A simple TypeScript test runner inspired by Pytest.
npm install @eeue56/bachA very simple TypeScript test runner inspired by Pytest.
Looks in tsconfig.include for files ending with test. Look in those files for functions starting with test, and run them. Async functions are run with await. Use the assert module for writing assertions. The return result is ignored.
Part of the Hiraeth collection.
Requires ts-node to be installed.
``
npm install --save-dev @eeue56/bach
Make sure your tsconfig has include set up correctly. Then you can run bach via npx @eeue56/bach from the project root.
See bach_test.ts for example usage.
You can also specify specific files or functions to run via flags:
`
--function [string...]: Run a specific function
--file [string...]: Run a specific file
--clean-exit: Don't use process.exit even if tests fail
--only-fails : Only show the tests that fail
--in-chunks number: Run tests in chunks of N files (suitable for lower memory impact)
--chunk-start number: Start running chunk at N
-u, --update-snapshots : Update the snapshots and exit
-h, --help : Displays help message
`
Snapshots can be created by having a function called snapshot{x} exported inside the test files. On first run, it will create the snapshot files in __snapshots__. On subsequent runs, the contents within the snapshot files will be compared with the output from the function. For example:
`typescript``
export async function snapshotNumber() {
return 9001;
}
Bach means "small" or "little" in Welsh. It is also used as an affectionate term, much like "love" or "dear" in English. I named it bach, because I wanted the smallest possible test runner that still gave useful output.
