Print namespaces as tests are being run

[dakrone]

I think lein expectations should print namespaces as they are being run, so progress can be seen in the tests.

For instance, if you have 10 minutes of tests, sometimes it's difficult to tell if the tests are actually running, or if they're just hanging without some kind of "Testing foo.bar..." output.

I don't want to see this output, but I can see the value that it would provide other people.

perhaps some type of --verbose flag would be valuable?

[dakrone]

Or an option in project.clj, something like :verbose-tests true.

Very timely. I was just thinking it would be nice to have an option for this (as our test suite continues to grow).

Tangent: Having unit tests that take more than a few seconds to run seems like a bit of a "test smell" to me tho'... isn't the point of unit tests to have "immediate" feedback? I run lein-autoexpect in a shell in Emacs and our tests run in five seconds - much longer and I wouldn't be getting the "continuous" feedback I like.

@jaycfields Unless I am mistaken, I believe this would need to be done in Expectations itself and exposed as an option?

[jaycfields]

yep. should probably close the issue over here...

[seancorfield]

Opened against Expectations: clojure-expectations/expectations#5

[jaycfields]

I added support for this in expectations and changed lein-expectations so that you can specify project parameters if you want to see the output. In your project.clj, both of the following flags are now supported.

:expectations/show-finished-ns true
:expectations/show-finished-expectation true

I updated lein-expectations to 0.0.9, but haven't pushed anything to clojars. Sean, what are you using to push these days? Mind pushing out a new version of lein-expectations?

[seancorfield]

I just use scp but I'm on vacation in Australia right now so I won't push anything for a while :)

[gar3thjon3s]

@jaycfields Pushed 0.0.8 to clojars for you.

[jaycfields]

0.0.8 or 0.0.9?

[gar3thjon3s]

I looked and the last version deployed was 0.0.7, so I pushed 0.0.8. You bumped the version to 0.0.9-SNAPSHOT - I assumed that was for any development on the next release O_o

[jaycfields]

Gotcha, so what you deployed yesterday has my changes sans the update to 0.0.9-snapshot?

[gar3thjon3s]

I deployed it 10mins ago, but yeah.
