Neko/cpp tests?

Hi! Cool!

Is it possible to run tests on neko/cpp platforms?
Not implemented yet, as far as I can see in hex.unittest.notifier path...

Hey! Thanks :)

Normally it should work because the runner itself is single thread and platform independent, but you're right, there is no notifier written for neko/cpp target.

Do you feel to try to write a notifier based on the existing ones? I think a console line notifier could be written really fast and simple, and it would be great to see also for us how does it operate in another platform :)

Well, there seems to be a problem with the MethodRunner and the limited neko Timer...

/src/hex/unittest/runner/MethodRunner.hx:153: characters 3-19 : haxe.Timer has no field stop
/src/hex/unittest/runner/MethodRunner.hx:155: characters 16-36 : haxe.Timer does not have a constructor
/src/hex/unittest/runner/MethodRunner.hx:156: characters 2-17 : haxe.Timer has no field run
/src/hex/unittest/runner/MethodRunner.hx:204: characters 2-42 : haxe.Timer has no field stop
/src/hex/unittest/runner/MethodRunner.hx:168: characters 3-43 : haxe.Timer has no field stop
/src/hex/unittest/runner/TestRunner.hx:190: characters 3-14 : Class<haxe.Timer> has no field delay

Ah your right :)
There is weak Timer functionality in neko.

I will look into it

Hmmm looks strange. Which version of haxe and neko do you use?

Normally according to haxe documentation it should not work:
http://api.haxe.org/haxe/Timer.html

But for me i could use everything (I use 3.3.0)

Btw, I had to make some modifications on hexUnit. Now i can run async tests and there is no problem with MethodRunner.

Could you check it?

I've checked it. It's compatible with 3.3.0, but not with 3.2.x

I've added some conditional compiling to manage this case, so it should work now.

Let me know if it works for you.

Neko platform is available till today (PHP platform as well till last week). Next one will be CPP.

Should be an epic with stories in it.

Not planned for now.
