Test.check 0.6.2 API documentation

Positional factory function for class clojure.test.check.generators.Generator.

A recursive generator that will generate many different, often nested, values

Like any, but avoids characters that the shell will interpret as actions, like 7 and 14 (bell and alternate character set command)

Create a new generator that passes the result of gen into function k. k should return a new generator. This allows you to create new generators that depend on the value of other generators. For example, to create a generator which first generates a vector of integers, and then chooses a random element from that vector:

(gen/bind (gen/such-that not-empty (gen/vector gen/int))
          ;; this function takes a realized vector,
          ;; and then returns a new generator which
          ;; chooses a random element from it
          gen/elements)

Generates one of true or false. Shrinks to false.

Generates java.lang.Bytes, using the full byte-range.

Generates byte-arrays.

Generates character from 0-255.

Generate alpha characters.

Deprecated - use char-alphanumeric instead.

Generate alphanumeric characters.

Generate alphanumeric characters.

Generate only ascii character.

Create a generator that returns numbers in the range min-range to max-range, inclusive.

Create a generator that randomly chooses an element from coll.

Examples:

(gen/elements [:foo :bar :baz])

Create a generator that chooses a generator from pairs based on the provided likelihoods. The likelihood of a given generator being chosen is its likelihood divided by the sum of all likelihoods

Examples:

(gen/frequency [[5 gen/int] [3 (gen/vector gen/int)] [2 gen/boolean]])

Test is x is a generator. Generators should be treated as opaque values.

Like clojure.core/hash-map, except the values are generators. Returns a generator that makes maps with the supplied keys and values generated using the supplied generators.

Examples:

(gen/hash-map :a gen/boolean :b gen/nat)

Generates a positive or negative integer bounded by the generator’s size parameter. (Really returns a long)

Generate keywords without namespaces.

Generate keywords with optional namespaces.

Like vector, but generates lists.

Create a generator that generates maps, with keys chosen from key-gen and values chosen from val-gen.

Factory function for class clojure.test.check.generators.Generator, taking a map of keywords to field values.

Generates natural numbers, starting at zero. Shrinks to zero.

Generate negative integers bounded by the generator’s size parameter.

Create a new generator that is just like gen, except does not shrink at all. This can be useful when shrinking is taking a long time or is not applicable to the domain.

Modifies a generator so that it doesn’t generate empty collections.

Examples:

;; generate a vector of booleans, but never the empty vector
(gen/not-empty (gen/vector gen/boolean))

Create a generator that randomly chooses a value from the list of provided generators. Shrinks toward choosing an earlier generator, as well as shrinking the value generated by the chosen generator.

Examples:

(one-of [gen/int gen/boolean (gen/vector gen/int)])

Generate positive integers bounded by the generator’s size parameter.

Generates a clojure.lang.Ratio. Shrinks toward 0. Not all values generated will be ratios, as many values returned by / are not ratios.

This is a helper for writing recursive (tree-shaped) generators. The first argument should be a function that takes a generator as an argument, and produces another generator that ‘contains’ that generator. The vector function in this namespace is a simple example. The second argument is a scalar generator, like boolean. For example, to produce a tree of booleans:

(gen/recursive-gen gen/vector gen/boolean)

Vectors or maps either recurring or containing booleans or integers:

(gen/recursive-gen (fn [inner] (gen/one-of [(gen/vector inner) (gen/map inner inner)])) (gen/one-of [gen/boolean gen/int]))

Create a new generator with size always bound to n.

Create a generator that always returns value, and never shrinks. You can think of this as the constantly of generators.

Generate strictly negative integers bounded by the generator’s size parameter.

Generate strictly positive integers bounded by the generator’s size parameter.

Return a sequence of num-samples (default 10) realized values from generator.

Return a sequence of realized values from generator.

Create a new generator like gen, but will consider nodes for shrinking even if their parent passes the test (up to one additional level).

Create a generator that generates random permutations of coll. Shrinks toward the original collection: coll. coll will be turned into a vector, if it’s not already.

Create a generator that depends on the size parameter. sized-gen is a function that takes an integer and returns a generator.

Generate strings. May generate unprintable characters.

Deprecated - use string-alphanumeric instead.

Generate alphanumeric strings.

Generate alphanumeric strings.

Generate ascii strings.

Create a generator that generates values from gen that satisfy predicate pred. Care is needed to ensure there is a high chance gen will satisfy pred. By default, such-that will try 10 times to generate a value that satisfies the predicate. If no value passes this predicate after this number of iterations, a runtime exception will be throw. You can pass an optional third argument to change the number of times tried. Note also that each time such-that retries, it will increase the size parameter.

Examples:

;; generate non-empty vectors of integers
;; (note, gen/not-empty does exactly this)
(gen/such-that not-empty (gen/vector gen/int))

Generate symbols without namespaces.

Generate symbols with optional namespaces.

Create a generator that returns a vector, whose elements are chosen from the generators in the same position. The individual elements shrink according to their generator, but the value will never shrink in count.

Examples:

(def t (tuple gen/int gen/boolean))
(sample t)
;; => ([1 true] [2 true] [2 false] [1 false] [0 true] [-2 false] [-6 false]
;; =>  [3 true] [-4 false] [9 true]))

Create a generator whose elements are chosen from gen. The count of the vector will be bounded by the size generator parameter.
