mlUnit 1.6.8 released

Hetu — Tue, 14 Apr 2015 11:28:50 -0000

This is a large release. Large, because it contains more changes than usual. That is due to a backend refactoring effort, meaning to merge the diverged test execution mechanisms. The second part of the refactoring is expected with the next 1.6.9 release. Other changes include:

improved report
new output options: linked_trace, abbrev_trace, verbose
environment reset after tear_down
console report will be put out live, so that any debugging statements fall in line
refreshed R2006b compatibility
various fixes

Have fun.

mlUnit 1.6.7 released

Hetu — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 14:32:46 -0000

mlUnit 1.6.7 is here. I won't say: more than a year in the making, because, you know, new year's puns.

The 1.6.7 release experienced an overhaul of the asserts' output. Expect assert_equals messages to be readable, and particularly broken down into its differing fields, if comparing structs. Stack traces of asserts are cropped to the interesting parts. There is more. A sample directory demonstrates most of the assert family's failure output.

There was a rule that test files must provide their function signature on the very first line. This has been relaxed to just the first non-empty, non-comment line.

The release also contains fixes for subtle and not-so-subtle bugs and the random improvement.

Have fun.

Experimental Octave support

Hetu — Fri, 20 Jun 2014 11:12:21 -0000

There's an mlUnit branch offering experimental GNU Octave support. Go here and select Download snapshot. Or checkout the branch 1.6.x octave support from the the subversion repository.

Simple assert failures and user errors seem to work. However, there remains a lot of debugging in order to make mlUnit test itself (i.e. the tests in the test folder) under Octave. The next thing in need of fixing seems to be our run methods, that Octave gets confused with. They should probably get renamed.

When using mlUnit with Octave, add all paths to the Octave search path. For example, change into mlUnit's topmost directory, and enter:

>> addpath(genpath(pwd));

This should make work a) mlUnit, b) the samples, and c) the internal test cases. Also frequently refresh the function cache, since we experienced strange error messages when not doing this:

>> clear functions

The actual version tested was GNU Octave 3.6.4 on Windows.

Latest development of mlUnit (1.6.3) now available in the Subversion repository and as file release.

mlUnit 2.0 Beta 1 released

Axel Berres — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:11:36 -0000

mlUnit 2 is the re-implementation of mlUnit for MATLAB's new classdef syntax. This not only allows to define all test methods in one file, but also to put all test cases into one or more packages. mlUnit is a unit testing framework for the MATLAB .m language, which considers the patterns of the xUnit family, i.e. includes assertions, test cases and suites as well as the fixture. An example test case with the new syntax looks like this: >> edit test.sin.m classdef test_sin < mlunit.test_case methods function self = test_sin(varargin) self = self@mlunit.test_case(varargin{:}); end function self = test_null(self) mlunit.assert_equals(0, sin(0)); end function self = test_sin_cos(self) mlunit.assert_equals(cos(0), sin(pi/2)); end end end (sorry, no indention allowed in SourceForge news entries) and can be executed by the following commands: >> runner = mlunit.text_test_runner(1, 1); >> loader = mlunit.test_loader; >> run(runner, load_tests_from_test_case(loader, 'test_sin')); Please note that MATLAB R2008a or newer is required to run mlUnit 2! This is a beta release. If you have a question, a comment or a bug report, please send an email to thomas@dohmke.de. Usually I try to answer within 24 hours. Spam and other crap goes automatically to the trash bin, so please use a precise subject.
