/* Collection of functions useful for debugging
broken nix expressions.
* `trace`-like functions take two values, print
the first to stderr and return the second.
* `traceVal`-like functions take one argument
which both printed and returned.
* `traceSeq`-like functions fully evaluate their
traced value before printing (not just to weak
head normal form like trace does by default).
* Functions that end in `-Fn` take an additional
function as their first argument, which is applied
to the traced value before it is printed.

# -- TESTING --
/* Evaluates a set of tests.
A test is an attribute set `{expr, expected}`,
denoting an expression and its expected result.
The result is a `list` of __failed tests__, each represented as
`{name, expected, result}`,
- expected
- What was passed as `expected`
- result
- The actual `result` of the test
Used for regression testing of the functions in lib; see
tests.nix for more examples.
Important: Only attributes that start with `test` are executed.
- If you want to run only a subset of the tests add the attribute `tests = ["testName"];`
Example:
runTests {
testAndOk = {
expr = lib.and true false;
expected = false;
};
testAndFail = {
expr = lib.and true false;
expected = true;
};
}
->
[
{
name = "testAndFail";
expected = true;
result = false;
}
]

runTests :: {
tests = [ String ];
${testName} :: {
expr :: a;
expected :: a;
};
}
->

{
name :: String;
expected :: a;
result :: a;
}
