I'm writing EUnit tests for Erlang code.
I have a source module:
-module(prob_list).
-export([intersection/2,union/2]).
probability([], _Item) -> false;
probability([{First,Probability}|Rest], Item) ->
if
First == Item -> Probability;
true -> probability(Rest, Item)
end.
...
...
...
and a unit-test module:
-module(prob_list_tests).
-include_lib("eunit/include/eunit.hrl").
-define(TEST_LIST,[{3,0.2},{4,0.6},{5,1.0},{6,0.5}]).
-define(TEST_LIST1,[{2,0.9},{3,0.6},{6,0.1},{8,0.5}]).
-define(TEST_UNO_LIST,[{2,0.5}]).
probability_test() -> ?assertNot(prob_list:probability([],3)),
?assertEqual(0.5,prob_list:probability(?TEST_UNO_LIST,2)),
?assertNot(prob_list:probability(?TEST_UNO_LIST,3)),
?assertEqual(0.2,prob_list:probability(?TEST_LIST,3)),
?assertEqual(1.0,prob_list:probability(?TEST_LIST,5)),
?assertNot(prob_list:probability(?TEST_LIST,7)).
...
...
...
When I run eunit:test(prob_list,[verbose])
it says:
prob_list_tests: probability_test...*failed*
::undef
but when I export probability/2
in my prob_list
module, everything is ok.
Is there any way to test private functions?
Ok, so here it goes:
dclements gave me a nice hint of how can I accomplish what I've asked. I don't want to put all my tests in source module, you can see a nice example of keeping the apart here: Erlang EUnit – introduction
Now my solution is to export all functions on TEST compilation. So you put:
-define(NOTEST, true).
-export([intersection/2,union/2]).
-ifdef(TEST).
-export([intersection/2,union/2,contains/2,probability/2,lesslist/2]).
-endif.
And then compile with erlc -DTEST *.erl
to run tests, and ordinary compile to export only needed functions.
