Less verbose High isolation level per file       No eval needed 🔐       No global state Parallel and Sequential runs 🏃🏽🏃🏻

Poku is 100% documented Designed to be human-friendly Compatible with Coverage tools Node.js, Bun and Deno compatibility 🩵

✨ You are free to work with the packages you desire 🧑🏻‍🎓 You don't need to learn it all at once to get started 🧑🏻‍🔬 Poku adapts to your test, not the other way around ☁ Zero external dependencies (that means lightweight) 👴🏼 Poku doesn't restrict you from testing in legacy environments

Quickstart

Install 📦

npm i -D poku

npm i -D poku tsx

bun add -d poku

assert(true, 'Poku will describe it 🐷');

• Change from .mjs to .js by defining "type": "module" in your package.json.

Limitations

• Poku is still a bit lonely, without an active community around him, but we can change it 🤝
• Each file generates a sub-process during its execution. This can be reflected in projects with an extremely high volume of test files when run in parallel.
