iOS Kiwi parameterized test like NUnit

Is there a way to parameterize test with Kiwi ?

If you are familiar with NUnit, it has a feature of running a test with parameters ( see http://www.nunit.org/index.php?p=testCase&r=2.5 ).

There's one way that works for me.

Basically,

  1. Define your own block in test file that gets your parameter(s)

    typedef void(^TestCount)(INT count);

  2. Create the block with corresponding tests

    TestCount testCount = ^(INT count){
   [[someObject shouldNot] beNil];
   [[someObject should] have:count] rows];
};

  3. Execute parametrized block wherever you need it, i usually do this within it's block

    context(@"when adding object", ^{

    beforeAll(^{
        [someObject addObject:anotherObject];
    });


    it(@"it should have 1 object", ^{
        testCount(1);
    });
});

I hope this helps

I ended up creating a macro that generates the if(..., ^{ });
This will show the correct error message if the test failed, but you can not debug :( .

Here is an example of how it looks like:

let(_userModel, ^id{
    return [[MyUserModel alloc] init];
});

#define email_should_be_valid(email) \
    it(@ #email " should be valid", ^{\
        [_userModel setEmail:email];\
        [[theValue([_userModel validate:nil]) should] beTrue];\
    });

email_should_be_valid(@"[email protected]")
email_should_be_valid(@"[email protected]")
email_should_be_valid(@"[email protected]")

#undef email_should_be_valid

I will not mark this answer as correct, hope somebody comes with a better solution for this.
