Asynchronous BDD & continuous integration for node.js
npm install vows-without-nsp-warningsThis is a straightforward fork of the main "vows" repository,
with the "glob" dependency updated to a version without
known NSP vulnerabilities. You can install it from npm
with
npm install vows-without-nsp-warnings
> Asynchronous BDD & continuous integration for node.js
####
introduction
------------
There are two reasons why we might want asynchronous testing. The first, and obvious reason is that node.js is asynchronous, and therefore our tests need to be. The second reason is to make test suites which target I/O libraries run much faster.
_Vows_ is an experiment in making this possible, while adding a minimum of overhead.
synopsis
--------
``js
var vows = require('vows'),
assert = require('assert');
vows.describe('Deep Thought').addBatch({
'An instance of DeepThought': {
topic: new DeepThought,
'should know the answer to the ultimate question of life': function (deepThought) {
assert.equal (deepThought.question('what is the answer to the universe?'), 42);
}
}
});
`
coverage reporting
------------------
Code coverage reporting is available if _instrumented_ code is detected. Currently only _instrumentation_ via node-jscoverage is supported. When _instrumented_ code is detected and coverage reporting is enabled using any of the --cover-plain, --cover-html, or --cover-json options a code coverage map is generated.
