mos-test

mos-test is port of great defmt-test to mos architecture. It is a alternative test harness that lets you write and run unit tests on all llvm-mos platforms as if you were using the built-in #[test] attribute.

It is compatible with rust-analyzer's ▶ Run Test button, which means you can run your tests straight from VS Code

For a full list of mos-test's capabilities, please refer to the documentation below.

Adding mos-test to an existing project

If you want to add mos-test to an existing Cargo project / package, for each crate that you want to test you need to do these changes in Cargo.toml:

  • add mos-test as a dev-dependency
  • for each crate that you want to test, set harness to false to disable the default test harness, the test crate which depends on std. examples below
# Cargo.toml

# for the library crate (src/lib.rs)
[lib]
harness = false

# for the bin crate (src/main.rs)
[[bin]]
name = "binary_name"
harness = false

# for each crate in the `tests` directory
[[test]]
name = "test-name" # tests/test-name.rs
harness = false

[[test]]
name = "second" # tests/second.rs
harness = false

The other thing to be aware is that cargo test will compile all crates in the package, or workspace. This may include crates that you don't want to test, like src/main.rs or each crate in src/bin or examples. To identify which crates are being compiled by cargo test, run cargo test -j1 -v and look for the --crate-name flag passed to each rustc invocation.

To test only a subset of the crates in the package / workspace you have two options:

  • you can specify each crate when you invoke cargo test. for example, cargo test --lib --test integration tests two crates: the library crate (src/lib.rs) and tests/integration.rs
  • you can disable tests for the crates that you don't want to test -- example below -- and then you can use cargo test to test all crates that were not disabled.

if you have this project structure

$ tree .
.
├── Cargo.toml
├── src
  ├── lib.rs
  └── main.rs
└── tests
   └── integration.rs

and have src/lib.rs set up for tests but don't want to test src/main.rs you'll need to disable tests for src/main.rs

# Cargo.toml
[package]
# ..
name = "app"

[[bin]] # <- add this section
name = "app" # src/main.rs
test = false

Adding state

An #[init] function can be written within the #[tests] module. This function will be executed before all unit tests and its return value, the test suite state, can be passed to unit tests as an argument.

// state shared across unit tests
struct MyState {
    flag: bool,
}

#[defmt_test::tests]
mod tests {
    #[init]
    fn init() -> super::MyState {
        // state initial value
        super::MyState {
            flag: true,
        }
    }

    // This function is called before each test case.
    // It accesses the state created in `init`,
    // though like with `test`, state access is optional.
    #[before_each]
    fn before_each(state: &mut super::MyState) {
        defmt::println!("State flag before is {}", state.flag);
    }

    // This function is called after each test
    #[after_each]
    fn after_each(state: &mut super::MyState) {
        defmt::println!("State flag after is {}", state.flag);
    }

    // this unit test doesn't access the state
    #[test]
    fn assert_true() {
        assert!(true);
    }

    // but this test does
    #[test]
    fn assert_flag(state: &mut super::MyState) {
        assert!(state.flag)
        state.flag = false;
    }
}

Test Outcome

Test functions may either return () and panic on failure, or return any other type that implements the TestOutcome trait, such as Result.

This allows tests to indicate failure via Result, which allows using the ? operator to propagate errors.

Similar to Rust's built-in #[should_panic] attribute, mos-test supports a #[should_error] attribute, which inverts the meaning of the returned TestOutcome. Err makes the test pass, while Ok/() make it fail.
