Call Argument

A CallArgument extends Parameter by also has some of the same properties as CodeExecutable allowing an expression to be used to set the value of the parameter.

This type is marked as experimental and is likely to change.

Testing

During property-based (a.k.a generative) testing, the properties of the CallArgument type are generated using the following strategies.

PropertyComplexityDescriptionStrategy
nameMin+Generate a fixed name.String::from("name")
Low+Generate a random string of up to 10 alphanumeric characters (and at most one underscore to avoida clash with Markdown emphasis).Regex [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9]{0,9}
High+Generate a random string of up to 100 characters (excluding control characters).Regex [^\p{C}]{1,100}
MaxGenerate an arbitrary string.String::arbitrary()
codeMin+Generate a simple fixed string of code.Cord::from("code")
Low+Generate a random string of up to 10 alphanumeric characters.r"[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,10}".prop_map(Cord::from)
High+Generate a random string of up to 100 characters (excluding control characters).r"[^\p{C}]{1,100}".prop_map(Cord::from)
MaxGenerate an arbitrary string.String::arbitrary().prop_map(Cord::from)
