The $ASSERTS metacommand enables debug tests with the _ASSERT macro.


Syntax

$ASSERTS
$ASSERTS:CONSOLE


Description

  • This metacommand does not require a comment ' or REM before it. There is no space between the metacommand name, the colon and the CONSOLE parameter.
  • If this metacommand is used in a program and any of the set _ASSERT checkpoints will fail, then the program will stop with an _ASSERT failed error.
  • Detailed error messages passed to the _ASSERT statement will be displayed in the console window, but only if $ASSERTS:CONSOLE is used.
Note
This metacommand is the main switch to enable debug tests during development. Later just remove this metacommand to compile the program without debugging code, all the _ASSERT statements may remain in the code for later debugging sessions, they are simply ignored without this metacommand.

Examples

Example
Adding test checks for parameter inputs in a function.
$ASSERTS:CONSOLE

DO
    a = INT(RND * 10)
    b$ = myFunc$(a)
    PRINT a, , b$
    _LIMIT 3
LOOP UNTIL _KEYHIT
END

FUNCTION myFunc$ (value AS SINGLE)
    _ASSERT value > 0, "Value cannot be zero"
    _ASSERT value <= 10, "Value cannot exceed 10"

    IF value > 1 THEN plural$ = "s"
    myFunc$ = STRING$(value, "*") + STR$(value) + " star" + plural$ + " :-)"
END FUNCTION
