[erlang-questions] Structuring an Eunit Suite

[Ben Hood]

Hi,

I'm currently using Eunit in a very agricultural fashion and would
like to use more of the Eunit infrastructure to make the tests less
verbose.

I have a suite of tests that each connect to a message server and
execute a number of commands.

I want to be able to parameterize where the connection supplied from,
so that I can re-use the tests on different transports.

What I've got now is a suite that looks like this:

foo_test() ->
     test_util:foo_test(new_connection()).
......

new_connection() ->
     %% returns a specific connection to the server

......

and all of the real tests are in the test_util module, e.g:

foo_test(Connection) ->
     %% assert something

Ideally I would like eunit to do something like

"foreach _test function in the test_util module, create a new
connection and pass it as a function argument"

Is this possible?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Ben
