Custom unit tests

[versvisa]

Hello, I see there are a bunch of unit test functions of the form test sync fn test_...() -> Unit = {. How can I use that system for my own code? When and where are the tests executed?

If it does not happen already, I suppose it would be good to run all tests (optionally) when "rebooting", i.e. loading/compiling the TO2 code.

As mentioned in the referenced issue, the "test fn" functions are currently only executed during the build process of the addon (as a mix between unit and regression tests).

It would be nice to have this generally available for stuff in "to2Local" as well. There are just some things to consider:

• Adding this to the regular "Reboot" might have some significant impact on performance, so a separate "Run testsuite" button (or similar) would be preferable
  • ... but then there should be also a UI for test results and failures
  • ... and this is a lot of work and just had not enough priority so far ;)
• Event better would be having this integrated into the vscode plugin
  • ... but then there has to be a test-runner
  • ... which in itself is not really all that hard to implement (it would actually be straight forward copy&paste from the XUnit testcases)
  • ... but it would mean, publishing an executable (.exe), which is (rightfully) frowned upon

What I eventually want to explore is bundling a test-runner as a WASM, so that it could be easily integrated into anything javascript/typescript related and would be executed in a sandbox environment ... but again: Time and priority ;)

... and sometimes I just overthink it. pre-release 0.5.8.2 (https://github.com/untoldwind/KontrolSystem2/releases/tag/v0.5.8.2) now has console commands. One of the commands is "test" to run unit-tests.

• test should run all "test fn" that are defined anywhere
• test <module name> should just run those of a specific module

Results are reported in the Console window (so no extra UI necessary ;) )

I also overhauled the REPL execution: Expressions typed into the console should now behave the same as in scripts (it is running through the same compilation steps)

Now part of the regular release 0.5.8.3

Gorgeous.
