# Objective
- Follow-up of #13184 :)
- We use `ui_test` to test compiler errors for our custom macros.
- There are four crates related to compile fail tests
- `bevy_ecs_compile_fail_tests`, `bevy_macros_compile_fail_tests`, and
`bevy_reflect_compile_fail_tests`, which actually test the macros.
-
[`bevy_compile_test_utils`](64c1c65783/crates/bevy_compile_test_utils),
which provides helpers and common patterns for these tests.
- All of these crates reside within the `crates` directory.
- This can be confusing, especially for newcomers. All of the other
folders in `crates` are actual published libraries, except for these 4.
## Solution
- Move all compile fail tests to a `compile_fail` folder under their
corresponding crate.
- E.g. `crates/bevy_ecs_compile_fail_tests` would be moved to
`crates/bevy_ecs/compile_fail`.
- Move `bevy_compile_test_utils` to `tools/compile_fail_utils`.
There are a few benefits to this approach:
1. An internal testing detail is less intrusive (and confusing) for
those who just want to browse the public Bevy interface.
2. Follows a pre-existing approach of organizing related crates inside a
larger crate's folder.
- See `bevy_gizmos/macros` for an example.
4. Makes consistent the terms `compile_test`, `compile_fail`, and
`compile_fail_test` in code. It's all just `compile_fail` now, because
we are specifically testing the error messages on compiler failures.
- To be clear it can still be referred to by these terms in comments and
speech, just the names of the crates and the CI command are now
consistent.
## Testing
Run the compile fail CI command:
```shell
cargo run -p ci -- compile-fail
```
If it still passes, then my refactor was successful.

# Compile fail tests for bevy_ecs
|
|
|
|
This crate is separate from `bevy_ecs` and not part of the Bevy workspace in order to not fail `crater` tests for Bevy. The tests assert on the exact compiler errors and can easily fail for new Rust versions due to updated compiler errors (e.g. changes in spans).
|
|
|
|
The `CI` workflow executes these tests on the stable rust toolchain (see [tools/ci](../../../tools/ci/src/main.rs)).

For information on writing tests see [compile_fail_utils/README.md](../../../tools/compile_fail_utils/README.md).
