##
## This module implements boilerplate to make unit testing easy.
##
## The test status and name is printed after any output or traceback.
##
## Tests can be nested, however failure of a nested test will not mark the
## parent test as failed. Setup and teardown are inherited. Setup can be
## overridden locally.
##
## Compiled test files as well as `nim c -r <testfile.nim>`
## exit with 0 for success (no failed tests) or 1 for failure.
##
## Testament
## =========
##
## Instead of `unittest`, please consider using
## `the Testament tool <testament.html>`_ which offers process isolation for your tests.
##
## Alternatively using `when isMainModule: doAssert conditionHere` is usually a
## much simpler solution for testing purposes.
##
## Running a single test
## =====================
##
## Specify the test name as a command line argument.
##
## .. code::
##
##   nim c -r test "my test name" "another test"
##
## Multiple arguments can be used.
##
## Running a single test suite
## ===========================
##
## Specify the suite name delimited by `"::"`.
##
## .. code::
##
##   nim c -r test "my test name::"
##
## Selecting tests by pattern
## ==========================
##
## A single ``"*"`` can be used for globbing.
##
## Delimit the end of a suite name with `"::"`.
##
## Tests matching **any** of the arguments are executed.
##
## .. code::
##
##   nim c -r test fast_suite::mytest1 fast_suite::mytest2
##   nim c -r test "fast_suite::mytest*"
##   nim c -r test "auth*::" "crypto::hashing*"
##   # Run suites starting with 'bug #' and standalone tests starting with '#'
##   nim c -r test 'bug #*::' '::#*'
##
## Examples
## ========
##
## .. code:: nim
##
##   suite "description for this stuff":
##     echo "suite setup: run once before the tests"
##
##     setup:
##       echo "run before each test"
##
##     teardown:
##       echo "run after each test"
##
##     test "essential truths":
##       # give up and stop if this fails
##       require(true)
##
##     test "slightly less obvious stuff":
##       # print a nasty message and move on, skipping
##       # the remainder of this block
##       check(1 != 1)
##       check("asd"[2] == 'd')
##
##     test "out of bounds error is thrown on bad access":
##       let v = @[1, 2, 3]  # you can do initialization here
##       expect(IndexDefect):
##         discard v[4]
##
##     echo "suite teardown: run once after the tests"
##
## Limitations/Bugs
## ================
## Since `check` will rewrite some expressions for supporting checkpoints
## (namely assigns expressions to variables), some type conversions are not supported.
## For example `check 4.0 == 2 + 2` won't work. But `doAssert 4.0 == 2 + 2` works.
## Make sure both sides of the operator (such as `==`, `>=` and so on) have the same type.
