| == Future improvements: power assertions | ||
|
|
||
| Testing in Pkl is already tremendously useful. | ||
| With that said, there is still room improvements. | ||
|
|
||
| One feature that we would like to implement is power assert style reporting. | ||
| Power assertions are a form of reporting that displays a diagram that shows parts of the syntax tree, and their resolved values. | ||
|
|
||
| A power-assertion report might look like: | ||
|
|
||
| [source] | ||
| ---- | ||
| module test | ||
| math ❌ | ||
| num1 == num2 ❌ | ||
| | | | | ||
| | false | | ||
| 1 2 | ||
| ---- | ||
|
|
||
| Frameworks that provide power assertions include link:https://github.com/spockframework/spock[Spock], link:https://github.com/power-assert-js/power-assert[power-assert-js], and link:https://github.com/kishikawakatsumi/swift-power-assert[swift-power-assert]. |

Since this is currently "only" on the long-term wish-list, it might be useful to say what problem it solves (the lack of information when one of the facts fails) and how to work around it now with trace? [Non-blocking]
