bensu: Have you noticed any issues trying to debug software where the test would just fail with a single line JavaScript error message? That's my main issue: sometimes (usually, when an exception is thrown), I get a fairly unhelpful error, e.g. telling me that... some vector only had one element, but not telling me where, or what it actually was, et cetera.

I guess this would be somewhat remediated if I could get CIDER to run my tests in my browser-attached figwheel REPL, but https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/issues/1268 womp womp womp :(

I haven't used karma recently, but this CircleCI testing post using karma but not doo seems to suggest that at least I'll get JS tracebacks?

I'm running into this issue as well. I'm struggling to get helpful test errors from doo. I'd like to take a stab at this, @bensu do you have any pointers on where to start to allow for test middleware?

@lvh have you made any progress on this?

[lvh]

@dmh43 I haven't attempted to address this.

FYI, humane-test-output now supports ClojureScript.
