Attribute Macro tokio_macros::test

#[test]

Marks async function to be executed by runtime, suitable to test environment. This macro helps set up a Runtime without requiring the user to use Runtime or Builder directly.

Note: This macro is designed to be simplistic and targets applications that do not require a complex setup. If the provided functionality is not sufficient, you may be interested in using Builder, which provides a more powerful interface.

Multi-threaded runtime

To use the multi-threaded runtime, the macro can be configured using

#[tokio::test(flavor = "multi_thread", worker_threads = 1)]
async fn my_test() {
    assert!(true);
}

The worker_threads option configures the number of worker threads, and defaults to the number of cpus on the system. This is the default flavor.

Note: The multi-threaded runtime requires the rt-multi-thread feature flag.

Current thread runtime

The default test runtime is single-threaded. Each test gets a separate current-thread runtime.

#[tokio::test]
async fn my_test() {
    assert!(true);
}

Usage

Using the multi-thread runtime

#[tokio::test(flavor = "multi_thread")]
async fn my_test() {
    assert!(true);
}

Equivalent code not using #[tokio::test]

#[test]
fn my_test() {
    tokio::runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
        .enable_all()
        .build()
        .unwrap()
        .block_on(async {
            assert!(true);
        })
}

Using current thread runtime

#[tokio::test]
async fn my_test() {
    assert!(true);
}

Equivalent code not using #[tokio::test]

#[test]
fn my_test() {
    tokio::runtime::Builder::new_current_thread()
        .enable_all()
        .build()
        .unwrap()
        .block_on(async {
            assert!(true);
        })
}

Set number of worker threads

#[tokio::test(flavor ="multi_thread", worker_threads = 2)]
async fn my_test() {
    assert!(true);
}

Equivalent code not using #[tokio::test]

#[test]
fn my_test() {
    tokio::runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
        .worker_threads(2)
        .enable_all()
        .build()
        .unwrap()
        .block_on(async {
            assert!(true);
        })
}

Configure the runtime to start with time paused

#[tokio::test(start_paused = true)]
async fn my_test() {
    assert!(true);
}

Equivalent code not using #[tokio::test]

#[test]
fn my_test() {
    tokio::runtime::Builder::new_current_thread()
        .enable_all()
        .start_paused(true)
        .build()
        .unwrap()
        .block_on(async {
            assert!(true);
        })
}

Note that start_paused requires the test-util feature to be enabled.

Rename package

use tokio as tokio1;

#[tokio1::test(crate = "tokio1")]
async fn my_test() {
    println!("Hello world");
}
