The Problem

With using jest, you can get up and running pretty much with no configuration, but when you want to add features, the configuration gets pretty lengthy.

Say, for example, you want to tell jest that it should use a unique config location

jest --config ./path-to-config

Say you want to watch changes to your tests or modules AND have a unique config location and you want to collect coverage on those tests and you want a specific set of coverage reporters

jest --config ./path-to-config --watch --coverage --reporters="default" --reporters="jest-junit"

...

You get my point. The script gets pretty lengthy and unreadable overtime. And it makes the package.json scripts get pretty ugly.

Yes a lot of these settings can be defined in jest.config or package.json, but wouldn't it be great to not have to think about any of these configurations and have someone tell you what you could use?

My Solution

Having implemented testing in several projects I've noticed a pattern forming in what I like in my testing suite and I figured it was a good time to centralize that configuration. Why install all these packages that you have to maintain? That's gross, let something else handle that for you so you can start writing tests immediately.

This package is really just for me cuz I'm making a lot of assumptions in here, but if you want to use it, be my guest.

Installation

npm install --save-dev @tsw38/otis

Usage

This package contains one binary executable, one module to use for tests and a couple of jest extensions to add to your testing experiences.

CLI

otis --help

Prints out the commands available through the package

otis test

Runs the testing suite within your codebase, finds any .(spec|test).js(x)? file.

| Option | Alias | Test Type | Description | | ----------------- | ----- | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | --unit | -u | | only runs unit tests | | --e2e | -e | | only runs e2e tests | | --watch | -w | | runs test in watch mode | | --only-related | -r | | finds and runs only the related tests for the code changes | | --config | | | prints out the config for jest or cypress | | --start-command | | | an optional flag for pointing e2e test to a local start server command |

Examples:

otis test

• Runs all tests within your application

otis test -e

• Runs e2e tests (cypress run)

This is currently broken for CRA apps spinning up dev servers

otis test -e --start-command=test:server

• Runs e2e tests and instead of using npm start use npm run test:server

otis test -u

• Runs unit tests and collects a coverage report

otis test -u -w

• Runs unit tests in watch mode

otis test -e -w

• Runs e2e tests in watch mode (cypress open)

This is currently broken for CRA apps spinning up dev servers

React

These exports are all reexports of these packages simply centralizing them all to one location, all documention can be found below.

• msw
• test-data-bot
• @testing-library/react
• @testing-library/user-event
• @react-mock/localstorage

Example:

import {
    rest,
    fake,
    screen,
    render,
    waitFor,
    userEvent,
    setupServer,
    buildFakeModel,
    LocalStorageMock
} from '@tsw38/otis'

test('', () => {

})

Jest

This package is a zero config extendable testing system, simply install and you can get going. It will pick up whatever babel and jest configs you have in your application to add to the base defaults that are set up.

Threshold Ratchet

| Option | Type | Required? | Default | Description | | ------------ | ------- | --------- | ------- | ----------------------- | | tolerance | Number | no | 5 | a coverage buffer to allow some wiggle room in your tests | | roundDown | Boolean | no | true | only runs e2e tests |

jest.config.json

{
    "reporters": [
        "@tsw38/otis/threshold-ratchet"
    ]
}

package.json

{
    ...
    "jest": {
        "reporters": [
            "@tsw38/otis/threshold-ratchet"
        ]
    }
}

TODO

• Allow for multiple jest configs for a project (client | server)
  • Testing Javascript
