A detection tool for traditional unit testing in OCaml

Dryunit is a generates bootstrap code for test frameworks. As a result, you get to use plain old OCaml. For more information, checkout the repository.

Installation

opam install dryunit

Conventions

• Test files should either be called tests.ml or something_tests.ml
• Test functions should called test_something
• By default, test executables are named main

Usage

If you use jbuilder, you can get started using this:

mkdir tests
dryunit init > tests/jbuild

You can also define the framework explicitly using dryunit init alcotest. Adding a sample test:

echo "let test_error () = raise Not_found" > tests/something_tests.ml
jbuilder build tests/main.exe && _build/default/tests/main.exe
