set the channel topic: Discussion around Parameterize, a library that brings a concise syntax for parameterizing code

@CLOVIS @mbonnin I just pushed out an initial v0.1.0 release, and looks like it's already synced to maven central :) Won't make a general announcement just yet since I have a busy week ahead of me and won't have much time to answer questions or address issues from the masses. But feel free to poke around, give it a try, and leave some feedback here!

Do you plan on implementing pre-made lists of parameters? For example, in the Kotest documentation: https://kotest.io/docs/proptest/property-test-generators.html

From what we discussed the other day, currently Parametrize works by evaluating the lambda a first time, in which it receives the first value of each option, and schedules another evaluation because it knows some other combination has not been tested yet.

parametrize {
    val letter by parameter(…)

    // …executes X times…
}

However, many test frameworks require to be able to discover all tests before executing them. For Prepared, I would require a way to declare all parameters that can be executed once before executing any test, only to register the possible cases.

suite("My test suite") {
    parametrize {
        val letter by parameter(…)

        test("Some dummy test for $letter") {
            letter.uppercase() shouldNotBe letter
        }
    }
}

Do you think it is possible to get this behavior with your library? Maybe by using a different

parametrize

function but the same

parameter

functions? Additionally, my library has an additional concept to allow declaring suspend test fixtures without evaluating them: prepared values. Ideally, I'd like parametrized values to be compatible with this pattern as well. What do you think?

Apparently I have the right to add links at the top of the channel, so I added your repository (feel free to rename it)
