func DescribeTable ¶
func DescribeTable(description string, itBody interface{}, entries ...TableEntry) bool
DescribeTable describes a table-driven test.
For example:
DescribeTable("a simple table", func(x int, y int, expected bool) { Ω(x > y).Should(Equal(expected)) }, Entry("x > y", 1, 0, true), Entry("x == y", 0, 0, false), Entry("x < y", 0, 1, false), )
The first argument to `DescribeTable` is a string description. The second argument is a function that will be run for each table entry. Your assertions go here - the function is equivalent to a Ginkgo It. The subsequent arguments must be of type `TableEntry`. We recommend using the `Entry` convenience constructors.
The `Entry` constructor takes a string description followed by an arbitrary set of parameters. These parameters are passed into your function.
Under the hood, `DescribeTable` simply generates a new Ginkgo `Describe`. Each `Entry` is turned into an `It` within the `Describe`.
It's important to understand that the `Describe`s and `It`s are generated at evaluation time (i.e. when Ginkgo constructs the tree of tests and before the tests run).
Individual Entries can be focused (with FEntry) or marked pending (with PEntry or XEntry). In addition, the entire table can be focused or marked pending with FDescribeTable and PDescribeTable/XDescribeTable.
func FDescribeTable ¶
func FDescribeTable(description string, itBody interface{}, entries ...TableEntry) bool
You can focus a table with `FDescribeTable`. This is equivalent to `FDescribe`.
func PDescribeTable ¶
func PDescribeTable(description string, itBody interface{}, entries ...TableEntry) bool
You can mark a table as pending with `PDescribeTable`. This is equivalent to `PDescribe`.
func XDescribeTable ¶
func XDescribeTable(description string, itBody interface{}, entries ...TableEntry) bool
You can mark a table as pending with `XDescribeTable`. This is equivalent to `XDescribe`.
type TableEntry ¶
TableEntry represents an entry in a table test. You generally use the `Entry` constructor.
type TableEntry struct { Description string Parameters []interface{} Pending bool Focused bool }
func Entry ¶
func Entry(description string, parameters ...interface{}) TableEntry
Entry constructs a TableEntry.
The first argument is a required description (this becomes the content of the generated Ginkgo `It`). Subsequent parameters are saved off and sent to the callback passed in to `DescribeTable`.
Each Entry ends up generating an individual Ginkgo It.
func FEntry ¶
func FEntry(description string, parameters ...interface{}) TableEntry
You can focus a particular entry with FEntry. This is equivalent to FIt.
func PEntry ¶
func PEntry(description string, parameters ...interface{}) TableEntry
You can mark a particular entry as pending with PEntry. This is equivalent to PIt.
func XEntry ¶
func XEntry(description string, parameters ...interface{}) TableEntry
You can mark a particular entry as pending with XEntry. This is equivalent to XIt.
