Testcasing Makefile

## Filename:   Makefile
## Author:     Daniel Guenther
## Date:       2018-01-31
## Purpose:    To quickly create and run test cases for a small program
###############################################

program=gcl -f lab3.cl
testdir=Tests

# runs the newest test
runNewTest: ${testdir} ${progname}
	${program} < ${testdir}/`ls -t ${testdir} | head -1`

# runs program with each test case found in testing directory
runTests: ${testdir} ${progname}
	echo; for testfile in `ls ${testdir}/`; do ${program} < ${testdir}/$$testfile; echo; done

# quickly create a new one-line test case (prompts user for test contents, generates new filename)
newTest: ${testdir}
	i=0;while [ -f ${testdir}/test$$i ]; do i=$$(($$i+1)); done; read input && echo $$input > ${testdir}/test$$i

${testdir}:
	mkdir -p ${testdir}

If you want to make a new lisp testing file, just type in:

$ make newTest
((1 2 3 4) (2 3 4 5) (9 8 7 6)) 2

which will create a file which can be used as input to the lisp program (a list of lists then a number, which is what's needed for lab3). You can then immediately run this new test with make runNewTest.

By default it will create a file called Tests/test0 (or Tests/test1 or Tests/test2 or Tests/testN for a number N that hasn't already been taken) which may be used as an input file for lab3.cl (e.g. gcl -f lab3.cl < Tests/test0, or run all tests with make runTests)
