== Highlights [small]#💖#
News you don't want to miss.
=== Power Assertions
Pkl's test output and error output has been improved with power assertions (https://github.com/apple/pkl/pull/1384[#1384])!
Pkl has two places that are effectively assertions.
These are:
* Type constraint expressions
* Test facts
Currently, when these assertions fail, the error message prints the assertion's source section.
However, this information can sometimes be lacking.
It tells you what the mechanics of the assertion is, but doesn't tell you _why_ the assertion is failing.
For example, here is the current error output of a failing typecheck.
[source,text]
----
Pkl Error
Type constraint `name.endsWith(lastName)` violated.
Value: new Person { name = "Bub Johnson" }
7 | passenger: Person(name.endsWith(lastName)) = new { name = "Bub Johnson" }
----
Just from this error message, we don't know what the last name is supposed to be.
What is `name` supposed to end with?
We just know it's some property called `lastName` but, we don't know what it _is_.
In Pkl 0.31, the error output becomes:
[source,text]
----
Pkl Error
Type constraint `name.endsWith(lastName)` violated.
Value: new Person { name = "Bub Johnson" }
name.endsWith(lastName)
│ │ │
│ false "Smith"
"Bub Johnson"
7 | passenger: Person(name.endsWith(lastName)) = new { name = "Bub Johnson" }
----
Now, we know what the expecation actually is.
This type of diagram is also added to test facts.
When tests fail, Pkl emits a diagram of the expression, and the values produced.
For example, given the following test:
.math.pkl
[source,pkl]
----
amends "pkl:test"
facts {
local function add(a: Int, b: Int) = a * b
local function divide(a: Int, b: Int) = a % b
["math"] {
add(3, 4) == 7
divide(8, 2) == 4
}
}
----
The error output now includes a power assertion diagram, which helps explain why the test failed.
[source,text]
----
module math
facts
✘ math
add(3, 4) == 7 (math.pkl:9)
│ │
12 false
divide(8, 2) == 4 (math.pkl:10)
│ │
0 false
0.0% tests pass [1/1 failed], 0.0% asserts pass [2/2 failed]
