Alcotest_engine
provides a platform-independent test framework.
The main building blocks and combinators are defined here. These can be used to defined tests. The platform-specific runners for these tests are in alcotest
, alcotest-lwt
, alcotest-async
and alcotest-mirage
.
module V1 : sig ... end
Version 1 of the user-facing Alcotest API.
module Platform : sig ... end
Defines platform-dependent functions.
module Private : sig ... end
These modules are exposed for use internally by other Alcotest packages. They do not provide a stable interface.
module Formatters : sig ... end
Alcotest uses Format.std_formatter
and Format.err_formatter
formatters. However, in a parallel context (OCaml 5 and domains), using these values in parallel can lead to data-races, since these values are not domains-safe. As such, Alcotest offers a way to create your own formatter equivalent in behavior to Format.std_formatter
and Format.err_formatter
(i.e. they write well on 1
and 2
) but they can be used without risk even if another library (such as Logs
) uses Format.std_formatter
and/or Format.err_formatter
and is used in parallel.
