/* Collection of functions useful for debugging
   broken nix expressions.

   * `trace`-like functions take two values, print
     the first to stderr and return the second.
   * `traceVal`-like functions take one argument
     which both printed and returned.
   * `traceSeq`-like functions fully evaluate their
     traced value before printing (not just to “weak
     head normal form” like trace does by default).
   * Functions that end in `-Fn` take an additional
     function as their first argument, which is applied
     to the traced value before it is printed.

  # -- TESTING --

  /* Evaluates a set of tests.

     A test is an attribute set `{expr, expected}`,
     denoting an expression and its expected result.

     The result is a `list` of __failed tests__, each represented as
     `{name, expected, result}`,

     - expected
       - What was passed as `expected`
     - result
       - The actual `result` of the test

     Used for regression testing of the functions in lib; see
     tests.nix for more examples.

     Important: Only attributes that start with `test` are executed.

     - If you want to run only a subset of the tests add the attribute `tests = ["testName"];`

    Example:

     runTests {
       testAndOk = {
         expr = lib.and true false;
         expected = false;
       };
       testAndFail = {
         expr = lib.and true false;
         expected = true;
       };
     }
     ->
     [
       {
         name = "testAndFail";
         expected = true;
         result = false;
       }
     ]

      runTests :: {
        tests = [ String ];
        ${testName} :: {
          expr :: a;
          expected :: a;
        };
      }
      ->
      [
        {
          name :: String;
          expected :: a;
          result :: a;
        }
      ]

       && ((testsToRun == []) || elem name tests.tests)
       && (test.expr != test.expected)

      then [ { inherit name; expected = test.expected; result = test.expr; } ]
      else [] ) tests));
