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

[dmcg]

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!
