<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here's my code:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>-module(eunit_example).<BR>-include_lib("eunit/include/eunit.hrl").</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>exit_test() -><BR>
exit(self(),die).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the shell, I run:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1>
c(eunit_example).<BR>{ok,eunit_example}<BR>2> eunit_example:test().<BR>
Test successful.<BR>ok</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is that really the intention?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Likewise, this test passes:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>spawn_test() -><BR>
spawn_link(erlang,exit,[dying]),<BR>
timer:sleep(1).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(The sleep is there to allow time for the child
process to die, and the exit signal to be propagated).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Presumably the process running the test is trapping
exits--but is that really appropriate? As in this last example, crashes in child
processes won't cause the test to fail.</FONT></DIV>
