Expectations Mode

A minor Emacs mode for running Expectations, based upon Clojure test mode.

Note that this is designed for classic expectations, and will not work with the clojure.test version

Important

This package has some major breakage due to changes in the cider API and removal of legacy Emacs functions.

It is probably better to look at CIDER's built-in test features. CIDER has several functions to help you run all your tests.

Installation

Please note Expectations v1.3.7 or greater is required to use expectations-mode.

expectations-mode is not in MELPA, so you must install the package manually.

Download expectations-mode.el, put it somewhere on your Emacs load path, and require it inside of init.el

(require 'expectations-mode)

This will add a clojure-mode-hook to enable expectations-mode whenever a Clojure test file is opened that has a namespace with 'expectations.' or '-expectations' inside of it.

For example namespaces like...

(ns myproject.expectations.core
  (:use expectations))

(ns myproject.core-expectations
  (:use expectations))

...will cause expectations-mode to automatically activate. Where as namespaces like:

(ns myproject.test.core
  (:use clojure.test))

...will be ignored.

Colours

Expectations colourises its output by default. To turn this off and get rid of the annoying characters in your output, add this to your init.el in an appropriate place:

(setenv "EXPECTATIONS_COLORIZE" "false")

Usage

Current key mappings are:

C-c ,    run tests in ns
C-c C-,  run tests in ns
C-c k    clear test results
C-c '    show message for test under cursor

The keybindings are a subset of the bindings used in clojure-test-mode and work the same way.

The shortcuts to run individual tests are not required, as you generally use the -focus version of the expectations macros to run an expectation in isolation.
