Tests are CC0/public domain because there's no reason for them not to
be. Examples are also CC0/public domain, but this may be a little bit
weird because they are largely straightforward ports of examples from
nats.c which carry the Apache license. However, I personally wrote
them against the zig bindings and I doubt anyone will end up in a
court of law due to their software containing uselessly trivial
example code.
I created a utility class to spawn a NATS server. This assumes it is
installed and in PATH, which should be easy enough to accomplish for a
CI environment. The current approach will not work with parallel
tests, but that's not a practical reality, so this route should be
fine for the time being. It might be nice to spawn a default server at
the beginning of testing and tear it down at the end, to save waiting
for the startup/shutdown time in many individual tests. This makes me
wonder: if I initialize a server in the beginning of the `test` block
in main that imports the other modules, does that scope stay live
while the "child" tests are running? My default guess would be
probably not, but that would be very convenient, so I might try it out
and see.
These are mostly just tests to make sure the wrappers function as
written, rather than testing for any specific output. This commit
demonstrates the simple value of actually referencing the various
wrapper functions, as a variety of really basic compilation errors
were caught and addressed.
This approach seems nice, and as a bonus it makes it easier to run the
tests through the module interface rather than by importing the
sources directly, which I think is a good dog food approach.
