The specification is a markdown document that defines what the behavior of Ezno's checker. It is meant to server both as documentation and what is currently supported as well as a test suite to ensure there isn't a regression in the checker.
specification.md defines current behavior which works on the main branch. staging.md can be used as a well to introduce behavior during the implementation and remains separated from the rest. It can be enabled with the staging features and exclusively with staging-only. to_implement.md contains future tests that do not currently passed. They can be viewed as a target for the checker and copied to staging when ready to implement.
These can all be ran as tests using the markdown to Rust test code transpiler in build.rs.
- The cases should be brief and only test a specific aspect of the language
- Each block contains errors, the list afterwards is the expected errors
- Comments can be in block quotes to explain additional details in the tests
- Sections are at level three headings (
###), tests are at level four headings (####), the tested code goes a code block with the language tagtsand errors in a bullet list after in order - Blocks can be split into files with a
// in file.tscomment, below which all code is in thefile.tsfile. Default ismain.ts
Other tests unrelated to specific checking features can be found in checker/tests
