/**
@file
@brief Used to capture scope leakage of macro variables
@details
A common 'difficult to detect' bug in macros is where a nested macro
over-writes variables in a higher level macro.
This assertion takes a snapshot of the macro variables before and after
a macro invocation. Differences are captured in the `&outds` table. This
makes it easy to detect whether any macro variables were modified or
changed.
If you would like this feature, feel free to contribute / raise an issue /
engage the SASjs team directly.
Example usage:
%mp_assertscope(SNAPSHOT)
%let oops=I did it again;
%mp_assertscope(COMPARE,
desc=Checking macro variables against previous snapshot
)
This macro is designed to work alongside `sasjs test` - for more information
about this facility, visit [cli.sasjs.io/test](https://cli.sasjs.io/test).
@param [in] action (SNAPSHOT) The action to take. Valid values:
@li SNAPSHOT - take a copy of the current macro variables
@li COMPARE - compare the current macro variables against previous values
@param [in] scope= (GLOBAL) The scope of the variables to be checked. This
corresponds to the values in the SCOPE column in `sashelp.vmacro`.
@param [in] desc= (Testing scope leakage) The user provided test description
@param [in,out] scopeds= (work.mp_assertscope) The dataset to contain the
scope snapshot
@param [out] outds= (work.test_results) The output dataset to contain the
results. If it does not exist, it will be created, with the following format:
|TEST_DESCRIPTION:$256|TEST_RESULT:$4|TEST_COMMENTS:$256|
|---|---|---|
|User Provided description|PASS|No out of scope variables created or modified|
