ref https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/24225 related https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/24306 > Code in branches must not affect semantics of the code that follows the `when nimvm` statement. E.g. it must not define symbols that are used in the following code. The test shouldn't have passed when https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/24306 would be implemented somehow. Some third packages have already misused `when nimvm` by defining symbols in the other branch of `when nimvm`. e.g. in https://github.com/status-im/nim-unittest2/pull/34 ```nim when nimvm: discard else: let suiteName {.inject.} = nameParam use(suiteName) ```
This directory contains the test cases.
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.
