description

This plugin provides a small set of commands to facilitate behaviour-driven design of vim plugins. It basically consists of two parts:     spec   ... BDD-related commands     should ... Convenience functions for testing According to BDD theory, you are supposed to write a specification first and then make the code fulfill that specification. If you don't believe in BDD, you could also think of spec.vim as a more convenient approach to unit testing. An example specification could look like this:     SpecBegin 'title': 'Foo', 'sfile': 'autoload/foo.vim'     It should add numbers.     Should be equal foo#Add(1, 2), 3          It should not add values of incompatible types.     Should throw something 'foo#Add("1", 2)' Specification scripts basically are normal vim scripts but must be run by the |:Spec| command.     :Spec[!] [PATH]         Run one or more specification files.         PATH can be either a file or a directory. Each specification file should contain a :SpecBegin command that defines the title, and optionally the script context, before/after commands, the contents of a scratch buffer, option sets etc.     :SpecBegin [ARGUMENTS AS INNER DICTIONNARY]         Establish the environment for the current specification.         Known keys for ARGUMENTS:                    title   ... The test's title.           file    ... The script context.           before  ... Code to be run before each test           after   ... Code to be run after each test           scratch ... Run spec in scratch buffer           cleanup ... A list of function names that will be removed           options ... Run the spec against different option sets Examples: http://github.com/tomtom/vimtlib/tree/master/spec/
