Testing helpers and extensions for SwiftRex and Combine

SwiftRex Functional Tests (Use Case)

let (dependencies, scheduler) = self.setup

assert(
    initialValue: AppState.initial,
    reducer: Reducer.myReducer.lift(action: \.actionReducerScope, state: \.stateReducerScope),
    middleware: MyHandler.middleware.inject(dependencies),
    steps: {
        Send(action: .certainAction(.verySpecific))

        SideEffectResult {
            scheduler.advance(by: .seconds(5))
        }

        Send(action: .anotherAction(.withSomeValues(list: [], date: dependencies.now())))

        // if you receive an action and don't add this block, the test will fail to remind you
        Receive { action -> Bool in
            // validates that the received action is what you would expect
            // if this function returns false, the test will fail to show you that you've got an unexpected action
            if case let .my(.expectedAction(list)) = action {
                return list.isEmpty
            } else {
                return false
            }
        }

        SideEffectResult {
            scheduler.advance(by: .seconds(5))
        }

        Send(action: .anotherAction(.stopSomething)).expectStateToHaveChanged { state in
            // if during Send or Receive action, your state is expected to mutate, you must indicate which change is expected to happen here:
            state.somePropertyShouldHaveChangedTo = true
            // any unexpected state mutation will fail the test, as well as any expected state mutation that doesn't occur, will also fail the test
        }

        SideEffectResult {
            scheduler.advance(by: .seconds(5))
        }

        // if you receive an action and don't add this block, the test will fail to remind you
        Receive { action -> Bool in
            // validates that the received action is what you would expect
            // if this function returns false, the test will fail to show you that you've got an unexpected action
            if case let .my(.expectedAction(list)) = action {
                return list.isEmpty
            } else {
                return false
            }
        }.expectStateToHaveChanged { state in
            // if during Send or Receive action, your state is expected to mutate, you must indicate which change is expected to happen here:
            state.somePropertyShouldHaveChangedTo = true
            // any unexpected state mutation will fail the test, as well as any expected state mutation that doesn't occur, will also fail the test
        }
    }
)

Better diagnostics

Result Builders (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10253/) are awesome, however the diagnostics in case of type mismatch or failure to infer the type expression are misleading, incomplete or confusing. Although the Swift Core Team keeps improving the diagnostics every release, you may eventually find yourself in a compiler error that is tricky to understand. In that case, you may want to use the old format, that use plain arrays.

// Instead of:
assert(
    // ...
    steps: {
        Send(action: .certainAction(.verySpecific))

        SideEffectResult {
            scheduler.advance(by: .seconds(5))
        }
    }
)

// You can use:
assert(
    // ...
    steps: [
        Send(action: .certainAction(.verySpecific))
            .asStep,
            
        SideEffectResult {
            scheduler.advance(by: .seconds(5))
        }.asStep
    ]
)

For that:

  • replace steps: { } curly-brackets for square-brackets steps: []
  • add .asStep after each step
  • add comma (,) after each step, except the last

The syntax is not so elegant, but the diagnostics are better.

Combine

Validate Output of Publishers

let operation = assert(
    publisher: myPublisher,
    eventuallyReceives: "🙉", "🙊", "🙈",
    andCompletes: false
)
somethingHappensAndPublisherReceives("🙉")
somethingHappensAndPublisherReceives("🙊")
somethingHappensAndPublisherReceives("🙈")

operation.wait(0.0001)

Validate Output and Successful Completion of Publishers

let operation = assert(
    publisher: myPublisher,
    eventuallyReceives: "🙉", "🙊", "🙈",
    andCompletesWith: .isSuccess
)
somethingHappensAndPublisherReceives("🙉")
somethingHappensAndPublisherReceives("🙊")
somethingHappensAndPublisherReceives("🙈")
somethingHappensAndPublisherCompletes()

operation.wait(0.0001)

Validate Output and some Failure of Publishers

let operation = assert(
    publisher: myPublisher,
    eventuallyReceives: "🙉", "🙊", "🙈",
    andCompletesWith: .isFailure
)
somethingHappensAndPublisherReceives("🙉")
somethingHappensAndPublisherReceives("🙊")
somethingHappensAndPublisherReceives("🙈")
somethingHappensAndPublisherFails(SomeError())

operation.wait(0.0001)

Validate Output and specific Failure of Publishers

let operation = assert(
    publisher: myPublisher,
    eventuallyReceives: "🙉", "🙊", "🙈",
    andCompletesWith: .failedWithError { error in error == SomeError("123") }
)
somethingHappensAndPublisherReceives("🙉")
somethingHappensAndPublisherReceives("🙊")
somethingHappensAndPublisherReceives("🙈")
somethingHappensAndPublisherFails(SomeError("123"))

operation.wait(0.0001)

Validate No Output but completion of Publishers

let operation = assert(
    publisher: myPublisher,
    completesWithoutValues: .isSuccess
)
somethingHappensAndPublisherCompletes()

operation.wait(0.0001)
