Speclj is a TDD/BDD testing framework for Clojure and ClojureScript that provides a rich DSL for writing specifications. It features a hierarchical component system for organizing tests, cross-platform support via reader conditionals, multiple runners (standard and vigilant), various reporters, stubbing/mocking capabilities, and tag-based test filtering. The architecture is modular with clear separation between test definition (speclj.core), platform abstraction (speclj.platform), test execution (speclj.running), and reporting (speclj.reporting).

The LLM identified 5 files worth highlighting for reuse:

Provides cross-platform abstractions for Clojure, ClojureScript, ClojureCLR, and Babashka. Handles platform-specific differences in file I/O, exception handling, time formatting, and dynamic function invocation. Demonstrates skill in managing subtle platform variations while maintaining a clean, unified API.

file: src/cljc/speclj/platform.cljc ↗ | tags: #platform-abstraction #cross-platform

A self-contained command-line argument parser supporting parameters, options, switches, and multi-values. Features automatic help text generation with proper formatting and wrapping, error handling for missing/unexpected arguments, and flexible option parsing. Shows expertise in CLI design with attention to usability details like help text alignment and line wrapping.

file: src/cljc/speclj/args.cljc ↗ | tags: #cli-argument-parser #command-line-interface

Implements the core component system for tests using Clojure protocols and types. Defines Descriptions (test suites), Characteristics (individual tests), hooks (before/after/around), and bindings (with/with-all). Demonstrates sophisticated use of Clojure's type system and protocols to create an extensible, hierarchical test structure.

file: src/cljc/speclj/components.cljc ↗ | tags: #component-system #test-structure

A complete stubbing/mocking framework that records invocations, supports configurable return values and implementations, and provides rich argument matching (including special :* matcher and fn? predicates). Features verification macros like should-have-invoked with detailed failure messages. Shows skill in designing a usable mocking library with clear semantics.

file: src/cljc/speclj/stub.cljc ↗ | tags: #stubbing-mocking #test-doubles

Implements line-number based test filtering that resolves file:line targets to specific tests by walking the component tree and finding the best matching characteristic. Handles edge cases like Windows paths, missing files, and line numbers above/below test definitions. Demonstrates strong problem-solving for a specific testing workflow need.

file: src/cljc/speclj/line_filter.cljc ↗ | tags: #line-filtering #test-selection
