[!IMPORTANT] Node.js 18.x+ version must be installed in your OS.

CLI

Usage: npx stest [options]

Testing framework for TypeScript Node.js applications

Options:
  --init [extension]   initialise configuration file [json | yml | ts | js]
  -w, --watch          run tests in watch mode
  -c, --config <path>  define custom config file path

Installation

• Install dependency

  $ yarn add @stlib/testing

• Enable decorators in your tsconfing.json

  {
    "experimentalDecorators": true
  }

Usage

How to create tests and run tests

[!NOTE] You can see test examples here

First you need is to create a .spec.ts or .test.ts file.

This testing framework uses decorators to define tests. You need to create a class with @Test('Test suite name') decorator. Each test must be a class method with decorator @Case('test case description'). @Case description and @Test name can be ignored

Example:

import { assertThat, Test, Case } from '@stlib/testing';

@Test('Example testing suite')
class MyTests {

  @Case('Example pass test case')
  checkIfTenIsMoreThatFive() {
    assertThat(10).toBeGreaterThan(5);
  }
  
  @Case()
  checkIfTenIsString() {
    assertThat(10).toBeTypeOf('string');
  }
}

To run tests, use cli command

$ npx stest

Decorators API

[!NOTE] You can see test examples here

| Decorator | Description | |-------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | @Test(description?: string) | Define a class as a test suite | | @Case(description?: string) | Define method as a test case | | @Case({ description?: string, timeout?: number }) | Define method as a test case with custom timeout time | | @DataSet(...dataSets: any[][]) | Define data sets for multiple running one test case with different data | | @DataTable(dataTable: { inputs: any[], expected: any }[]) | Define data table for multiple running one test case with different data. Data table prevents running tests with data sets. | | @AfterAll(description?: string) | Force method to run after all test cases | | @BeforeAll(description?: string) | Force method to run before all test cases | | @AfterEach(description?: string) | Runs after each test case | | @BeforeEach(description?: string) | Runs before each test case |

Assertions API

assertThat(actual).to*(expected);

| Method | Description | |----------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | toEqual(expected: any) | Check equality between actual and expected | | toNotEqual(expected: any) | Check if actual and expected are not equal | | toStrictEqual(expected: any) | Check strict equality between actual and expected | | toStrictNotEqual(expected: any) | Check if actual and expected are strict not equal | | toBe(expected: any) | Check if actual is an expected | | toNotBe(expected: any) | Check if actual is not an expected | | toBeTruthy() | Check if actual is true | | toBeFalsy() | Check if actual is false | | toBeGreaterThan(expected: number) | Check if actual is greater than expected | | toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(expected: number) | Check if actual is greater than or equals expected | | toBeLessThan(expected: number) | Check if actual is less than expected | | toBeLessThanOrEqual(expected: number) | Check if actual is less than or equal expected | | toBeDefined() | Check if actual is defined | | toBeUndefined() | Check if actual is undefined | | toBeNull() | Check if actual is null | | toBeNotNull() | Check if actual is not null | | toBeNaN() | Check if actual is NaN | | toBeFinite() | Check if actual is finite number | | toBeTypeOf(type: any) | Check if actual is type of expected. Example: assertThat('a').toBeTypeOf('string'), assertThat(TypeError).toBeTypeOf(Error) | | toHaveProperty(property: any) | Check if actual has expected property | | toThrow(expectedError?: ErrorConstructor, ...args: any[]) | Check if actual throw an error or expected error. Also you can provide arguments for actual function | | toNotThrow(expectedError?: ErrorConstructor, ...args: any[]) | Check if actual do not throw an error or do not throw an error provided to as 'expectedError' param. Also you can provide arguments for actual function | | toContain(expected: any) | Check if actual contains a value from expected | | toContainEqual(expected: any) | Check if actual contains a value which equal to value from expected | | toMatch(expected: RegExp or string) | Check if actual mathes to expected regular expression | | toHaveLength(expected: number) | Check if actual has expected length | | toStartWith(expected: string) | Check if actual starts with expected string | | toEndWith(expected: string) | Check if actual ends with expected string | | toSatisfy(predicate: (value: any) => boolean) | Check if actual satisfies a predicate | | toIncludeAllMembers(expected: any[]) | Check if actual includes all members of expected array | | toIncludeAnyMembers(expected: any[]) | Check if actual includes at least one member of expected array |

