ntest

Simple unit testing tool for nodejs

Install

sudo npm install ntest -g

Usage

Create test files named like: test-foo.js or test-bar.js. And then run:

ntest test-directory

test/test-example.js

var assert = require('assert');

beforeEach(function() {
  console.log('before each test in this file');
});

afterEach(function() {
  console.log('after each test in this file');
});

beforeAll(function () {
  console.log('before all tests in this file');
});

afterAll(function() {
  console.log('after all tests in this file');
});

test('simple test', function () {
  assert.equal('hello', 'he' + 'llo');
});

test('async test', function (done) {
  process.nextTick(function () {
    // if the done function would not be called,
    // the test would fail with a timeout
    done();
  });
});

// use bang(!) as first letter in test name to execute only this test
// test('!execute only this test', function () {
// });

Todos

• Find test files in sub-directories
• Detect global created variables
• Allow the async-timeout to be configured
• Allow the test-file-naming-scheme to be configured
