Is there a reasonably simple way to implement generative tests on an async function? It looks like this might be impossible without reimplementing test.check or clojure.spec.test.alpha/check?

it depends how you do your async functioning

if you just call async functions with abandon, it is hard, if create a an Executor that you can shutdown and run them on that Executor it is pretty easy

basically, if you can put a function like interface on it, it doesn't matter if internally it does stuff asynchronously

@gfredericks That's the conclusion I was coming to 😞

Yeah, it will take some work to add that

Definitely a priority

I'm trying to test a remote call to R against a cljs call which should return the same values and was hoping to get test.check style behaviour.

remote call = ajax?

yep

A couple heavy workarounds: test from clj, either by rewriting your logic in cljc or shelling out to node

Neither of those are nice obviously

Interesting idea though. I suspect the stats model would port to clj without too many problems.

Thanks - I'll think about that approach.
