如何测试不符合Instaparse语法的文本(Clojure)？

Question

我编写了一个项目，在Instaparse (Clojure)中使用上下文无关语法来解析字符串。现在，我想测试几个输入-字符串的解析结果。有些输入字符串可能不适合语法。到目前为止，我只测试了“解析的字符串不符合预期”。但我认为使用(is (thrown? ...))测试异常会更准确。有异常抛出吗？在我看来，生成了一些输出(包含Parse error...)，但没有抛出任何异常。

我的project.clj是：

(defproject com.stackoverflow.clojure/tests "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :description "Tests of Clojure test-framework."
  :url "http://example.com/FIXME"
  :license {:name "Eclipse Public License"
            :url "http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html"}
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.6.0"]
                 [instaparse "1.3.4"]])

我的核心来源是：

(ns com.stackoverflow.clojure.testInstaparseWrongGrammar
  (:require [instaparse.core :as insta]))

(def parser (insta/parser "
    <sentence> = words <DOT>
    DOT        = '.'
    <words>    = word (<SPACE> word)*
    SPACE      = ' '
    word     = #'(?U)\\w+'
"))

(defn formatter [expr] 
  (->> (parser expr)
       (insta/transform {:word identity})
       (apply str)))

我的测试来源是：

(ns com.stackoverflow.clojure.testInstaparseWrongGrammar-test
  (:require [clojure.test :refer :all]
            [com.stackoverflow.clojure.testInstaparseWrongGrammar :refer :all]))

(deftest parser-tests
  (is (= [[:word "Hello"] [:word "World"]] (parser "Hello World.")))
  (is (not (= [[:word "Hello"] [:word "World"]] (parser "Hello World?"))))
  ;(parser "Hello World?")     gives:
  ;
  ;Parse error at line 1, column 12:
  ;Hello World?
  ;           ^
  ;Expected one of:
  ;"." (followed by end-of-string)
  ;" "
)

(deftest formatter-tests
  (is (= "HelloWorld" (formatter "Hello World.")))
  (is (not (= "HelloWorld" (formatter "Hello World?"))))
  ;(formatter "Hello World?")     gives:
  ;"[:index 11][:reason [{:tag :string, :expecting \".\", :full true} {:tag :string, :expecting \" \"}]][:text \"Hello World?\"][:column 12][:line 1]"
)

; run the tests
(run-tests)

我应该如何测试错误(这里:当句子不是以.结尾，而是以!结尾时)？

Answer 1

Instaparse不对解析错误抛出异常；相反，它返回一个"failure对象“(ref：解析错误)。可以使用(insta/failure? result)测试失败对象。

如果希望解析器/格式化程序对意外输入抛出异常，请将其添加到核心中：

(ns com.stackoverflow.clojure.testInstaparseWrongGrammar
  (:require [instaparse.core :as insta])
  (:require [instaparse.failure :as fail]))

(def raw-parser (insta/parser "
    <sentence> = words <DOT>
    DOT        = '.'
    <words>    = word (<SPACE> word)*
    SPACE      = ' '
    word     = #'(?U)\\w+'
"))

; pretty-print a failure as a string
(defn- failure->string [result]
  (with-out-str (fail/pprint-failure result)))

; create an Exception with the pretty-printed failure message
(defn- failure->exn [result]
  (Exception. (failure->string result)))  

(defn parser [expr]
  (let [result (raw-parser expr)]
    (if (insta/failure? result)
      (throw (failure->exn result))
      result)))

(defn formatter [expr]
  (->> (parser expr)
       (insta/transform {:word identity})
       (apply str)))

...and现在您可以在测试中使用(is (thrown? ...))：

(deftest parser-tests
  (is (= [[:word "Hello"] [:word "World"]] (parser "Hello World.")))
  (is (thrown? Exception (= [[:word "Hello"] [:word "World"]] (parser "Hello World?"))))

此方法使用instaparse漂亮地打印故障并将其封装在异常中。另一种方法是使用ex-info，如本回答所述。
