nowtest

Minimalistic testing framework

based on testnow

``shell
npm install nowtest
`

This framework doesn't have any CLI, only programmatic API.
It's designed to be cross-platform and to be able to be
integrated with any build / CICD / deployment tools.

Setting up / describing tests

`js
const nowtest = require("nowtest");

const test = nowtest()

function mySetImmediate(cb: () => void) {
return setTimeout(cb, 0);
}

test.group("mySetImmediate", () => {
test("Executes callback", (end: test.Handler) =>
mySetImmediate(() => end()));

test("May be cancelled with clearTimeout", (end: test.Handler) => {
let timeoutId = mySetImmediate(
() => end(new Error(Callback executed))
);
clearTimeout(timeoutId);
setTimeout(() => end(), 100);
});
});
`

Executing tests

`js
const nowtest = require("nowtest");

const test = nowtest()

require("./mySetImmediate");
const util = require("util");

test.run().then(result => {
console.log(util.inspect(result, true, 10, true));
});
`

Several simple reporters are now built in nowtest. Reporter is simply a function that
takes test results and does something with them. Usually reporters output the results somewhere.
Right now there are 4 simple reporter types: plain - using the most basic and cross-platform
console.log functionality, console and terminal - are similar to plain for now,
dom - inserts a html-formatted report as innerHTML into a given dom-node. The reporter
export provided by nowtest contains not reporters themselves, but reporter creators,
functions that have optional reporter-options object as a parameter and return a reporter.
We could rewrite the above example using a simple built-in reporter which just logs results
to the console:

`js
const nowtest = require("nowtest");
const {reporter} = nowtest;

require("./mySetImmediate");

test.run().then(result => {
reporter.plain({})(result);
});
