Writing Miri tests — miri test runner, test attributes, and assertion functions.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Testing in Miri

Miri includes a built-in test runner and assertion library. This skill teaches how to write tests, run them, and understand test attributes.

## Writing and Running Tests

### Basic Test

Mark a function with `@test` to make it a test case:

```miri
use system.testing.{assert_eq}

@test fn simple_add()
    assert_eq(2 + 2, 4)
```

Run tests with the `miri test` command:

```bash
miri test --dir <directory>
```

The runner discovers all `.mi` files, finds functions marked with `@test`, and executes them.

### Assertion Functions

Miri provides four assertion functions (all require an import):

```miri
use system.testing.{assert, assert_eq, assert_ne, assert_panics}

@test fn test_assert()
    assert(true)

@test fn test_equals()
    assert_eq(5, 5)

@test fn test_not_equals()
    assert_ne(3, 4)

@test fn test_panic()
    assert_panics(fn(): panic("expected error"))
```

All assertions accept an optional message argument.

### Test Runner Options

```bash
miri test --dir <DIR>           # Run tests in directory
miri test --filter <PATTERN>    # Run tests matching pattern
miri test --format pretty|json  # Output format
miri test -v                    # Verbose

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add miri-lang/miri/miri-testing@sha256:af767e5b3c158866

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.7d62122, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
