SHTK_UNITTEST_SET_EXPECT_FAILURE(3) DragonFly Library Functions Manual
NAME
shtk_unittest_set_expect_failure - Makes the test expect a failure
LIBRARY
shtk_import unittest
SYNOPSIS
shtk_unittest_set_expect_failure
DESCRIPTION
The shtk_unittest_set_expect_failure function changes the behavior of the
test so that a failure indicates success and a pass indicates a failure.
Changing the expectation of the test to a failure is useful for test
cases that exercise a known bug: while the bug is live, the test case
will pass with a message describing the error encountered; however, when
the bug is fixed, the test will start failing indicating that it needs to
be revised.
shtk_unittest_set_expect_failure can only be called once during the
execution of a test case and its effects cannot be reversed.
