**µTest — A small C testing library** * [Main](./mutest.md.html) ## Hooks µTest allows calling custom functions before and after each test suite, as well as before and after each specification. Typically, these functions are used to perform environment checks that may lead to different testing conditions; or to set up mock objects and state that will be used in the specifications and expectations. For instance, a hook called before all specifications can set up a server connection, and a hook called after all specifications can close it gracefully, instead of relying on the end of the process. Additionally, you can use hook functions to decide whether or not a suite or a specification need to run at all; in the case above, if the server connection is not available, you could decide to skip the whole test suite without necessarily failing the test. ### Includes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ### Functions MUTEST_PUBLIC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ void mutest_before (mutest_hook_func_t hook); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sets the function to be called once before a suite defined by `mutest_describe()`. For instance: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ static void before_func (void) { } static void hooks_suite (mutest_suite_t *suite) { // test cases } MUTEST_MAIN ( // runs once before all tests cases mutest_before (before_func); mutest_describe ("hooks", hooks_suite); ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hook : a `mutest_hook_func_t` function ---- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ void mutest_after (mutest_hook_func_t hook); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sets the function to be called once after a suite defined by `mutest_describe()`. For instance: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ static void after_func (void) { } static void hooks_suite (mutest_suite_t *suite) { // test cases } MUTEST_MAIN ( // runs once after all tests cases mutest_after (after_func); mutest_describe ("hooks", hooks_suite); ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hook : a `mutest_hook_func_t` function ---- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ void mutest_before_each (mutest_hook_func_t hook); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sets the function to be called before every specification defined by `mutest_it()`. For instance: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ static void before_each_func (void) { } static void hooks_suite (mutest_suite_t *suite) { // runs before each tests case mutest_before_each (before_each_func); // test cases } MUTEST_MAIN ( mutest_describe ("hooks", hooks_suite); ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hook : a `mutest_hook_func_t` function ---- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ void mutest_after_each (mutest_hook_func_t hook); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sets the function to be called after each specification defined by `mutest_it()`. For instance: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ static void after_each_func (void) { } static void hooks_suite (mutest_suite_t *suite) { // runs after each tests case mutest_after_each (after_each_func); // test cases } MUTEST_MAIN ( mutest_describe ("hooks", hooks_suite); ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hook : a `mutest_hook_func_t` function ### Types ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ typedef void (* mutest_hook_func_t) (void) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The prototype of a function to pass to `mutest_before()`, `mutest_before_each()`, `mutest_after_each()`, or `mutest_after()`.
