test-warning

Macro

Package: util.test

Arguments: form &key fail-info known-failure

Test that form signals a warning. The order of evaluation of the arguments is keywords first, then form.

The value of the fail-info argument should be nil or a string. If a string, it is printed if the test fails, providing more information with a test failure. (Typical strings are "bug2127" and "can fail when network is slow".)

known-failure if true, affects what is printed when the test fails or succeeds. Thus a failure is reported as "Test failed: known failure: ..." and a success as "Expected test failure for [...] did not occur."

See test-harness.htm for information on the Allegro CL test harness.
