This is a mirror of http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1125

PURPOSE: To provide vim scripts with a simple unit testing framework and tools. The framework and tools should resemble JUnit's interface definitions to ease usage of both frameworks (and others based on JUnit). Obviously vim scripts are not java so I will only try to implement the stuff useful to vim scripts. As a first milestone I think the junit.Assert and junit.TestResult classes to get a vim-script unit-testing environment going.

WHY: Well, I have been working on some vim-scripts and read a lot of them the last two weeks and I really, really miss my unit-test (and mock-object, but that is fare fetched I think..:O) tools to get my own stuff of the ground (and making modifications to your's).

THOUGHTS: Writing unit-test code against a UI environment is often very difficult or demanding to creative solutions to be productive. We would like to have a mock-object framework to go with the unit-testing framework.

INSTALLATION: Place this file in your plugin directory (~/.vim/ftplugin/) When you start vim again and open a vim file for editing you should get a message that vimUnit has installed its documentation. To get you started you could try :h vimUnit or :h VUAutoRun

TIPS: Documentation (when written..:o) is found at the bottom of this file. Thanks to code from vimspell.vim it should be self-installing the first time this module is loaded

    If your new to test-first principles and thinking you should start
    with the article: 
        http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/testinfected/testing.htm
    And then surf the web on these locations:
        http://www.junit.org/
        http://xprogramming.com/
        http://www.extremeprogramming.org/

NOTE: 8 Nov 2004 (v 0.1) This is my initial upload. The module is fare from finished. But as I could do with some input from other vim users So I have chosen to let people know I'm working on it.

    To be conform with vim-script naming conventions functions are
    prepended with VU (VimUnit). So stuff you would normaly would call 
    VUAssert are called VUAssert, TestRunner* are called VURunner and so on.
    Global variables starts with vimUnit*
