stest - Sane async tests

Installation:

Using npm:

npm install stest

Usage:

A very simple test:

var stest = require("stest"),
	assert = require("assert");

var opts = { timeout: 0 };

stest.addCase("stest", opts,{
	setup: function(promise){
		promise.emit("event", 42);
		promise.emit("other_event", "Hello!");
	},
	event: function(fortytwo){
		assert.equal(42, fortytwo);
	},
	other_event: function(hello){
		assert.equal("Hello!", hello);
	},
	teardown: function(){

	}
}).run();

stest hands you a promise object which is an instance of EventEmitter. Use this to emit events and values when your async calls complete, and check them in the corresponding functions associated with the name of the event you emitted.

The setup and teardown functions are given to you to setup your test case.

The opts argument allows you to specify a timeout. If all async calls are not called before that time, then the stest will give you a heads up.

Tests can be run en masse like this:

srunner -r test/test-*.js

Or like this:

node test.js

If you prefer not to use srunner.
