Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

better-tape

better-tape is intended to be an extension pack with the much requested features that are missing in tape. Here is a 10 minute read on why one should pick tape over mocha.

Following are the features that are currently supported

  • Support for before(handle) to provide start-up hook
  • Support for after(handle) to provide clean-up hook
  • Full support for adding the above lifecycle hooks at all levels of a nested test suite

Install

npm i better-tape --save-dev

Usage

This is a fork of tape, please refer to tape README for complete documentation

You always need to require('better-tape) in your test files. You can run the tests using better-tape binary to utilize globbing, for example

$ better-tape tests/**/*.js

Example

Using before and after hooks at top level

const test = require('beter-tape');

test.before((handle) => {
    console.log(`\n>> INSIDE before`);
    handle.end();
});

test.after((handle) => {
    console.log(`>> INSIDE after\n`);
    handle.end();
});

test('Test 1', (t) => {
    t.pass('Executing Test 1');
    t.end();
});

test('Test 2', (t) => {
    t.pass('Executing Test 2');
    t.end();
});

Output

TAP version 13
# Subtest: test/sample.js
    # Test 1

    >> INSIDE before
    ok 1 Executing Test 1
    >> INSIDE after

    # Test 2

    >> INSIDE before
    ok 2 Executing Test 2
    >> INSIDE after

    1..2
    # tests 2
    # pass  2

    # ok

ok 1 - test/sample.js # time=109.678ms

1..1
# time=122.405ms

Using before and after hooks with nested test cases

const test = require('better-tape');

test.before((handle) => {
    console.log(`\n>> INSIDE before`);
    handle.end();
});

test.after((handle) => {
    console.log(`>> INSIDE after\n`);
    handle.end();
});

test('Suite 1', (suite) => {
    suite.before((handle) => {
        console.log(`\n\t >>>> INSIDE NESTED before`);
        handle.end();
    });

    suite.after((handle) => {
        console.log(`\t >>>> INSIDE NESTED after\n`);
        handle.end();
    });

    suite.test('Nested test 1', (t) => {
        t.pass('Executing Nested Test 1');
        t.end();
    });

    suite.test('Nested test 2', (t) => {
        t.pass('Executing Nested Test 2');
        t.end();
    });
});

Output

TAP version 13
# Subtest: test/sample.js
    # Suite 1

    >> INSIDE before
    # Nested test 1

    	 >>>> INSIDE NESTED before
    ok 1 Executing Nested Test 1
    	 >>>> INSIDE NESTED after

    # Nested test 2

    	 >>>> INSIDE NESTED before
    ok 2 Executing Nested Test 2
    	 >>>> INSIDE NESTED after

    >> INSIDE after

    1..2
    # tests 2
    # pass  2

    # ok

ok 1 - test/sample.js # time=102.496ms

1..1
# time=115.107ms
