My New Test Model - treating test fixtures with the respect they deserve http://oneeyedmen.com/my-new-test-model.html

minutest

is pretty great - we've been using it to supplement our other testing in our projects we usually have something like

inline fun <reified T> testFactory(noinline builder: TestContextBuilder<Unit, T>.() -> Unit): Stream<out DynamicNode> =
    testFactoryFor(
        rootContext(builder = builder)
    )

and don't inherit from

JUnit5Minutests

so we can express tests as "multiple" contexts

I'm glad you like it. Does the fact that JUnit5Minutests will now run any public methods returning the result of

rootContext

allow you to do the same thing?

yeah i think that would work just as well. i think we've been following this pattern so far as we've been replacing all of our

DynamicTest.dynamicTest

and

DynamicContainer.dynamicContainer

, since those methods usually are something like

@TestFactory
fun `some test method`(): Stream<out DynamicNode> = Stream.of(...)

seems like

testFactory

is our own analogous representation when we started to use minutest (which is recently)

I'm discovering that I'm not the only one to have seen the potential of @TestFactory!
