Hi, Jbuilder 1.0+beta19 has just been released in opam. There are several exciting new features in this release, but one I think deserves special attention is the newly added support of inline tests. Inline tests allow to embed tests directly in the library code, in order to have the tests close t…

I am having an issue where inline tests depend upon static files located outside the src directory since jbuilder runs tests from within that directory. Take for example the following: inline test located in foo/src/foo.ml depends upon foo/static/file.file The solution I have come upon is to add …

However, it seems wrong to have to do this for every static directory being used, is there a recommended way to do this? Why does it seem wrong? Jbuilder needs to know what files every command will read in order to schedule commands and avoid re-running commands in incremental builds, so you do n…

Perhaps wrong is the incorrect word, I was wondering if there was a better way to have the behavior I want. Your explanation makes sense for the case where static needs to be copied into the build. Is there a way to accomplish the latter(have inline tests run from SCOPE_ROOT)? Although I anticipate…

There is no way at the moment. In general running things for the directory where they are defined is more modular: for instance you can do mv foo bar/foo and everything will still work as it should without having to modify the tests.

Thanks for the quick replies. Yes, it is definitely better to not have these inter-directory dependencies but it is unfortunately unavoidable for myself at the present. The workaround above is sufficient though, all in all jbuilder is still a 100x improvement over the build system that was in use pr…

Hi Jérémie, great! is there a way to have this work with a preprocess action (not pps) section? (The following example is artificial, as ppx_deriving would pose no problem, but I use visitors which, AFAIK, cannot appear in a pps clause) $ cat jbuild (library ((name tests) (preprocess (action …

Ah cool. Now, is there a way in a per_module to say “all modules except X and Y”? Like the :standard \ ... clause for library modules? I couldn’t find way to handle this.

Hi, I have troubles with jbuilder and inline tests. I have : jbuilder 1.0+beta20 ppx_inline_test.v0.11.0 When I try to run tests, I got the following message : " Error: No inline tests backend found." Here is my project ./src: _build fact.ml fact.mli jbuild ./test: _build jbuild test.…

Ok, no problem, glad that it works now. In the end nothing works better than a good old reboot…
