I’m very curious to know which solution is used by Haxe developers to unit testing them code. Do not hesitate to add some details about your preference. :slight_smile:

Buddy. Like the bdd style syntax and it is familiar to js developers used to mocha, and works well across targets.

For information haxe.unit is removed from the std in haxe 4 (available in hx3compat (1.0.3)).

I’ve just tried to edit it for you, but got You cannot add or remove poll options after the first 5 minutes. You should close this topic and create a new one instead.

Back to the topic. I actually quite enjoy using haxe.unit.* and I’m a bit sad to see it go… It is perfect for adding tests for tiny libraries.

Nice to see so many Buddy users, we should spread word about it, as it took me some time till I got tests set up and running at the beginning :slight_smile: What I lack most in unit testing in haxe are stubs/mocks maybe someone knows some good lib that can mock functions and check if they were called, and what params were used ?

http://lib.haxe.org/p/mockatoo/ is a good one, the official repo is not maintained, but if you look into the github network, you can find more recent version, like : GitHub - DoclerLabs/mockatoo: A cross platform mocking framework for Haxe. Supports JavaScript, Flash, C++, PHP and Neko.

I’m using haxe.unit.* but it was just a simple tool to start.

Wow, buddy looks very cool. I like the “natural language” style.
