pub struct TestRng { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Proptest’s random number generator.

Implementations

Create a new RNG with the given algorithm and seed.

Any RNG created with the same algorithm-seed pair will produce the same sequence of values on all systems and all supporting versions of proptest.

Panics

Panics if seed is not an appropriate length for algorithm.

Dumps the bytes obtained from the RNG so far (only works if the RNG is set to Recorder).

Panics

Panics if this RNG does not capture generated data.

Returns a TestRng with a particular hard-coded seed.

The seed value will always be the same for a particular version of Proptest and algorithm, but may change across releases.

This is useful for testing things like strategy implementations without risking getting “unlucky” RNGs which deviate from average behaviour enough to cause spurious failures. For example, a strategy for bool which is supposed to produce true 50% of the time might have a test which checks that the distribution is “close enough” to 50%. If every test run starts with a different RNG, occasionally there will be spurious test failures when the RNG happens to produce a very skewed distribution. Using this or TestRunner::deterministic() avoids such issues.

Return a bool with a probability p of being true. Read more

Return a bool with a probability of numerator/denominator of being true. I.e. gen_ratio(2, 3) has chance of 2 in 3, or about 67%, of returning true. If numerator == denominator, then the returned value is guaranteed to be true. If numerator == 0, then the returned value is guaranteed to be false. Read more
