Test fixture does not reload system state when running tests interactively
I expected this workflow to work:
- Run a test in my text editor (aka using REPL) using the fixture kit-clj generated
(use-fixtures :once (<my-ns>.test-utils/system-fixture))
- it fails - Change some api route config or code
- Re-run the test and see behavior changed
Especially surprising to me because I was changing the code in the :handler
but even that didn't get updated, because the built reitit API stuff was referencing the old version of that fn. :)
I don't think this should be intended behavior. IMHO using a test fixture implies that it is coming up with repeatable, fresh new state every time the fixture is called. To underscore that difference, with this setup there is no difference between :each
or :once
.
Anyway, if this is not intended behavior, it is because of this code:
https://github.com/kit-clj/kit/blob/master/libs/deps-template/resources/io/github/kit_clj/kit/test/clj/test_utils.clj#L12-L16
I changed mine to always call core/start-app
.
