A protocol for defining the synchronous DSL usable from Quick synchronous specs.
`
beforeSuite(_:)
` Extension method
Defines a closure to be run prior to any examples in the test suite. You may define an unlimited number of these closures, but there is no guarantee as to the order in which they’re run.
If the test suite crashes before the first example is run, this closure will not be executed.
Swift
public static func beforeSuite(_ closure: @escaping BeforeSuiteClosure)
| closure |
The closure to be run prior to any examples in the test suite.
|
`
afterSuite(_:)
` Extension method
Defines a closure to be run after all of the examples in the test suite. You may define an unlimited number of these closures, but there is no guarantee as to the order in which they’re run.
If the test suite crashes before all examples are run, this closure will not be executed.
Swift
public static func afterSuite(_ closure: @escaping AfterSuiteClosure)
| closure |
The closure to be run after all of the examples in the test suite.
|
`
sharedExamples(_:closure:)
` Extension method
Defines a group of shared examples. These examples can be re-used in several locations by using the itBehavesLike function.
Remark
sharedExamples is untyped. Please use Behavior instead, as it offers type-safety.
Swift
public static func sharedExamples(_ name: String, closure: @escaping () -> Void)
| name |
The name of the shared example group. This must be unique across all shared example groups defined in a test suite.
|
| closure |
A closure containing the examples. This behaves just like an example group defined using describe or context–the closure may contain any number of beforeEach and afterEach closures, as well as any number of examples (defined using it).
|
`
sharedExamples(_:closure:)
` Extension method
Defines a group of shared examples. These examples can be re-used in several locations by using the itBehavesLike function.
Remark
sharedExamples and the context passed in to it are untyped. Please use Behavior instead, as it offers type-safety.
The closure takes a SharedExampleContext as an argument. This context is a function that can be executed to retrieve parameters passed in via an itBehavesLike function.
Swift
public static func sharedExamples(_ name: String, closure: @escaping SharedExampleClosure)
| name |
The name of the shared example group. This must be unique across all shared example groups defined in a test suite.
|
| closure |
A closure containing the examples. This behaves just like an example group defined using describe or context–the closure may contain any number of beforeEach and afterEach closures, as well as any number of examples (defined using it).
|
`
describe(_:closure:)
` Extension method
Defines an example group. Example groups are logical groupings of examples. Example groups can share setup and teardown code.
Swift
public static func describe(_ description: String, closure: () -> Void)
| description |
An arbitrary string describing the example group.
|
| closure |
A closure that can contain other examples.
|
`
context(_:closure:)
` Extension method
Defines an example group. Equivalent to describe.
Swift
public static func context(_ description: String, closure: () -> Void)
`
beforeEach(_:)
` Extension method
Defines a closure to be run prior to each example in the current example group. This closure is not run for pending or otherwise disabled examples. An example group may contain an unlimited number of beforeEach. They’ll be run in the order they’re defined, but you shouldn’t rely on that behavior.
Swift
public static func beforeEach(_ closure: @escaping BeforeExampleClosure)
| closure |
The closure to be run prior to each example.
|
`
beforeEach(_:)
` Extension method
Identical to Quick.DSL.beforeEach, except the closure is provided with metadata on the example that the closure is being run prior to.
Swift
public static func beforeEach(_ closure: @escaping BeforeExampleWithMetadataClosure)
`
afterEach(_:)
` Extension method
Defines a closure to be run after each example in the current example group. This closure is not run for pending or otherwise disabled examples. An example group may contain an unlimited number of afterEach. They’ll be run in the order they’re defined, but you shouldn’t rely on that behavior.
Swift
public static func afterEach(_ closure: @escaping AfterExampleClosure)
| closure |
The closure to be run after each example.
|
`
afterEach(_:)
` Extension method
Identical to Quick.DSL.afterEach, except the closure is provided with metadata on the example that the closure is being run after.
Swift
public static func afterEach(_ closure: @escaping AfterExampleWithMetadataClosure)
`
aroundEach(_:)
` Extension method
Defines a closure to that wraps each example in the current example group. This closure is not run for pending or otherwise disabled examples.
The closure you pass to aroundEach receives a callback as its argument, which it MUST call exactly one for the example to run properly:
aroundEach { runExample in doSomeSetup() runExample() doSomeCleanup() }
This callback is particularly useful for test decartions that can’t split into a separate beforeEach and afterEach. For example, running each example in its own autorelease pool (provided by Task) requires aroundEach:
aroundEach { runExample in autoreleasepool { runExample() } checkObjectsNoLongerRetained() }
You can also use aroundEach to guarantee proper nesting of setup and cleanup operations in situations where their relative order matters.
An example group may contain an unlimited number of aroundEach callbacks. They will nest inside each other, with the first declared in the group nested at the outermost level.
Swift
public static func aroundEach(_ closure: @escaping AroundExampleClosure)
| closure |
The closure that wraps around each example.
|
`
aroundEach(_:)
` Extension method
Identical to Quick.DSL.aroundEach, except the closure receives metadata about the example that the closure wraps.
Swift
public static func aroundEach(_ closure: @escaping AroundExampleWithMetadataClosure)
`
justBeforeEach(_:)
` Extension method
Defines a closure to be run prior to each example but after any beforeEach blocks. This closure is not run for pending or otherwise disabled examples. An example group may contain an unlimited number of justBeforeEach. They’ll be run in the order they’re defined, but you shouldn’t rely on that behavior.
Swift
public static func justBeforeEach(_ closure: @escaping BeforeExampleClosure)
| closure |
The closure to be run prior to each example and after any beforeEach blocks
|
`
it(_:file:line:closure:)
` Extension method

