Write concise, efficient tests by eliminating repetitive code and combining related test cases. Avoid verbose patterns that can be simplified with better approaches.
Write concise, efficient tests by eliminating repetitive code and combining related test cases. Avoid verbose patterns that can be simplified with better approaches.
Key strategies:
screen:expect()
calls with unchanged=true
{MATCH: +}
Example of verbose vs. concise screen testing:
-- Verbose (avoid):
screen:expect({ any = '.nvim.lua' })
screen:expect({ any = pesc('[i]gnore, (v)iew, (d)eny:'), unchanged = true })
-- Concise (prefer):
screen:expect({ any = 'Allowed.*\n.exrc' })
The goal is maintainable tests that clearly express intent without unnecessary repetition or complexity.
