Verify function issues no warnings

Syntax

verifyWarningFree(testCase,actual)
verifyWarningFree(testCase,actual,diagnostic)
[output1,...,outputN] = verifyWarningFree(___)

Description

verifyWarningFree(testCase,actual) verifies that actual is a function handle that issues no warnings.

example

verifyWarningFree(testCase,actual,diagnostic) also associates the diagnostic information in diagnostic with the qualification.

example

[output1,...,outputN] = verifyWarningFree(___) also returns any outputs produced when the function handle is invoked. You can use any of the input argument combinations in the previous syntaxes.

Input Arguments

Test case, specified as a matlab.unittest.qualifications.Verifiable object. Because the matlab.unittest.TestCase class subclasses matlab.unittest.qualifications.Verifiable and inherits its methods, testCase is typically a matlab.unittest.TestCase object.

Value to test, specified as a value of any data type. Although you can provide a value of any data type, the test fails if actual is not a function handle.

Example: @() myFunction(1,2)

Example: @() mkdir("myFolder")

Diagnostic information to display when the qualification passes or fails, specified as a string array, character array, function handle, or array of matlab.automation.diagnostics.Diagnostic objects.

Depending on the test runner configuration, the testing framework can display diagnostics when the qualification passes or fails. By default, the framework displays diagnostics only when the qualification fails. You can override the default behavior by customizing the test runner. For example, use a DiagnosticsOutputPlugin instance to display both failing and passing event diagnostics.

Example: "My Custom Diagnostic"

Example: @dir

Test if the actual value is a function handle that issues no warnings.

Create a test case for interactive testing.

testCase = matlab.unittest.TestCase.forInteractiveUse;

Verify that a call to true does not result in any warnings.

verifyWarningFree(testCase,@true)

Verification passed.

Repeat the test with the false function. Examine the output of the function.

f = verifyWarningFree(testCase,@false)

Verification passed.

f =

  logical

   0

Verify that a call to size with an empty array does not result in any warnings.

verifyWarningFree(testCase,@() size([]))

Verification passed.

Verify that the test fails if the actual value is not a function handle.

verifyWarningFree(testCase,5,"Value must be a function handle.")

Verification failed.

Tips

  • verifyWarningFree is a convenience method. For example, verifyWarningFree(testCase,actual) is functionally equivalent to the following code.

    import matlab.unittest.constraints.IssuesNoWarnings
testCase.verifyThat(actual,IssuesNoWarnings)

    More functionality is available when using the IssuesNoWarnings constraint directly via verifyThat.

  • Use verification qualifications to produce and record failures without throwing an exception. Because verifications do not throw exceptions, all test content runs to completion even when verification failures occur. Typically, verifications are the primary qualification for a unit test because they typically do not require an early exit from the test. Use other qualification types to test for violation of preconditions or incorrect test setup:

    • Use assumption qualifications to ensure that the test environment meets preconditions that otherwise do not result in a test failure. Assumption failures result in filtered tests, and the testing framework marks the tests as Incomplete. For more information, see matlab.unittest.qualifications.Assumable.

    • Use assertion qualifications when the failure condition invalidates the remainder of the current test content but does not prevent proper execution of subsequent tests. A failure at the assertion point renders the current test as Failed and Incomplete. For more information, see matlab.unittest.qualifications.Assertable.

    • Use fatal assertion qualifications to abort the test session upon failure. These qualifications are useful when the failure is so fundamental that continuing testing does not make sense. Fatal assertion qualifications are also useful when fixture teardown does not restore the environment state correctly, and aborting testing and starting a fresh session is preferable. For more information, see matlab.unittest.qualifications.FatalAssertable.
