When matching a `template` with an `untyped` argument fails because of a
mismatching typed argument, `presentFailedCandidates` tries to sem every
single argument to show their types, but trying to type the `untyped`
argument can fail if it's supposed to use an injected symbol, so we get
an unrelated error message like "undeclared identifier".
Instead we use `tryExpr` as the comment suggests, setting the type to
`untyped` if it fails to compile. We could also maybe check if an
`untyped` argument is expected in its place and not try to compile the
expression if it is but this would require a bit of reorganizing the
code here and IMO it's better to have the information of what type it
would be if it can be typed.
(cherry picked from commit 34719cad9d)
Each test must have a filename of the form: t*.nim
Note:Testament is only aware of tests under a directory (eg tests/foo/) and will ignore
top-level tests like tests/tbar.nim.
Specs
Each test can contain a spec in a discard """ ... """ block.
Check out the parseSpec procedure in the specs module for a full and reliable reference
action
Specifies what action this test should take.
Default: run
Options:
compile - compiles the module and fails the test if compilations fails.
run - compiles and runs the module, fails the test if compilation or
execution of test code fails.
reject - compiles the module and fails the test if compilation succeeds.
There are certain spec keys that imply run, including output and
outputsub.
Categories
Each folder under this directory represents a test category, which can be
tested by running koch tests pcat <category> (or cat to avoid parallel
testing, which is slower).
The folder dll contains simple DLL tests.
The folder realtimeGC contains a test for validating that the realtime GC
can run properly without linking against the nimrtl.dll/so.
