## Why tstest?
**tstest** is a TypeScript test runner that makes testing delightful. It's designed for modern development workflows with beautiful output, flexible test execution, and powerful features that make debugging a breeze.
### ✨ Key Features
- 🎯 **Smart Test Execution** - Run all tests, single files, or use glob patterns
- 🎨 **Beautiful Output** - Color-coded results with emojis and clean formatting
- 📊 **Multiple Output Modes** - Choose from normal, quiet, verbose, or JSON output
- 🔍 **Automatic Discovery** - Finds all your test files automatically
- 🌐 **Cross-Environment** - Supports Node.js and browser testing
- 📝 **Detailed Logging** - Optional file logging for debugging
-**Performance Metrics** - See which tests are slow
- 🤖 **CI/CD Ready** - JSON output mode for automation
## Installation
```bash
npm install --save-dev @gitzone/tstest
# or with pnpm
pnpm add -D @gitzone/tstest
```
## Usage
### Basic Test Execution
```bash
# Run all tests in a directory
tstest test/
# Run a specific test file
tstest test/test.mycomponent.ts
# Use glob patterns
tstest "test/**/*.spec.ts"
tstest "test/unit/*.ts"
```
### Execution Modes
**tstest** intelligently detects how you want to run your tests:
1. **Directory mode** - Recursively finds all test files
2. **File mode** - Runs a single test file
3. **Glob mode** - Uses pattern matching for flexible test selection
### Command Line Options
| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `--quiet`, `-q` | Minimal output - perfect for CI environments |
| `--verbose`, `-v` | Show all console output from tests |
| `--no-color` | Disable colored output |
| `--json` | Output results as JSON |
| `--logfile` | Save detailed logs to `.nogit/testlogs/[testname].log` |
### Example Outputs
#### Normal Output (Default)
```
🔍 Test Discovery
Mode: directory
Pattern: test
Found: 4 test file(s)
▶️ test/test.ts (1/4)
Runtime: node.js
✅ prepare test (1ms)
Summary: 1/1 PASSED
📊 Test Summary
┌────────────────────────────────┐
│ Total Files: 4 │
│ Total Tests: 4 │
│ Passed: 4 │
│ Failed: 0 │
│ Duration: 542ms │
└────────────────────────────────┘
ALL TESTS PASSED! 🎉
```
#### Quiet Mode
```
Found 4 tests
✅ test functionality works
✅ api calls return expected data
✅ error handling works correctly
✅ performance is within limits
Summary: 4/4 | 542ms | PASSED
```
#### Verbose Mode
Shows all console output from your tests, making debugging easier:
```
▶️ test/api.test.ts (1/1)
Runtime: node.js
Making API call to /users...
Response received: 200 OK
Processing user data...
✅ api calls return expected data (145ms)
Summary: 1/1 PASSED
```
#### JSON Mode
Perfect for CI/CD pipelines:
```json
{"event":"discovery","count":4,"pattern":"test","executionMode":"directory"}
{"event":"fileStart","filename":"test/test.ts","runtime":"node.js","index":1,"total":4}
{"event":"testResult","testName":"prepare test","passed":true,"duration":1}
{"event":"summary","summary":{"totalFiles":4,"totalTests":4,"totalPassed":4,"totalFailed":0,"totalDuration":542}}
```
## Test File Naming Conventions
tstest supports different test environments through file naming:
| Pattern | Environment | Example |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| `*.ts` | Node.js (default) | `test.basic.ts` |
| `*.node.ts` | Node.js only | `test.api.node.ts` |
| `*.chrome.ts` | Chrome browser | `test.dom.chrome.ts` |
| `*.browser.ts` | Browser environment | `test.ui.browser.ts` |
| `*.both.ts` | Both Node.js and browser | `test.isomorphic.both.ts` |
### Writing Tests
tstest uses TAP (Test Anything Protocol) for test output. Use `@pushrocks/tapbundle` for the best experience:
```typescript
import { expect, tap } from '@push.rocks/tapbundle';
tap.test('my awesome test', async () => {
const result = await myFunction();
expect(result).toEqual('expected value');
});
tap.start();
```
## Advanced Features
### Glob Pattern Support
Run specific test patterns:
```bash
# Run all unit tests
tstest "test/unit/**/*.ts"
# Run all integration tests
tstest "test/integration/*.test.ts"
# Run multiple patterns
tstest "test/**/*.spec.ts" "test/**/*.test.ts"
```
### Automatic Logging
Use `--logfile` to automatically save test output:
```bash
tstest test/ --logfile
```
This creates detailed logs in `.nogit/testlogs/[testname].log` for each test file.
### Performance Analysis
In verbose mode, see performance metrics:
```
⏱️ Performance Metrics:
Average per test: 135ms
Slowest test: api integration test (486ms)
```
### CI/CD Integration
For continuous integration, combine quiet and JSON modes:
```bash
# GitHub Actions example
tstest test/ --json > test-results.json
# Or minimal output
tstest test/ --quiet
```
