Expectest – crate for unit testing with nice syntax

1

You can search the crate on crates.io and look at code on github.com.
Currently work in progress but I would like to hear your feedback. In future I'm planning to add documentation and more matchers.

Some issues I would like to discuss:

  1. I don't like how looks code for 'be_empty' matcher. I can add EmptyCollection trait with is_empty_collection method and create Matcher with this but it seems to me not good solution either.
  2. I came across an unexpected behaviour of some tests in tests/empty.rs file, I've marked them as #[ignore]. On my machine they fail with error:
Process didn't exit successfully: `/Users/zummenix/projects/expectest/target/debug/empty-79c4267514e27720 --ignored` (signal: 4)

I don't know is it rust bug or I'm missing something. My setup:

rustc 1.1.0-nightly (c4b23aec4 2015-04-29) (built 2015-04-28)
cargo 0.2.0-nightly (dac600c 2015-04-22) (built 2015-04-25)

Some update on issue #2:
I've updated rust:

rustc 1.1.0-nightly (c42c1e7a6 2015-05-02) (built 2015-05-01)

lldb output before crash if it helps:

If I change code in test from:

expect("s".to_string()).to(be_empty());

to:

let e = be_empty();
expect("s".to_string()).to(e);

test passes.

Probably I should file an issue to github.

Fortunately I came up with small example that reproduce this problem, filled the issue:
