Clojurians Log v2

I need to generate a list of maps that have distinct :number key. For example [{:number 1 ..}, {:number 2 ..}] and I need these numbers to be sequential. I tried (gen/vector-distinct-by :number (gen/hash-map :number gen/pos-int ...) and it does work but not as sequential numbers. I don't know now if I should try to create a generator to replace gen/pos-int or the vector-distinct-by. rsrs

test.check generators are generally for creating random things, not sequential things like that

there may be some way to do it (gen an int that's the size of the range, gen/fmap that with range, gen/bind that with something that makes coll of maps)

but you're going to be fighting the tide there

gen the collection (w/o numbers) and the minimum number separately; then gen/fmap them both to set all the numbers

(gen/fmap (fn [{:keys [list-of-maps min-number]}] (map #(assoc %1 :number %2) list-of-maps (iterate inc min-number))) (gen/tuple gen-list-of-maps-without-number gen/large-integer))

@gfredericks thanks for the guidelines... I did some adaptations to work as I intended.

(def gen-list-of-maps-without-number (gen/not-empty (gen/list (gen/hash-map :testing gen/string-alpha-numeric
                                                                            :values gen/double))))
(gen/fmap (fn [[list-of-maps min-number]]
            (map #(assoc %1 :number %2) list-of-maps (iterate inc min-number)))
          (gen/not-empty (gen/tuple gen-list-of-maps-without-number (gen/large-integer* {:min 1 :max 72}))))

@iagwanderson the not-empty around tuple can be removed

Otherwise looks good

When I ran a test using defspec , I tried two kind of conditionals: 1) Only using a (and .. form and returning true for all branches of the test and 2) using is from clojure.test inside the (and.. form. I did this because without the is I cannot see which branch actually failed, I only get back the map with the current output and the smallest input that provides the failure.

I would like to know the branch that failed

the real problem is that I have 200+ assertions now being reported by clojure.test if I place the is inside it and I lose the smallest input that provided the failure

make each branch a separate defspec

I thought about that, in this case here, I am validating the size of the returned list and them some content in the list.

it seems a lot of duplication of code to test only the count for example

they are distinct properties however

seems like @gfredericks had some ideas about that in this library: https://github.com/gfredericks/test.chuck
