First, some brief background/context: I've been playing around with Clojure
for a while, mostly just doing Project Euler problems. I'm taking the
"Algorithms Specialization" from Coursera, and decided to do all the
programming assignments in Clojure as a way of tackling some larger, deeper
problems. But overall, my understanding of Clojure overall is still fairly
mild.
What I want to do, is write some scaffolding around the weekly programming
tasks that automates the execution of the user-contributed test-cases. I'd
like to be able to add a new form to be tested in a single place (e.g., the
project's core.clj file) and have a re-compile be able to find out that the
new namespace is now in place, locate the test-files, and execute the form
with each test-input.
I'm pretty sure I can handle locating the test files as long as they're on
the file system (I'm looking at the fs package for walking around the file
system). But is there a way to (semi-)transparently handle the data files
being resources within the JAR, as well?
Also, how would I take a pair of strings (namespace and form-name,
respectively) and turn that into the callable function? For example, if my
set of desired test-forms were a simple nested list:
(("algorithms.class1.week1.karatsuba-mult" "karatsuba-mult")
("algorithms.class1.week2.count-inv" "count-inv")
...)
(Currently, the last ns element is the same as the function-name to call,
but some of these will have multiple implementations that I'll want to time
for comparison, so this won't always be the case.)
So, for the first "test", I want to turn
("algorithms.class1.week1.karatsuba-mult"
"karatsuba-mult") into a binding that will call
algorithms.class1.week1.karatsuba-mult/karatsuba-mult when used as a
function. I know how to do this in other languages (my strongest is Perl,
but don't hold that against me!), just not in Clojure.
The interface of all tests is the same-- they take the name of the input
file as a single input, and return a string as a result (I have
result-files in the same dirs as the input files, for comparison. I just
need to be able to iterate over the forms to test, and the test-cases for
each form.
(I say "I just need", but I'll probably be back with more questions after I
get these answered...)
