- load(+Load)
- Determines whether or not tests are loaded. When
never
, everything between begin_tests/1 and end_tests/1 is simply ignored. Whenalways
, tests are always loaded. Finally, when using the default valuenormal
, tests are loaded if the code is not compiled with optimisation turned on. - run(+Run)
- Specifies when tests are run. Using
manual
, tests can only be run using run_tests/0 or run_tests/1. Usingmake
, tests will be run for reloaded files, but not for files loaded the first time. Usingmake(all)
make/0 will run all test-suites, not only those that belong to files that are reloaded. - format(+Format)
- Currently one of
tty
(default if there is a console) orlog
.tty
uses terminal control to overwrite successful tests, allowing the user to see the currently running tests and output from failed tests. This is the default of the output is a tty.log
prints a full log of the executed tests and their result and is intended for non-interactive usage. - output(+When)
- If
always
, emit all output as it is produced, ifnever
, suppress all output and ifon_failure
, emit the output if the test fails. - show_blocked(+Bool)
- Show individual blocked tests during the report.
- occurs_check(+Mode)
- Defines the default for the
occurs_check
flag during testing. - cleanup(+Bool)
- If
true
(defaultfalse
), cleanup report at the end of run_tests/1. Used to improve cooperation with memory debuggers such as dmalloc. - jobs(Num)
- Number of jobs to use for concurrent testing. Default is one, implying sequential testing.
- timeout(+Seconds)
- Set timeout for each individual test. This acts as a default that may be overuled at the level of units or individual tests. A timeout of 0 or negative is handled as inifinite.
