CHANGES.md.html

1.0.1 (2020-02-12)

  • Add support for an ALCOTEST_COLOR={auto,always,never} environment variable to control the colorization of terminal output. (#209, @mjambon)

  • Fix handling of asynchronous exceptions in Alcotest_{async,lwt}. (#212, @CraigFe @talex5)

1.0.0 (2020-01-14)

  • Require OCaml 4.03. (#159, @hannesm)

  • Change Alcotest_{async,lwt}.test_case to return monadic values. These must be run with the new Alcotest_{async,lwt}.run functions. See examples/lwt/test.ml for an example of the new API. (#167, @CraigFe)

  • Add generation of latest symlinks in the _test directory which point to the most recent test output directory. (#155, @cfcs)

  • Add --compact option for more concise result reporting. (#149, @andersfugmann)

  • Add --tail-errors option for limiting the size of error logs printed to standard output. (#200, @mjambon)

  • Add support for executing subsets of tests via the test subcommand. (#158, @CraigFe)

  • Reject test suites with colliding output directories. (#176, @CraigFe)

  • Restrict the set of characters allowed in test names to alphanumerics, hyphens, underscores and spaces. (#161, @CraigFe)

  • Fix a race condition on creating output directories. (#150, @edwintorok)
