Hi! Awesome crate, thanks for implementing it.
I wonder how I can generate multiple tests from one input file?
I have a scenario where I have a DSLish test script, which represents a test-fixture I can throw against my application via datatest-stable.
Think something like:
TestFixture:
setup_app(name="foo")
setup_client(name="c")
connect_client(app="foo", name="c")
client_send_command(name="c", command="process_data", data=[1,2,3])
expect_client_received_reply(name="c", reply=6)
that is then run against my application as an end-to-end-test so to speak.
In reality the tests are much more complex of course, but that's all closed source, so I cannot share more here.I am currently playing with the tera templating engine to generate multiple test-fixtures from one file:
{% for i in range(end=100) %}
TestFixture:
setup_app(name="foo{i}")
{% for j in range(end=100) %}
setup_client(name="c{j}")
{% endfor %}
{% for j in range(end=100) %}
connect_client(app="foo", name="c")
{% endfor %}
...and so on, I hope you get the idea. But that would mean that I have multiple test fixtures that are generated per input file. Right now, I would run them with a single call to datatest-stable. That works.
What would be really nice though, would be to run them as individual calls to datatest-stable, so that I get (for the above example) 100 test runs, one for each fixture.
Maybe I am just "holding it wrong" and just don't see the obvious solution. But maybe not, then this is a "howto" or feature request issue 😉 .
I hope you have a great weekend!
