tapzero

Zero dependency test framework

A fork of raynos/tapzero

Source code

The implementation is <250 loc, (<500 with comments) ( https://github.com/bicycle-codes/tapzero/blob/fork/index.js ) and very readable.

install

npm i -D @bicycle-codes/tapzero

Migrating from tape

import tape from 'tape'
// Tapzero exports an object with a test function property.
import { test } from '@bicycle-codes/tapzero'

tape('my test', (t) => {
  t.equal(2, 2, 'ok')
  t.end()
})

// Auto ending behavior on function completion
test('my test', (t) => {
  t.equal(2, 2, 'ok')
  // t.end() does not exist.
})

End automatically

Return a promise. The test will end when the promise resolves.

// tapzero "auto" ends async tests when the async function completes
tapzero('my cb test', async (t) => {
  await new Promise((resolve) => {
    t.equal(2, 2, 'ok')
    setTimeout(() => {
      // instead of calling t.end(), resolve a promise
      resolve()
    }, 10)
  })
})

Plan the number of assertions

tapzero('planning example', t => {
  // this test will fail if we execute more or fewer
  //   than planned assertions
  t.plan(2)
  t.ok('hello')
  t.equal(2, 2, 'two is two')
})

API

No aliases, smaller API surface area

import { test } from '@bicycle-codes/tapzero'

test('example test name', async t => {
  // ...
})

tape('my test', (t) => {
  t.equals(2, 2)
  t.is(2, 2)
  t.isEqual(2, 2)
})

tapzero('my test', (t) => {
  // tapzero does not implement any aliases, very small surface area.
  t.equal(2, 2)
  t.equal(2, 2)
  t.equal(2, 2)
})

`test(name, [fn])`

Run a single named test case. The fn will be called with the t test object.

Tests run one at a time and complete when the fn completes. The fn can be async.

`test.only(name, fn)`

Like test(name, fn) except if you use .only this is the only test case that will run for the entire process, all other test cases using tape will be ignored.

`test.skip(name, [fn])`

Creates a test case that will be skipped

`t.deepEqual (actual, expected, msg)`

Check that two objects have equal shapes.

`t.notDeepEqual (actual, expected, msg)`

Passes if the two given objects are not equal.

`t.equal (actual, expected, msg)`

Check that two given values are equal.

`t.notEqual (actual, expected, msg)`

Pass if the two values are not equal.

`t.fail (msg)`

Explicitly fail.

`t.ok (value, msg)`

Check that value is truthy.

`t.throws (fn, expected, message)`

Check that fn does throw an error.

Motivation
