Kotlin Multiplatform snapshot ((c|k)lip) manager for tests. Automatically generates and asserts against a
persistent Any::toString() representation of the object until you explicitly trigger an update. Powered by kotlin
compiler plugin to inject relevant keys and paths.
The plugin only works on targets using new IR kotlin compiler (which is pretty much all of them since kotlin 1.5 except JS that still defaults to legacy compiler).
The current version was built using the following tooling versions and is guaranteed to work with this setup. Given the experimental nature of kotlin compiler plugin API, the plugin powering this library is likely to stop working on projects using newer/older kotlin versions
- Kotlin:
1.5.30 - Gradle:
7.2.0 - JDK:
11
Bellow is a list of currently supported targets and planned targets

There's also a subset of targets that you currently cannot run tests on (and as such making the library redundant).
These targets will use a fallback implementation that throws an error on native api access (since those targets will not
execute tests) to enable the general library usage in commonMain source set. If you have a valid use-case of the
library for these targets, please raise an issue to discuss a real implementation.

- Apply the plugin
plugins {
kotlin("multiplatform")
id("dev.petuska.klip") version "<<version>>"
kotlin {
sourceSets {
commonTest {
dependencies {
implementation("dev.petuska:klip:<<version>>")
}
}
}
}
}- (Optional) Configure the plugin extension (shown with default values). For property descriptions. see Gradle Properties
klip {
enabled = true
update = false
klipAnnotations = setOf("dev.petuska.klip.Klippable") // Takes full control of annotations
klipAnnotation("dev.petuska.klip.Klippable") // Appends the annotation to the default ones
scopeAnnotations = setOf( // Takes full control of annotations
"kotlin.test.Test",
"org.junit.Test",
"org.junit.jupiter.api.Test",
"org.testng.annotations.Test"
)
scopeAnnotation("kotlin.test.Test") // Appends the annotation to the default ones
}- Use provided klip assertions anywhere under one of the
scopeAnnotations.
class MyTest {
data class DomainObject(val name: String, val value: String?)
@Test
fun test1() {
assertMatchesClip(DomainObject("Dick", "Dickens"))
DomainObject("John", "Doe").assertKlip()
}
@Test
fun test2() {
doAssertions()
}
private fun doAssertions() {
assertMatchesClip(DomainObject("Joe", "Mama"))
DomainObject("Ben", "Dover").assertKlip()
}
}Most of the DSL configuration options can also be set/overridden via gradle properties
./gradlew <some-task> -Pprop.name=propValue, gradle.properties or ~/.gradle/gradle.properties. Environment
variables are also supported and take precedence over gradle properties. Bellow is the full list of supported
properties:
klip.enabled (KLIP_ENABLED)- toggles the compiler processing on/off.klip.update (KLIP_UPDATE)- if true, will override and update all previous klips during test run.klip.klipAnnotations (KLIP_KLIPANNOTATIONS)- comma separated list of fully qualified names of annotations to process. Only useful when writing your own klippable functions.klip.scopeAnnotations (KLIP_SCOPEANNOTATIONS- comma separated list of fully qualified names of test annotations to scope klip keys.
- Run tests as normal and use generated klip assertions such as
assertMatchesKlip(myObject)ormyObject.assertKlip(). New klips will always be written to file, whereas existing ones (identified by test class scope and given id) will be read and used for assertions. - When the actual value changes, tests will fail since they do not match previous klip. In such cases inspect the
diff

erences and if everything is as expected, re-run test(s) with klip updates enabled. This is done by either
passing a gradle prop
./gradlew test -Pklip.updateor setting an environment variableKLIP_UPDATE=true ./gradlew test.
