angular-ts-tdd

This package is made with the intent to practice TDD in projects with typescript where the tests execution is usually slow. Karma alone doesn't allow a dynamic selection of the file/folder to run and that cause a slow execution of the single file/folder. Using fdescribe doesn't fix the issue because the server still has to process all the files of the project. Taking advantage of Webpack tree shaking we can select a file or a small amount of files and be ready for the execution of the tests in a second.

Install

To install the package run npm install -g angular-ts-tdd

Angular-TS-TDD works in 2 steps:

• Run the server in the root folder of the application with angular-ts-tdd-server tsconfig=ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_TSCONFIG_FILE

  • tsconfig is the optional path to the tsconfig file, it not provided will default to tsconfig at the root of the project.

• Run the file/folder selector with angular-ts-tdd-select path=ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_FILE_OR_DIRECTORY baseTestPath="ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_BASE_TEST_FILE"

  • path is the path to the file to the unit test or directory containing unit tests that you wish to run.
  • baseTestPath is the optional parameter containing the path to a file that includes any prerequisites before you can run the test (such as loading core-js, zone-js, angular test bed). If not provided will recurse up directories to find base.spec.ts file.
