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

chai-fs

Build Status Dependency Status devDependency Status NPM version

Chai assertion plugin for the Node.js filesystem API. Uses path and synchronous fs to assert files and directories.

All assertions are available in expect, should and assert style, and support the optional, message parameter.

Forked

Forked because of peerDependencies issue.

Usage

server-side

Install from npm:

$ npm install chai-fs

Have chai use the chai-fs module:

var chai = require('chai');
chai.use(require('chai-fs'));

browser-side

No file system.

Assertions

basename()

Assert the return value of path.basename(path)

expect(path).to.have.basename(name, ?msg);
expect(path).to.not.have.basename(name, ?msg);

path.should.have.basename(name, ?msg);
path.should.not.have.basename(name, ?msg);

assert.basename(path, name, ?msg);
assert.notBasename(path, name, ?msg);

dirname()

Assert the return value of path.dirname(path)

expect(path).to.have.dirname(name, ?msg);
expect(path).to.not.have.dirname(name, ?msg);

path.should.have.dirname(name, ?msg);
path.should.not.have.dirname(name, ?msg);

assert.dirname(path, name, ?msg);
assert.notDirname(path, name, ?msg);

extname()

Assert the return value of path.extname(path)

expect(path).to.have.extname(name, ?msg);
expect(path).to.not.have.extname(name, ?msg);

path.should.have.extname(name, ?msg);
path.should.not.have.extname(name, ?msg);

assert.extname(path, name, ?msg);
assert.notExtname(path, name, ?msg);

path()

Assert the path exists.

Uses fs.existsSync().

expect(path).to.be.a.path(?msg);
expect(path).to.not.be.a.path(?msg);

path.should.be.a.path(?msg);
path.should.not.be.a.path(?msg);

assert.pathExists(path, ?msg);
assert.notPathExists(path, ?msg);

Use of Chai's exist-chain would've been nice but has issues with negations and the message parameter. So don't do that.

directory()

Assert the path exists and is a directory.

Uses fs.statSync().isDirectory()

expect(path).to.be.a.directory(?msg);
expect(path).to.not.be.a.directory(?msg);

path.should.be.a.directory(?msg);
path.should.not.be.a.directory(?msg);

assert.isDirectory(path,  ?msg);
assert.notIsDirectory(path, ?msg);

directory().and.empty

Assert the path exists, is a directory and contains zero item.

expect(path).to.be.a.directory(?msg).and.empty;
expect(path).to.be.a.directory(?msg).and.not.empty;

path.should.be.a.directory(?msg).and.empty;
path.should.be.a.directory(?msg).and.not.empty;

assert.isEmptyDirectory(path, ?msg);
assert.notIsEmptyDirectory(path, ?msg);
  • Chains after directory()
  • Uses fs.readdirSync().length === 0.
  • To negate this using expect/should you chain the .not-negation after the regular directory().

file()

Assert the path exists and is a file.

Uses fs.statSync().isFile()

expect(path).to.be.a.file(?msg);
expect(path).to.not.be.a.file(?msg);

path.should.be.a.file(?msg);
path.should.not.be.a.file(?msg);

assert.isFile(path, ?msg);
assert.notIsFile(path, ?msg);

file().and.empty

Assert the path exists, is a file and has zero size.

expect(path).to.be.a.file(?msg).and.empty;
expect(path).to.be.a.file(?msg).and.not.empty;

path.should.be.a.file(?msg).and.empty;
path.should.be.a.file(?msg).and.not.empty;

assert.isEmptyFile(path, ?msg);
assert.notIsEmptyFile(path, ?msg); 
  • Chains after file()
  • Uses fs.statSync().size === 0.
  • To negate this using expect/should you chain the .not-negation after the regular file().

file().with.json

Assert the path exists, is a file and contains json parsable text.

expect(path).to.be.a.file(?msg).with.json;
expect(path).to.be.a.file(?msg).with.not.json;

path.should.be.a.file(?msg).with.json;
path.should.be.a.file(?msg).with.not.json;

assert.jsonFile(path, ?msg);
assert.notJsonFile(path, ?msg); 
  • Chains after file()
  • To negate this using expect/should you chain the .not-negation after the regular file().
  • The with chain is just syntax sugar.

file().using.json.schema(obj)

Assert the path exists, is a file, contains json parsable text conforming to given JSON-Schema.

expect(path).to.be.a.file(?msg).with.json.using.schema(obj);
expect(path).to.be.a.file(?msg).with.json.not.using.schema(obj);

path.should.be.a.file(?msg).with.json.using.schema(obj);
path.should.be.a.file(?msg).with.json.not.using.schema(obj);

assert.jsonSchemaFile(path, schema,?msg);
assert.notJsonSchemaFile(path, schema, ?msg); 
  • Chains after file().with.json
  • The schema parameter must be a valid JSON-Schema v4.
  • Depends on the chai-json-schema plugin to be separately activated with chai.use().
  • To negate this using expect/should you chain the .not-negation after the regular json.
  • The with and using chains are just syntax sugar.

content()

Assert the path exists, is a file and has specific content.

expect(path).to.have.content(data, ?msg);
expect(path).to.not.have.content(data, ?msg);

path.should.have.content(data, ?msg);
path.should.not.have.content(data, ?msg);

assert.fileContent(path, data, ?msg);
assert.notFileContent(path, data, ?msg);
  • Reads file as utf8 text (could update to support base64, binary Buffer etc).

Note: In a future version this might be supported as a chain behind file() and directory()

content.that.match(/xyz/)

Assert the path exists, is a file and has content that match the regular expression.

expect(path).to.have.content.that.match(/xyz/, ?msg);
expect(path).to.not.have.content.that.match(/xyz/, ?msg);

path.should.have.content.that.match(/xyz/, ?msg);
path.should.not.have.content.that.match(/xyz/, ?msg);

assert.fileContentMatch(path, /xyz/, ?msg);
assert.notFileContentMatch(path, /xyz/, ?msg);
  • Reads file as utf8 text.

Planned assertions

There are some ideas for future assertions saved in this document.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. Please follow the code, test and style patterns and keep JSHint happy. Please make sure things work on all platforms, or at least Widows/Mac/Linux.

Build & test

Install development dependencies in your git checkout:

$ npm install

You need the global grunt command:

$ npm install grunt-cli -g

Build and run tests:

$ grunt

See the Gruntfile for additional commands.

:wrench: Test generator

This plugin uses a prototype of an "assertion plugin test generator" to generates tests for all aspects of the assertions while keeping the specs DRY.

The pattern splits the test into a style declaration tree and a set of variation on 3 types of test scenarios. The generator then combines ('multiplies') every scenario variation with the style tree data to get good coverage of all cases.

The style tree defines ways to use an assertion: first level is the style: expect/should and assert. Then it defines both the normal use and the negation, then divides those into different invocations patterns for each style. So you can test with/without message, or as a chained method or property etc.

The tests are ways to specify assertions and the test expectations.

  • valid - test expected to pass (but fail the negation)
  • invalid - test expected to fail (but pass the negation).
  • error - test expected to always fail (even when negated), because the data is invalid (eg: bad data type, missing parameters etc).

The report field is used the verify the error message if the test fails. It supports a simple template format using the assertion data object.

Why?

This looks a bit complex and cumbersome but it does allow to quickly add large amount of detailed tests for all assertions. So far it seems to work empowering so I might extract this to a separate npm module later.

Note it will generate a large amount of case variations so a small error in the code or your test setup can explode the suite wit a many failing assertions. Look closely at which tests are failing to see what is causing what.
