ExUnit and the "One assertion per test" pattern

[tfwright]

@slouchpie

For comparison, imagine testing a chess match where you have to specify exactly where each piece is, except each piece is actually a short history of other chess matches and all their moves.

I have found it almost impossible to have one assertion per test.

Will absolutely grant that this a disadvantage, maybe the primary disadvantage of 1APT. I think this is what @wojtekmach was referring to by “high level”, “integration” tests. Even with slightly less complicated state things can get hairy very quickly. I think I could happily agree to applying a modified standard in those cases.
