grunt-npm-update-test v0.1.1

grunt-npm-update-test

A Grunt Task for automatically updating NPM modules and running tests to catch regressions.

This is extremely helpful when updating a huge number of packages at once, since it makes tracking down regressions a lot faster.

grunt-npm-update-test is developed and maintained by grandcentrix GmbH, you can reach us on Twitter #grandcentrix.

Configuration

grunt.initConfig({

    npmUpdateTest: {
        options: {

            // Package JSON
            pgk: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),

            // Task to run after each module update to verify the functionality
            task: 'mocha:test',

            // Which version that available via NPM to install
            version: 'wanted' // either 'wanted' (default) or 'latest'

        }
    }

});

How it works

1. Fetches update information for all local modules via npm outdated

2. For each outdated module:

3. Installs the wanted / latest version

4. Runs the test task specified in the configuration options
   • If the tests succeed, saves the wanted / latest version and continues with the next module
   • If the tests fail, rolls back to the current version and continues with the next module

Example

Belows an example of how it looks if everything went smoothly:

Running "npmUpdateTest" task
>> Fetching module version information...
>> Found 1 module(s) that need to be updated...
>> Updating "pg" from 3.6.2 to 4.2.0... (1 out of 1)

All modules have been updated.

Done, without errors.

In case of failed updates, the output we'll look like this:

Running "npmUpdateTest" task
>> Fetching module version information...
>> Found 1 module(s) that need to be updated...
>> Updating "influx" from 3.0.0 to 3.3.0... (1 out of 1)
>> Tests failed for influx@3.3.0

0 module(s) have been updated, but 1 have failed and need a manual update:

  Package      Current     Latest
  -------      -------     ------

  influx       3.0.0       3.3.0

Warning: Incomplete module updates. Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.
