As others have noted separately, Clojure has clojure.test built-in
which is fairly straightforward assertion-based:
(deftest
(is (= :expected (actual-expression))))
At World Singles we use that for our WebDriver-based tests, but we use
Jay Fields' Expectations which has the benefit of simpler behavioral
assertions but runs all tests at JVM shutdown (which is generally
great, but doesn't work well with browser session testing):
(expect :expected (actual-expression))
;; or
(give (actual-expression)
(expect
first :a
second :b))
I've just started looking at Midje for another project and might
update our WebDriver tests to use that instead of clojure.test since
Midje provides a very (very!) rich vocabulary for writing tests. A
simple test would be:
(fact (actual-expression) => :expected)
Both Expectations and Midje have plugins for Leiningen that will watch
your source / tests for changes and automatically run your test suite.
Both of them also have modes for Emacs that provide a very slick
workflow there.
I like Expectations for its clean, simple approach. I'm growing to
like Midje for its sophistication.
