# Pruebas Unitarias

Tests are Rust functions that verify that the non-test code is functioning in the expected manner. The bodies of test functions typically perform some setup, run the code we want to test, then assert whether the results are what we expect.

Most unit tests go into a `tests` mod with the `#[cfg(test)]` attribute. Test functions are marked with the `#[test]` attribute.

Tests fail when something in the test function panics. There are some helper macros:

- `assert!(expression)` - panics if expression evaluates to `false`.
- `assert_eq!(left, right)` and `assert_ne!(left, right)` - testing left and right expressions for equality and inequality respectively.

    pub fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
        a + b
    }

    // This is a really bad adding function, its purpose is to fail in this
    // example.
    #[allow(dead_code)]
    fn bad_add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
        a - b
    }

    #[cfg(test)]
    mod tests {
        // Note this useful idiom: importing names from outer (for mod tests) scope.
        use super::*;

        #[test]
        fn test_add() {
            assert_eq!(add(1, 2), 3);
        }

        #[test]
        fn test_bad_add() {
            // This assert would fire and test will fail.
            // Please note, that private functions can be tested too!
            assert_eq!(bad_add(1, 2), 3);
        }
    }

Tests can be run with `cargo test`.

    $ cargo test

    running 2 tests
    test tests::test_bad_add ... FAILED
    test tests::test_add ... ok

    failures:

    ---- tests::test_bad_add stdout ----
            thread 'tests::test_bad_add' panicked at 'assertion failed: `(left == right)`
      left: `-1`,
     right: `3`', src/lib.rs:21:8
    note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace.

    failures:
        tests::test_bad_add

    test result: FAILED. 1 passed; 1 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

## Tests and `?`

None of the previous unit test examples had a return type. But in Rust 2018, your unit tests can return `Result<()>`, which lets you use `?` in them! This can make them much more concise.

    fn sqrt(number: f64) -> Result<f64, String> {
        if number >= 0.0 {
            Ok(number.powf(0.5))
        } else {
            Err("negative floats don't have square roots".to_owned())
        }
    }

    #[cfg(test)]
    mod tests {
        use super::*;

        #[test]
        fn test_sqrt() -> Result<(), String> {
            let x = 4.0;
            assert_eq!(sqrt(x)?.powf(2.0), x);
            Ok(())
        }
    }

See “The Edition Guide” for more details.

## Testing panics

To check functions that should panic under certain circumstances, use attribute `#[should_panic]`. This attribute accepts optional parameter `expected =` with the text of the panic message. If your function can panic in multiple ways, it helps make sure your test is testing the correct panic.

Note: Rust also allows a shorthand form `#[should_panic = "message"]`, which works exactly like `#[should_panic(expected = "message")]`. Both are valid; the latter is more commonly used and is considered more explicit.

    pub fn divide_non_zero_result(a: u32, b: u32) -> u32 {
        if b == 0 {
            panic!("Divide-by-zero error");
        } else if a < b {
            panic!("Divide result is zero");
        }
        a / b
    }

    #[cfg(test)]
    mod tests {
        use super::*;

        #[test]
        fn test_divide() {
            assert_eq!(divide_non_zero_result(10, 2), 5);
        }

        #[test]
        #[should_panic]
        fn test_any_panic() {
            divide_non_zero_result(1, 0);
        }

        #[test]
        #[should_panic(expected = "Divide result is zero")]
        fn test_specific_panic() {
            divide_non_zero_result(1, 10);
        }

        #[test]
        #[should_panic = "Divide result is zero"] // This also works
        fn test_specific_panic_shorthand() {
            divide_non_zero_result(1, 10);
        }
    }

Running these tests gives us:

    $ cargo test

    running 4 tests
    test tests::test_any_panic ... ok
    test tests::test_divide ... ok
    test tests::test_specific_panic ... ok
    test tests::test_specific_panic_shorthand ... ok

    test result: ok. 4 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

       Doc-tests tmp-test-should-panic

    running 0 tests

    test result: ok. 0 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

## Running specific tests

To run specific tests one may specify the test name to `cargo test` command.

    $ cargo test test_any_panic
    running 1 test
    test tests::test_any_panic ... ok

    test result: ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 3 filtered out

       Doc-tests tmp-test-should-panic

    running 0 tests

    test result: ok. 0 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

To run multiple tests one may specify part of a test name that matches all the tests that should be run.

    $ cargo test panic
    running 3 tests
    test tests::test_any_panic ... ok
    test tests::test_specific_panic ... ok
    test tests::test_specific_panic_shorthand ... ok

    test result: ok. 3 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 1 filtered out

       Doc-tests tmp-test-should-panic

    running 0 tests

    test result: ok. 0 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

## Ignoring tests

Tests can be marked with the `#[ignore]` attribute to exclude some tests. Or to run them with command `cargo test -- --ignored`

    pub fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
        a + b
    }

    #[cfg(test)]
    mod tests {
        use super::*;

        #[test]
        fn test_add() {
            assert_eq!(add(2, 2), 4);
        }

        #[test]
        fn test_add_hundred() {
            assert_eq!(add(100, 2), 102);
            assert_eq!(add(2, 100), 102);
        }

        #[test]
        #[ignore]
        fn ignored_test() {
            assert_eq!(add(0, 0), 0);
        }
    }

    $ cargo test
    running 3 tests
    test tests::ignored_test ... ignored
    test tests::test_add ... ok
    test tests::test_add_hundred ... ok

    test result: ok. 2 passed; 0 failed; 1 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

       Doc-tests tmp-ignore

    running 0 tests

    test result: ok. 0 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

    $ cargo test -- --ignored
    running 1 test
    test tests::ignored_test ... ok

    test result: ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

       Doc-tests tmp-ignore

    running 0 tests

    test result: ok. 0 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out