Mocking API

| Class | Method | Description | |----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------| | MockRegistry | restoreAll() | Restores all created mocks | | MockFn | new MockFn(functionToMock: Function, implementation?: Function) | Creates function mock | | | mockFn.mock(implementation?: Function) | Mocks a function | | | mockFn.verifyCalled(expectedCallcount: number) | Verifies function has been called expected times | | | mockFn.verifyCalledWith(expectedArguments: any[]) | Verifies function has been called with expected arguments | | | mockFn.restore() | Restores original function logic | | | mockFn.getFunction() | Returns fuction | | | mockFn.call(...args: any[]) | Call function | | MockModule | new MockModule(moduleName: string) | Creates module mock | | | mockModule.mockMethod(methodName: string, implementation: Function) | Mocks a function | | | mockModule.verifyCalled(methodName: string, expectedCallcount: number) | Verifies function has been called expected times | | | mockModule.verifyCalledWith(methodName: string, expectedArguments: any[]) | Verifies function has been called with expected arguments | | | mockModule.restoreMethod(methodName: string) | Restores original function logic | | | mockModule.restoreAll() | Restores all functios | | Mock | new Mock(instance: T) | Creates class instance mock | | | mockClass.mockMethod(methodName: string, implementation: Function) | Mocks a function | | | mockClass.verifyCalled(methodName: string, expectedCallcount: number) | Verifies function has been called expected times | | | mockClass.verifyCalledWith(methodName: string, expectedArguments: any[]) | Verifies function has been called with expected arguments | | | mockClass.restoreMethod(methodName: string) | Restores original function logic | | | mockClass.restoreAll() | Restores all functios |

Spy API

Create a new spy by spyOn function:

const example = new ExampleClass();
const greetSpy = spyOn(example, 'greet');

| Class | Method | Description | |------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | spyOn(object: any, methodName: string) | | Creates new spy on class method | | | getCallCount() | Returns amount of method calls | | | getCallOrder() | Returns an array with call order | | | getCallResults(callIndex?: number) | Returns an array with call results | | | getCallArgs(callIndex?: number) | Returns an array with arguments passed | | | getThrownErrors(callIndex?: number) | Returns an array with with all thrown errors | | | wasCalled(amount?: number) | Returns true if method was called at least once or more than amount times | | | wasCalledWith(...args: any[]) | Returns true if method was called with specified arguments at least once |

Configuration

To provide custom configuration for stest create stest.config.{json,yml,ts,js} file in project base directory.
Or use this command to initialize config file. By default it has json format. Override it by adding one of the possible options for the --init flag: ts, js, json, yml

$ npx stest --init

Also it is possible to define custom path to the config file using --config flag.

$ npx stest --config ./configs/test.conf.yml

Config properties:

• pattern - tests path pattern
• ignore - files and directories to ignore
• autoClearMocks - clears all created mocks after each test,
• cacheWatcher - enables caching in watch mode, to run only new or changed tests
• enableReporting - enables generating test reports. To enable it install a reporting package:

  $ yarn add @stlib/testing-reporter

Config file example:

• json:

  {
    "pattern": "test/**/*.{spec,test}.ts",
    "ignore": ["node_modules", "lib"],
    "autoClearMocks": true,
    "cacheWatcher": false,
    "enableReporting": false
  }

• yaml:

  pattern: "test/**/*.{spec,test}.ts"
  ignore:
    - node_modules
    - lib
  autoClearMocks: true
  cacheWatcher: false
  enableReporting: false

• TS/JS:

  import { StestConfig } from "@stlib/testing";
  
  const config: StestConfig = {
    pattern: "test/**/*.{spec,test}.ts",
    ignore: ["node_modules", "lib"],
    autoClearMocks: true,
    cacheWatcher: false,
    enableReporting: false,
  };
  export default config;
