tl;dr

Node.js unit testing is kind of a ghetto. Most of the runners have some goofy side-effect that makes me hate them. nodeunit is the only one I've used that I like the way it acts, but the API is pretty ugly. This is a simple wrapper that makes it look sane, with before, after, and test.

It also wraps up everything into domains so that random uncaught stuff actually works with the test framework.

Usage

var http = require('http');

// This does hack up the global namespace so you don't have to put some
// var test = nodeunitPlus.test; at the top of every file.
require('../index');


before(function (cb) {
    this.server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
       res.writeHead(200);
       res.end();
    });
    this.server.listen(cb);
});


after(function (cb) {
    this.server.close(cb);
});


test('get /', function (t) {
    var opts = {
        agent: false,
        hostname: '127.0.0.1',
        port: this.server.address().port,
        path: '/'
    };
    http.get(opts, function (res) {
        t.ok(res);
        t.equal(res.statusCode, 200);
        t.end();
    });
});
