tap-es


Tap-ExtendScript is a utiliy wrapper arround estktap. It adds a test bundler, generator and reporter that takes a test (or a set of tests) and pipes them to multiple app targets/versions and outputs a single report.

> When given an output file the report will be written in tap-markdown syntax.

install

npm install @extendscript/tap-es --save-dev

create a test

Add a single line to the end of your test file:

$.write( result );

Please read the estktap guide for more information.

adding and generating tests

With the add function we can generate a test for each script to each target, we can run the add function multiple times before evoking the run command.

The add function takes three arguments:

1. __scripts__ String, Array: Path to ExtendScript test files
2. __target__ String, Array: Adobe app targets and version
3. __comparator__ Number, String, Boolean or Function [Optional, defaults to true]

Example using multiple files and multiple targets:

// Generates 4 tests
tapes.add(['test1.jsx','test2.jsx'], [indesign-13,photoshop-18])

glob patterns are supported:

tapes.add('test/*.indd.jsx', [indesign-12,indesign-13] )

Report Options

We add the duration of the test to the report:

tapes.reportDuration(true)

and/or add the file name of the test with:

tapes.reportScriptName(true)

Running the tests

After having added the tests, we can use the run() command to run the tests and pipe the output to file (Markdown) and console:

tapes.run( 'result.md' )

> The run command resets tap-es

Run the test file with node run tests.js or tape run tests.js
