package ogletest

// RegisterTestSuite tells ogletest about a test suite containing tests that it
// should run. Any exported method on the type pointed to by the supplied
// prototype value will be treated as test methods, with the exception of the
// following methods (which need not be present):
//
//  *  SetUpTestSuite() -- called exactly once, before the first test method is
//     run. The receiver of this method will be a zero value of the test suite
//     type, and is not shared with any other methods. Use this method to set
//     up any necessary global state shared by all of the test methods.
//
//  *  TearDownTestSuite() -- called exactly once, after the last test method
//     is run. The receiver of this method will be a zero value of the test
//     suite type, and is not shared with any other methods. Use this method to
//     clean up after any necessary global state shared by all of the test
//     methods.
//
//  *  SetUp(testInfo) -- called before each test method is invoked, with the
//     same receiver as that test method, and with a TestInfo arg. At the time
//     this method is invoked, the receiver is a zero value for the test suite
//     type. Use this method for common setup code that works on data not
//     shared across tests.
//
//  *  TearDown() -- called after each test method is invoked, with the same
//     receiver as that test method. Use this method for common cleanup code
//     that works on data not shared across tests.
//
// Each test method is invoked on a different receiver, which is initially a
// zero value of the test suite type.
//
// Example:
//
//     // Some value that is needed by the tests but is expensive to compute.
//     var someExpensiveThing uint
//    
//     type FooTest struct {
//       // Path to a temporary file used by the tests. Each test gets a
//       // different temporary file.
//       tempFile string
//     }
//     func init() { ogletest.RegisterTestSuite(&FooTest{}) }
//
//     func (t *FooTest) SetUpTestSuite() {
//       someExpensiveThing = ComputeSomeExpensiveThing()
//     }
//
//     func (t *FooTest) SetUp() {
//       t.tempFile = CreateTempFile()
//     }
//
//     func (t *FooTest) TearDown() {
//       DeleteTempFile(t.tempFile)
//     }
//
//     func (t *FooTest) FrobinicatorIsSuccessfullyTweaked() {
//       res := DoSomethingWithExpensiveThing(someExpensiveThing, t.tempFile)
//       ExpectThat(res, Equals(true))
//     }
