# Snapshot Tests
The `.fine` files in this directory and its descendants are processed
by `build.rs` into a series of snapshot-tests. The various test
assertions are specified by `@` directives in comments in the file.
e.g., a test might look like this:
```fine
// @concrete:
// | File
// | ExpressionStatement
// | BinaryExpression
// | BinaryExpression
// | LiteralExpression
// | Number:'"1"'
// | Star:'"*"'
// | LiteralExpression
// | Number:'"2"'
// | Plus:'"+"'
// | BinaryExpression
// | UnaryExpression
// | Minus:'"-"'
// | LiteralExpression
// | Number:'"3"'
// | Star:'"*"'
// | LiteralExpression
// | Number:'"4"'
// | Semicolon:'";"'
//
1 * 2 + -3 * 4;
// @type: 532 f64
```
## Assertions
The various assertions are as follows:
- The `// @ignore` directive marks the test as ignored.
- The `// @concrete:` assertion says that the following lines
(prefixed with `// | `, as above) describe the concrete syntax tree
of the file after parsing.
e.g.:
```fine
// @concrete:
// | File
// | ExpressionStatement
// | LiteralExpression
// | String:'"\"Hello world\""'
// | Semicolon:'";"'
//
"Hello world";
```
- The `// @type:` assertion says that the type of the tree at the
given point will match the given type. `@type` assertions usually go
after the contents of the file to make the probe points more stable
in the face of new assertions and whatnot.
e.g.:
```fine
"Hello world!"
// @type: 2 string
```
- The `// @type-error:` assertion says that the type of the tree at
the given point should be an error, and that the error message
provided should be among the generated errors. (Like `@type`, these
usually go after the code, for stability.)
e.g.:
```fine
- "twenty five";
// @type-error: 0 cannot apply unary operator '-' to value of type string
```
