Class CheckContext

source code

Provides a context for configure tests. Defines how a test writes to the screen and log file.

A typical test is just a callable with an instance of CheckContext as first argument:

def CheckCustom(context, ...) context.Message('Checking my weird test ... ') ret = myWeirdTestFunction(...) context.Result(ret)

Often, myWeirdTestFunction will be one of context.TryCompile/context.TryLink/context.TryRun. The results of those are cached, for they are only rebuild, if the dependencies have changed.
