redtea

Test framework for JavaScript.

Usage

// test.js
import describe from 'redtea';

export default describe.batch(
  'My tests',
    describe('Number', 1, {type: Number}),
);

sudo npm install --global redtea
npm install --save-dev redtea
redtea test.js

My tests
  Number (number 1)
    √ is a Number

1 test(s), 1 passed, 0 failed

describe

describe() is the core function of redtea. It will assert a given value against an object of properties.

Notation

type DESCRIBE = (label: string, value: any, assertions: ASSERTIONS) => Function;

Example

describe('Is a number and is equal to 10', 10, {type: Number, value: 10});

batch

Use batch if you want to group tests together. You can use nested groups of tests this way too.

Notation

type BATCH = (label: string, ...tests: Array<Function>) => Function;

Example

describe.batch('Groups',
  describe.batch('Group 1'),
  describe.batch('Group 2',
    describe.batch('Group 3'),
  ),
);

promise

You can evaluate the return of a promise using promise.

Notation

type PROMISE = (label: string, promise: () => Promise, assertions: ASSERTIONS);

Example

describe.promise(
  'it should fulfill "hello"',
  () => new Promise(resolve => resolve('hello')),
  {value: 'hello'}
);

// Catching errors
describe.promise(
  'it should reject promise',
  () => new Promise((resolve, reject) => reject(new Error('Ouch'))),
  {
    type: Error,
    has: {message: 'Ouch'},
  }
);

emitter

You can also assert events emitted by an emitter.

Notation

type EMITTER = (label: string, emitter: () => EventEmitter, assertions: ASSERTIONS);

Example

import {EventEmitter} from 'events';

class Emitter extends EventEmitter {
  constructor(name) {
    super();
    this.name = name;
    process.nextTick(::this.greetings);
  }
  greetings() {
    this.emit('hello', this.name);
  }
}

describe.emitter(
  'it should greet "hello John"',
  () => new Emitter('John'),
  {
    emits: {
      hello: {
        wait: 250,
        value: 'John',
      }
    }
  }
);

// Make sure some events are not emitted
describe.emitter(
  'it should not throw error',
  () => new Emitter('John'),
  {
    not: {
      emits: {
        error: 5000,
      }
    },
  }
);

Assertions

Notations

type ASSERTIONS = {
  type?: TYPE,
  types?: TYPE[],
  mixed?: TYPE[],
  mixedArray?: TYPE[],
  value?: any,
  has?: any,
  shape?: Object,
  some?: (item: any, index: number, items: Array<any>) => boolean,
  every?: (item: any, index: number, items: Array<any>) => boolean,
  above: number | Date,
  below: number | Date,
  not?: ASSERTIONS,
  emits: EMITTERS,
};

type TYPE = Function | null | TYPE_EXTRA | Array<Function | null | TYPE_EXTRA>;

type TYPE_EXTRA = {
  mixed?: [TYPE],
};

type EMITTERS = {
  [event: string]: ASSERTIONS & {wait?: Number},
};

value: any

The value to match that. We use lodash's isEqual for comparisons.

define('Value', 10, {value: 10});

type: TYPE

Type comparison.

define('Is null', null, {type: null});
define('Is a regular expression', /a/, {type: RegExp});

class Foo {}
define('Is a foo', new Foo(), {type: Foo});

// Arrays
define('Array type', [1, 2, 3], {type: [Number]});

mixed: Array<TYPE>

define('Is either number or string', 1, {mixed: [Number, String]});

mixedArray: Array<TYPE>

define('Items are either boolean or an array of numbers', [true, [1]], {mixedArray: [Boolean, [Number]]});

has: any

String

Will perform a regular expression

define('Has abc', 'abcdefgh', {has: /abc/});

Array

Has at least one item matching.

define('Has 1', [1, 2, 3], {has: 1});

Object

Check if properties exist.

define('Has foo: 1', {foo: 1, bar: 2}, {has: {foo: 1}});
// property exists
define('Has foo', {foo: 1, bar: 2}, {has: 'foo'});
// properties exist
define('Has foo and bar', {foo: 1, bar: 2}, {has: ['foo', 'bar']});

some: (item: any, index: number, items: Array<any>) => boolean

Check if some items of the array match.

define(
  'At least 1 item greater than 5',
  [1, 5, 10],
  {some: (number => number > 5)}
);

every: (item: any, index: number, items: Array<any>) => boolean

Check if every items of the array match.

define(
  'All items greater than 5',
  [10, 15, 20],
  {every: (number => number > 5)}
);

above: number | Date

define(
  'Number is above 2',
  3,
  {above: 2}
);

define(
  'Date is in the future',
  new Date([2020]),
  {above: new Date()}
);

below: number | Date

define(
  'Number is below 2',
  1,
  {below: 2}
);

define(
  'Date is in the past',
  new Date([1980]),
  {below: new Date()}
);

between: Array<number> | Array<Date>

define(
  'Number is between 1 and 3',
  2,
  {between: [1, 3]}
);

define(
  'Date is between last year and next year',
  new Date(),
  {between: [new Date([2015]), new Date([2016])]}
);
