RealTestJS is a JavaScript test framework running on Node.js making testing simple and fun.

Getting started

Before you follow the steps below, make sure you have the

Node.js installed globally only your system

Installing

Install RealTestJS for Mac, Linux, or Windows:

npm install real-test-js --save-dev

or

yarn add real-test-js --dev

Write test:

Use the test function to write test cases and the describe function to group them.

More example:

https://github.com/VadimNastoyashchy/real-test-js-boilerplate-project

Let's start with test.js test file creation.

Example↓

test.js

import { describe, test, expect} from 'real-test-js'

describe('Title for describe block', () => {
  test('Title for test', () => {
    const arr = [1, 2, 3]
    expect(arr).toHaveLength(3)
  })
})

Run test:

npx real-test-js --test="test.js"

or

yarn real-test-js --test="test.js"

Where --test= your test file path

Configuration via config file

• test.config.js - config for Real Test JS (works as an engine)

Example↓

test.config.js

const config = {
  testDir: 'test',
  // testFile: 'test.js'
  reporter: {
    type: 'html',
    folderName: 'report',
    fileName: 'result',
  },
}

export default config

| Option Name | Required | Type | Description | | ------------ | -------- | ------ | ----------------------- | | "testFile" | false | string | path to the test file | | "testDir" | true | string | path to the test folder |

Reporter options

By default report is disabled.

To enable, add report configuration inside test config:

{
    testDir: "your_test_folder",
    reporter: {
      type: "html"
  },
}

| Option Name | Required | Type | Description | | -------------- | -------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------- | | "type" | false | string | reporter type. Now available: "json", "html" | | "folderName" | false | string | define reporter folder name | | "fileName" | false | string | define reporter file name |

Test runner API

| Option Name | Description | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | "test" | test is where you perform individual tests | | "describe" | describe is for organizing and grouping tests. Describe can be nested in describe | | "beforeEach" | Command allows to define setup tasks at the beginning of every It block | | "afterEach" | Command allow to define teardown tasks at the end of every It block | | "beforeAll" | Command allow to define setup tasks at the beginning of describe block | | "afterAll" | Command allow to define teardown tasks at the end of describe block |

Assertions

Use expect(actual_value) with assertions:

Example↓

  const arr = [1, 2, 3]
  expect(arr).toHaveLength(3)

| Assert Name | Description | | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | .toBeDefined() | Check actual value to be not undefined expect(1).toBeDefined() | | .toHaveLength() | Check actual array length to have expected value expect(arr).toHaveLength(number) | | .toBeFalsy() | Check actual value to be false | | .toBeTruthy() | Check actual value to be true | | .toEqual() | Check actual and expected values are the same (using ===) expect(value).toEqual(value) | | .notToEqual() | Check actual and expected values are not the same (using ===) expect(value).notToEqual(value) | | .toBeNull() | Check actual value to be null | | .notToBeNull() | Check actual value to be not null | | .toBeUndefined() | Check actual value to be undefined | | .toBeNaN() | Check actual value to be NaN | | .toBeGreaterThan() | Check actual value to be greater than expected value | | .toBeLessThan() | Check actual value to be less than expected value | | .toContain() | Use when you want to check that an item is in an array or a string. | | .toMatch() | Use .toMatch() to check that a string matches a regular expression. |

Context options

Use {} as the second param for describe and tests func.

Example↓

test('description', {}, () => {})

or

describe('description', {}, () => {})

Example↓

  describe('description', { skip: true }, () => {})
  //or
  test('description', { skip: true }, () => {})

| Option Name | Description | | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | { skip: true } | Option for skipping describe/test where it was provided | | { timeout: 2000 } | Option timeout (in ms) for specifying how long to wait before aborting. | | | The default timeout is 5 seconds. |

Async/Await support

RealTestJS also supports async/await approach. To use it just add async keyword before function callback inside test block

Example↓

test('Wait 1 sec and check', async () => {
  const number = await new Promise((resolve) =>
    setTimeout(() => resolve(1), 1_000)
  )
  expect(number).toBeDefined()
})
