async_multi.js

// This depends on tinytest, so it's a little weird to put it in
// test-helpers, but it'll do for now.

// Provides the testAsyncMulti helper, which creates an async test
// (using Tinytest.addAsync) that tracks parallel and sequential
// asynchronous calls.  Specifically, the two features it provides
// are:
// 1) Executing an array of functions sequentially when those functions
//    contain async calls.
// 2) Keeping track of when callbacks are outstanding, via "expect".
//
// To use, pass an array of functions that take arguments (test, expect).
// (There is no onComplete callback; completion is determined automatically.)
// Expect takes a callback closure and wraps it, returning a new callback closure,
// and making a note that there is a callback oustanding.  Pass this returned closure
// to async functions as the callback, and the machinery in the wrapper will
// record the fact that the callback has been called.
//
// A second form of expect takes data arguments to test for.
// Essentially, expect("foo", "bar") is equivalent to:
// expect(function(arg1, arg2) { test.equal([arg1, arg2], ["foo", "bar"]); }).
//
// You cannot "nest" expect or call it from a callback!  Even if you have a chain
// of callbacks, you need to call expect at the "top level" (synchronously)
// but the callback you wrap has to be the last/innermost one.  This sometimes
// leads to some code contortions and should probably be fixed.

// Example: (at top level of test file)
//
// testAsyncMulti("test name", [
//   function(test, expect) {
//     ... tests here
//     Meteor.defer(expect(function() {
//       ... tests here
//     }));
//
//     call_something_async('foo', 'bar', expect('baz')); // implicit callback
//
//   },
//   function(test, expect) {
//     ... more tests
//   }
// ]);
