// C is the Convey context which you can optionally obtain in your action
// by calling Convey like:
//
// Convey(..., func(c C) {
// ...
// })
//
// See the documentation on Convey for more details.
//
// All methods in this context behave identically to the global functions of the
// same name in this package.
type C interface {
Convey(items ...any)
SkipConvey(items ...any)

// Convey is the method intended for use when declaring the scopes of
// a specification. Each scope has a description and a func() which may contain
// other calls to Convey(), Reset() or Should-style assertions. Convey calls can
// be nested as far as you see fit.
//
// IMPORTANT NOTE: The top-level Convey() within a Test method
// must conform to the following signature:
//
// Convey(description string, t *testing.T, action func())
//
// All other calls should look like this (no need to pass in *testing.T):
//
// Convey(description string, action func())
//
// Don't worry, goconvey will panic if you get it wrong so you can fix it.
//
// Additionally, you may explicitly obtain access to the Convey context by doing:
//
// Convey(description string, action func(c C))
//
// You may need to do this if you want to pass the context through to a
// goroutine, or to close over the context in a handler to a library which
// calls your handler in a goroutine (httptest comes to mind).
//
// All Convey()-blocks also accept an optional parameter of FailureMode which sets
// how goconvey should treat failures for So()-assertions in the block and
// nested blocks. See the constants in this file for the available options.
//
// By default it will inherit from its parent block and the top-level blocks
// default to the FailureHalts setting.
//
// This parameter is inserted before the block itself:
//
// Convey(description string, t *testing.T, mode FailureMode, action func())
// Convey(description string, mode FailureMode, action func())
//
// See the examples package for, well, examples.

// (which means that child scopes defined within this scope are not run either).
// The reporter will be notified that this step was skipped.
func SkipConvey(items ...any) {

// FocusConvey is has the inverse effect of SkipConvey. If the top-level
// Convey is changed to `FocusConvey`, only nested scopes that are defined
// with FocusConvey will be run. The rest will be ignored completely. This
// is handy when debugging a large suite that runs a misbehaving function
// repeatedly as you can disable all but one of that function
// without swaths of `SkipConvey` calls, just a targeted chain of calls
// to FocusConvey.

// in the same scope. See the examples package for a simple use case.

// Assertion is an alias for a function with a signature that the convey.So()

// passes and a well-formed failure message if not.

// The majority of exported names in the assertions package begin with the word
// 'Should' and describe how the first argument (actual) should compare with any
// of the final (expected) arguments. How many final arguments are accepted
// depends on the particular assertion that is passed in as the assert argument.
// See the examples package for use cases and the assertions package for
// documentation on specific assertion methods. A failing assertion will
// cause t.Fail() to be invoked--you should never call this method (or other
// failure-inducing methods) in your test code. Leave that to GoConvey.
