[PATCH 2/6] unit-tests: add TEST_RUN

From
René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>
Date
Jun 29, 2024, 15:43 UTC
Message-ID
<8175f239-8d4e-49f7-ae0d-dba7df8c365d@web.de>
In-Reply-To
<85b6b8a9-ee5f-42ab-bcbc-49976b30ef33@web.de>

The macro TEST only allows defining a test that consists of a single expression. Add the new macro, TEST_RUN, which provides a way to define unit tests that are made up of one or more statements. A test started with it implicitly ends when the next test is started or test_done() is called.

TEST_RUN allows defining self-contained tests en bloc, a bit like test_expect_success does for regular tests. Unlike TEST it does not require defining wrapper functions for test statements.

No public method is provided for ending a test explicitly, yet; let's see if we'll ever need one.
