(** The OUnit library can be used to implement unittests

*)

(** {5 Assertions} 

    Assertions are the basic building blocks of unittests. *)

(** Signals a failure. This will raise an exception with the specified
    string. 

    @raise Failure to signal a failure *)
val assert_failure : string -> 'a

(** Signals a failure when bool is false. The string identifies the 
    failure.
    
    @raise Failure to signal a failure *)
val assert_bool : string -> bool -> unit

(** Shorthand for assert_bool 

    @raise Failure to signal a failure *)
val ( @? ) : string -> bool -> unit

(** Signals a failure when the string is non-empty. The string identifies the
    failure. 
    
    @raise Failure to signal a failure *) 
val assert_string : string -> unit


(** Compares two values, when they are not equal a failure is signaled.
    The cmp parameter can be used to pass a different compare function. 
    This parameter defaults to ( = ). The optional printer can be used 
    to convert the value to string, so a nice error message can be 
    formatted. When msg is also set it can be used to identify the failure. 

    @raise Failure description *)
val assert_equal : ?cmp:('a -> 'a -> bool) ->  ?printer:('a -> string) -> 
                   ?msg:string -> 'a -> 'a -> unit

(** Asserts if the expected exception was raised. When msg is set it can 
    be used to identify the failure

    @raise Failure description *)
val assert_raises : ?msg:string -> exn -> (unit -> 'a) -> unit

(** {5 Compare Functions} *)

(** Compare floats up to a given relative error. *)
val cmp_float : ?epsilon: float -> float -> float -> bool

(** {5 Bracket}

    A bracket is a functional implementation of the commonly used
    setUp and tearDown feature in unittests. It can be used like this:

    "MyTestCase" >:: (bracket test_set_up test_fun test_tear_down) *)

(** *)
val bracket : (unit -> 'a) -> ('a -> 'b) -> ('a -> 'c) -> unit -> 'c

(** {5 Constructing Tests} *)

(** The type of tests *)
type test =
    TestCase of (unit -> unit)
  | TestList of test list
  | TestLabel of string * test

(** Create a TestLabel for a test *)
val (>:) : string -> test -> test

(** Create a TestLabel for a TestCase *)
val (>::) : string -> (unit -> unit) -> test

(** Create a TestLabel for a TestList *)
val (>:::) : string -> test list -> test

(** Some shorthands which allows easy test construction.

   Examples:

   - ["test1" >: TestCase((fun _ -> ()))] =>  
   [TestLabel("test2", TestCase((fun _ -> ())))]
   - ["test2" >:: (fun _ -> ())] => 
   [TestLabel("test2", TestCase((fun _ -> ())))]

   - ["test-suite" >::: ["test2" >:: (fun _ -> ());]] =>
   [TestLabel("test-suite", TestSuite([TestLabel("test2", TestCase((fun _ -> ())))]))]
*)

(** {5 Retrieve Information from Tests} *)

(** Returns the number of available test cases *)
val test_case_count : test -> int

(** Types which represent the path of a test *)
type node = ListItem of int | Label of string
type path = node list (** The path to the test (in reverse order). *)

(** Make a string from a node *)
val string_of_node : node -> string

(** Make a string from a path. The path will be reversed before it is 
    tranlated into a string *)
val string_of_path : path -> string

(** Returns a list with paths of the test *)
val test_case_paths : test -> path list

(** {5 Performing Tests} *)

(** The possible results of a test *)
type test_result =
    RSuccess of path
  | RFailure of path * string
  | RError of path * string

(** Events which occur during a test run *)   
type test_event =
    EStart of path 
  | EEnd of path
  | EResult of test_result

(** Perform the test, allows you to build your own test runner *)
val perform_test : (test_event -> 'a) -> test -> test_result list

(** A simple text based test runner. It prints out information
    during the test. *)
val run_test_tt : ?verbose:bool -> test -> test_result list

(** Main version of the text based test runner. It reads the supplied command 
    line arguments to set the verbose level *)
val run_test_tt_main : test -> test_result list
