cashmere v0.4.9

cashmere

A javascript testing library.

Warning: Install at your own peril! This project is brand new and nowhere near ready!

Important: All test files must end in .test.js, the runner executes a find command with that extension

Note: As specified in engines, Node >=6.4.0 is required as ES6 Proxies are currently being used

Note: If you run the tests for cashmere, some of them fail intentionally to show FAIL output

To install:

yarn add cashmere or npm install cashmere

Here is an example of a test person.test.js:

describe('person', () => {
  context('#firstName()', () => {
    it('Should get first name', () => {
      expect({ hello: 'world' }).to.deep.equal({ hello: 'world' });
    });

    it('Should get middle name', () => {
      expect(1).to.equal(1);
    });
  });
});

Note that you don't have to import anything, including expect.

Here is an example of an asynchronous test websites.test.js:

describe('websites', () => {
  it.async('Facebook', (done, request) => {
    request.get('https://www.facebook.com', (err, res) => {
      expect(err).to.equal(null);
      expect(res.statusCode).to.equal(200);
      done();
    });
  });

  it.async('Halis Technology', (done, request) => {
    request.get('https://www.halistechnology.com', (err, res) => {
      expect(err).to.equal(null);
      expect(res.statusCode).to.equal(200);
      done();
    });
  });
});

For async tests it's it.async instead of it. Note that you don't have to import anything, including request.

Current Features

• Unit tests
• Mocha style describe/context/it
• Async tests (brand new so use at your own peril)
• Automatically compiles tests written in ES6
• No special unicode characters in test output that don't display correctly in CI servers
• No hiding logging statements
• Clean stack traces
• Diff output

Future Goals

• Performance (may need parallel runs at some point)
• Setup a global Redux-like store and have access to it from every test
• Experiment with different testing styles
• Probably need to store the output of asynchronous tests until done is called and then flush it all to the console at once

Note: In the tests you DO NOT need to import the following:

• describe
• context
• it
• expect
• request
• By
• until

These are provided for you by default.

If you are using ESLint then put the following in your .eslintrc:

  "globals": {
    "expect": true
  },
  "env": {
    "mocha": true
  }

Note: This all works on Mac right now, Windows support could be added at some point
