NAME¶
tape
—
tap-producing test harness for node and browsers
SYNOPSIS¶
tape |
[-r module]
[file] [file ...] |
DESCRIPTION¶
tape
is a tap-producing test harness for
node and browsers requiring only a few line of code. It can be used for unit
and integration testing. tape
will execute test
described by file option. File are interpreted using glob module by default.
You may therefore need to quote file in order to avoid globbing by shell.
Tests are written in pure javascript, so tests could be run using
Node.js.
OPTIONS¶
-r,
--require
- load one or more modules before running any tests. Please note that all
modules loaded using the -r flag will run before any tests, regardless of
when they are specified. For example,
tape
-r a b -r c will actually load a and c before loading b, since they are flagged as required modules.
-i,
--ignore
- ignore tests from certain folders and/or files are not intended to be run.
It defaults to `.gitignore` file when passed with no argument. For
example:
tape -i .ignore **/*.js`
--no-only
- This is particularly useful in a CI environment where an "only
test" is not supposed to go unnoticed. By passing the `--no-only`
flag, any existing "only test" causes tests to fail:
tape --no-only **/*.js`
Alternatively, the environment variable `NODE_TAPE_NO_ONLY_TEST` can be set to `true` to achieve the same behavior; the command-line flag takes precedence.
METHODS¶
The assertion methods in `tape` are heavily influenced or copied from the methods in node-tap.
var test = require('tape')
EXAMPLES¶
tape 'tests/**/*.js' tape -r './my/local/module' 'tests/**/*.js' tape -r 'babel-register' 'tests/**/*.js'
