Webtest

Webtest is an opinionated Webpack based test runner.

It has opinions on the following topics:

• You use Webpack
• You use Jasmine test framework (this opinion can be lifted easily, send a PR if you want to add support for mocha, ...)

Installation

% npm install @prometheusresearch/webtest

Usage

Basic usage is as simple as:

% webtest .

which will try to find tests using **/__tests__/*-test.js glob pattern and execute them within the PhantomJS headless browser.

To re-run tests on source code changes supply --watch parameter:

% webtest --watch .

To run tests in regular browser jsut visit http://localhost:3000 while this command is executing.

Custom test discovery

You can specify desired test suites by listsing them as arguments:

% webtest ./lib/__tests__/Value-test.js

Another way is to use a glob pattern:

% webtest ./lib/**/*-test.js

Webpack configuration

Webtest looks for webpack.config.js file in the current directory and will use it for building w test bundle if it is available. You can use --config parameter to specify alternative Webpack configuration:

% webtest --config webpack.config.test.js ...

You can put Webtest entry configuration in webtest.entry key of a Webpack configuration:

module.exports = {

  // ... other Webpack configuration

  webtest: {
    entry: [
      './lib/**/__tests__/*-test.js'
    ]
  }

}
