haxe.unit

This is the Haxe unit testing framework, with some improvements.

Improvements

• The textbox wordwraps by default (so you can read it)
• trace() output lines are colored blue
• The line of the test that triggered the error is colored red
• adds globalSetup - setup that is run once per class of tests
• adds globalTeardown - analogous to globalSetup
• adds beforeEach - run before each individual function test
• adds afterEach - analogous to beforeEach
• adds assertNotEquals
• adds assertThrows
• adds assertDoesNotThrow
• adds assertDotEquals (same as assertEquals, but does comparisons with .equals() rather than ==)
• adds assertNotDotEquals
• adds globalAsyncSetup - same as globalSetup, except with async semantics as seen below.

Async methods

Sometimes, we have to deal with async methods. Most of the time, it devolves into callback soup. Fortunately, that's not the case here.

If you need to do some asynchronous setup, call your method asyncGlobalSetup, and have it take a parameter called done. When the async method has finished, have it call done(). That's it!

Here's an example if you don't believe it's as simple as it sounds.

function asyncGlobalSetup(done: Void -> Void) {
  haxe.Timer.delay(function() {
      nme.Lib.current.stage.addChild(new MovieClip());

      done();
  }, 1000);
}
