Module Summary

This module is the main EUnit user interface.

###
Description

This module is the main EUnit user interface.

###
Exports

####
start() -> term()

Starts the EUnit server. Normally, you don't need to call this function; it is started automatically.

####
stop() -> term()

Stops the EUnit server. Normally, you don't need to call this function.

####
test(Tests) -> term()

Equivalent to test(Tests, []).

####
test(Tests::term(), Options::[term()]) -> ok | {error, term()}

Runs a set of tests. The format of Tests is described in the section EUnit test representation of the overview.

Example:

      eunit:test(fred)

runs all tests in the module fred and also any tests in the module fred_tests, if that module exists.

Options:

verbose

  Displays more details about the running tests.

print_depth

  Maximum depth to which terms are printed in case of error.

exact_execution

  If this boolean flag is set to true framework will not automatically execute tests found in related module suffixed with "_tests". This behaviour might be unwanted if execution of modules found in a folder is ordered while it contains both source and test modules.

Options in the environment variable EUNIT are also included last in the option list, i.e., have lower precedence than those in Options.

See also: test/1.
