Testing

Note

The skotch test subcommand is planned but not yet implemented.

Current state

Skotch does not yet have a built-in test runner. The skotch test subcommand exists in the CLI but prints a “not yet implemented” message.

Workarounds

Manual testing with the REPL

Use the REPL to test functions interactively:

skotch repl

skotch> fun add(a: Int, b: Int): Int = a + b
skotch> println(add(2, 3))
5

Script-based testing

Write .kts scripts that exercise your functions and check results:

test.kts

fun add(a: Int, b: Int): Int = a + b

val result = add(2, 3)
if (result == 5) {
    println("PASS: add(2, 3) = 5")
} else {
    println("FAIL: add(2, 3) = $result, expected 5")
}

skotch run test.kts

Compile and run with Java

Compile your code and run it with java:

skotch emit --target jvm tests.kt -o TestsKt.class
java -cp . TestsKt

Planned features

The skotch test command will discover functions annotated with @Test and run them. This is blocked on annotation support in the compiler.
