Hi,
I’m having some trouble using structs inside @testsets:
julia> @testset "teststruct" begin
struct a end
a(b) = a()
end
teststruct: Error During Test at none:1
Got exception outside of a @test
syntax: Slot objects should not occur in an AST

ERROR: Some tests did not pass: 0 passed, 0 failed, 1 errored, 0 broken.
Am I doing something wrong?
Inner constructors seem to work:
julia> @testset "teststruct" begin
struct a
a(b) = new()
end
end
Test Summary: |
teststruct | No tests
Test.DefaultTestSet("teststruct", Any[], 0, false)
It also works if I put the code at the top of a file which is included from runtests.jl, even if the file is included inside a @testset in runtests.jl which in many cases is far from ideal.
I just discovered that it works with inner constructors so if there are any major drawbacks with that approach I guess I’ve yet to discover them