Swift
public static func it(_ description: String, file: FileString = #file, line: UInt = #line, closure: @escaping ExampleClosure)
| description |
An arbitrary string describing what the example is meant to specify.
|

`
itBehavesLike(_:file:line:)
` Extension method
Inserts the examples defined using a sharedExamples function into the current example group. The shared examples are executed at this location, as if they were written out manually.
Swift
public static func itBehavesLike(_ name: String, file: FileString = #file, line: UInt = #line)
| name |
The name of the shared examples group to be executed. This must be identical to the name of a shared examples group defined using sharedExamples. If there are no shared examples that match the name given, an exception is thrown and the test suite will crash.

The absolute path to the file containing the current example group. A sensible default is provided.
|
| line |
The line containing the current example group. A sensible default is provided.
|
`
itBehavesLike(_:file:line:sharedExampleContext:)
` Extension method
Inserts the examples defined using a sharedExamples function into the current example group. The shared examples are executed at this location, as if they were written out manually. This function also passes those shared examples a context that can be evaluated to give the shared examples extra information on the subject of the example.
Swift
public static func itBehavesLike(_ name: String, file: FileString = #file, line: UInt = #line, sharedExampleContext: @escaping SharedExampleContext)
| name |
The name of the shared examples group to be executed. This must be identical to the name of a shared examples group defined using sharedExamples. If there are no shared examples that match the name given, an exception is thrown and the test suite will crash.
|
| sharedExampleContext |

`
itBehavesLike(_:file:line:context:)
` Extension method
Inserts the examples defined using a Behavior into the current example group. The shared examples are executed at this location, as if they were written out manually. This function also passes a strongly-typed context that can be evaluated to give the shared examples extra information on the subject of the example.
Swift
public static func itBehavesLike<C>(_ behavior: Behavior<C>.Type, file: FileString = #file, line: UInt = #line, context: @escaping () -> C)
| behavior |

Swift
public static func pending(_ description: String, file: FileString = #file, line: UInt = #line, closure: @escaping () throws -> Void)
| description |
An arbitrary string describing the example or example group.
|
| closure |
A closure that will not be evaluated.
