Implemented a complete BDD-style testing framework for ChrysaLisp with extensive features, examples, and documentation. Core Framework (lib/test/test.inc): - BDD-style test organization with describe/it blocks - Skip functionality (xdescribe/xit) - 17 comprehensive assertions (equality, boolean, nil, comparison, collections, error handling) - Colored terminal output with symbols (✓/✗/○) - Detailed failure reporting - Configurable filtering and verbosity - Test state management using Fmap Test Runner (cmd/test-runner.lisp): - Automatic test file discovery - Pattern-based filtering (-f flag) - Verbose mode (-v flag) - Color control (-n flag) - Custom file patterns (-p flag) - List tests mode (-l flag) - Exit codes for CI/CD integration (0=pass, 1=fail) Examples (examples/test/): - basic_test.lisp: Fundamental patterns and assertions - collections_test.lisp: Sequences and collection operations - advanced_test.lisp: Error handling, recursion, edge cases - four_horsemen_test.lisp: Deep dive into map/filter/reduce/some - smoke_test.lisp: Quick sanity check - ~80-90 total tests demonstrating all features Documentation: - docs/test_framework.md: Comprehensive guide with API reference - docs/test_framework_quick_reference.md: Quick reference cheat sheet - examples/test/README.md: Example file guide and learning path - TEST_FRAMEWORK_SUMMARY.md: Implementation summary Features: - Philosophy-aligned with ChrysaLisp (iteration, Four Horsemen, O(1)) - BDD best practices (readable, organized, focused) - Excellent developer experience (fast, clear, flexible) - Production-ready with ~1,810 lines of code and documentation Usage: ./run_tui.sh -n 1 cmd/test-runner.lisp [options] [files...]

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Variable names style guide problems.
Applied ChrysaLisp naming conventions per docs/ai_digest/coding_style.md: - Functions/macros: use hyphens (already correct) - Local variables: use underscores (was using hyphens) - Globals: use underscores with asterisks (was using hyphens) - Object properties: use underscores (was using hyphens) Changes: - *test-context* → *test_context* (global variable) - opt-filter → opt_filter (local variables in test-runner.lisp) - opt-verbose → opt_verbose - opt-no-color → opt_no_color - opt-pattern → opt_pattern - opt-list → opt_list - test-files → test_files - All map property keys: 'current-suite → 'current_suite, etc. - Function parameters: suite-name → suite_name, test-name → test_name - Test example variables: empty-list → empty_list, max-val → max_val, etc. All naming now follows ChrysaLisp conventions: - Hyphens (-) for function/macro names - Underscores (_) for variables, parameters, properties
