May 18, 2017 Fails to use testFilename in unittest | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
There is a ongoing discussion about temp file over here: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/sbehcxusxxibmpkaeopl@forum.dlang.org I have a question about generating a temporary file to write test data. I can create my own file and use it but just want to use the existing tool for convenience. testFilename() is used all over phobos. So, I don't understand why it does not work on my code. The following code fails to compile. % cat testFile.d #!/usr/bin/env rdmd import std.stdio; unittest{ static import std.file; auto deleteme = testFilename(); scope(failure) printf("Failed test at line %d\n", __LINE__); scope(exit) std.file.remove(deleteme); // Do some stuffs with open or writing and reading of the temp file. assert(true); } void main(string [] args){ writeln("Main"); } |

Actually, it's not used all over the place in Phobos. It's only used std.stdio, where it's a private function in a version(unittest) block. It's not part of the public API. And other modules that need something similar have their own solution.
std.stdio has
version(unittest) string testFilename(string file = __FILE__, size_t line =
__LINE__) @safe
{
import std.conv : text;
import std.file : deleteme;
import std.path : baseName;
// filename intentionally contains non-ASCII (Russian) characters for
test Issue 7648
return text(deleteme, "-детка.", baseName(file), ".", line);
}
and std.file has
@property string deleteme() @safe
{
import std.conv : to;
import std.path : buildPath;
import std.process : thisProcessID;
static _deleteme = "deleteme.dmd.unittest.pid";
static _first = true;
if (_first)
{
_deleteme = buildPath(tempDir(), _deleteme) ~
to!string(thisProcessID);
_first = false;
}
return _deleteme;
}
If you want to use anything like them, you'll need to declare them in your own code.

That's exactly the code I looked at. And yes, I checked std.stdio to see many occurrences of testFilename.

My point is that it's a private function for testing std.stdio and not intended to be part of the public API or be used by anyone else (it's not even used anywhere else in Phobos). None of the functions in Phobos that do that sort of thing are in the public API. You can copy-paste testFilename (and std.file.deleteme, since it uses that) into your own code and use them if you like, but the ones in Phobos are just there for Phobos. The only unit testing-specific functionality that Phobos provides beyond what the language itself has is in std.exception with functions such as assertThrown.

Understood. I copied the code. Thanks
