Introduction

Why use nix-unit?

• Simple structure compatible with lib.debug.runTests

• Allows individual test attributes to fail individually.

Rather than evaluating the entire test suite in one go, serialise & compare nix-unit uses the Nix evaluator C++ API. Meaning that we can catch test failures individually, even if the failure is caused by an evaluation error.

• Fast.

No additional processing and coordination overhead caused by the external process approach.
