Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Overview

jest-cucumber is an alternative to Cucumber.js that runs on top on Jest. Instead of using describe and it blocks, you instead write a Jest test for each scenario, and then define Given, When, and Then step definitions inside of your Jest tests. jest-cucumber then allows you to link these Jest tests to your feature files and ensure that they always stay in sync.

Motivation

Jest is an excellent test runner with great features like parallel test execution, mocking, snapshots, code coverage, etc. If you're using VS Code, there's also a terrific Jest extension that allows you get realtime feedback as you're writing your tests and easily debug failing tests individually. Cucumber is a popular tool for doing Acceptance Test-Driven Development and creating business-readable executable specifications. This library aims to achieve the best of both worlds, and even run your unit tests and acceptance tests in the same test runner.

Getting Started

Install Jest Cucumber:

npm install jest-cucumber --save-dev

Add a Feature file:

Feature: Logging in

Scenario: Entering a correct password
    Given I have previously created a password
    When I enter my password correctly
    Then I should be granted access

Add the following to your Jest configuration:

  "testMatch": [
    "**/*.steps.js"
  ],

Add a step definition file that links to your feature file:

// logging-in.steps.js

import { defineFeature, loadFeature } from 'jest-cucumber';

const feature = loadFeature('features/LoggingIn.feature');

Add a Jest test for each scenario into your step definition file:

// logging-in.steps.js

import { defineFeature, loadFeature } from 'jest-cucumber';

const feature = loadFeature('features/LoggingIn.feature');

defineFeature(feature, test => {
  test('Entering a correct password', ({ given, when, then }) => {

  });
});

Add step definitions to your scenario Jest tests:

// logging-in.steps.js

import { loadFeature, defineFeature } from 'jest-cucumber';
import { PasswordValidator } from 'src/password-validator';

const feature = loadFeature('specs/features/basic-scenarios.feature');

defineFeature(feature, (test) => {
  let passwordValidator = new PasswordValidator();
  let accessGranted = false;

  beforeEach(() => {
    passwordValidator = new PasswordValidator();
  });

  test('Entering a correct password', ({ given, when, then }) => {
    given('I have previously created a password', () => {
      passwordValidator.setPassword('1234');
    });

    when('I enter my password correctly', () => {
      accessGranted = passwordValidator.validatePassword('1234');
    });

    then('I should be granted access', () => {
      expect(accessGranted).toBe(true);
    });
  });
});
