A test automation library bundling utilities and tools for TAP (Test Anything Protocol) based testing, specifically tailored for tapbuffer.
## Install
## Features
To install the package, execute:
- TAP (Test Anything Protocol) compliant output
- Support for both browser and Node.js environments
- Built-in test coordination and timing measurements
- Parallel and sequential test execution
- Pre-task support for setup operations
- Rich assertion library via `expect`
- Comprehensive Node.js tooling (shell, crypto, MongoDB, S3)
## Installation
```bash
npm install @push.rocks/tapbundle --save-dev
```
This command will add `@push.rocks/tapbundle` to your project's `devDependencies`, ensuring it is only used during development and testing.
## Usage
The `@push.rocks/tapbundle` is a versatile testing framework compatible with TAP, designed using TypeScript to facilitate robust and scalable testing of applications, whether you are dealing with unit tests, integration tests, or simply need a streamlined way to automate assertions across your applications lifecycle. The framework is especially useful if you are already using or planning to use tapbuffer.
The `@push.rocks/tapbundle` is a versatile testing framework compatible with TAP, designed using TypeScript to facilitate robust and scalable testing of applications, whether you are dealing with unit tests, integration tests, or simply need a streamlined way to automate assertions across your application's lifecycle. The framework is especially useful if you are already using or planning to use tapbuffer.
**Getting Started**
### Core API
To begin using `tapbundle`, ensure that your TypeScript project is configured for ESM syntax. Here's how you can set it up and start writing your tests:
The main test runner is accessed through the `tap` object:
```typescript
tap.test(
description: string, // Test description
testFunction: async (tools?: TapTools) => Promise<any>, // Test implementation
modeArg: 'normal' | 'only' | 'skip' = 'normal' // Execution mode
): TapTest
```
### Getting Started
1. **Basic Setup**

Start with a simple test to ensure everything is set up correctly:

});
@ -40,23 +54,14 @@ To begin using `tapbundle`, ensure that your TypeScript project is configured fo

```
The above code establishes a basic test environment, using the `tap` instance to manage execution flow and `expect` for assertions.
2. **Defining and Organizing Tests**
You can define tests using the `tap.test` method, where you provide a description and an asynchronous function:
```typescript
tap.test('basic arithmetic test', async () => {
expect(1 + 1).toEqual(2);
});
```
**Async Tests Handling**
Use `expectAsync` for promises or async operations:
```typescript
// Async Tests
tap.test('async operation test', async () => {
const fetchData = async () => Promise.resolve('data');
await expectAsync(fetchData()).toBeResolved();

3. **Tools for Advanced Testing**
`tapbundle` equips you with tools for sophisticated test scenarios:
```typescript
// Delay and Timing
tap.test('test with delay', async (tools) => {
await tools.delayFor(500); // waits for 500ms
expect(true).toBeTrue();
});
- **Delay and Timing**
// Custom Pre Tasks
tap.preTask('initialize environment', async () => {
console.log('Setting up preconditions');
});
```
Integrated delay methods are handy for simulating timeouts and waiting states:
```typescript
tap.test('test with delay', async (tools) => {
await tools.delayFor(500); // waits for 500ms
expect(true).toBeTrue();
});
```
- **Custom Pre Tasks**
Set up tasks to run before your test suite begins. This can be setup operations like initializing databases:
```typescript
tap.preTask('initialize environment', async () => {
console.log('Setting up preconditions');
});
```
4. **Execution and Control**
- **Running Tests**
Call `tap.start()` to execute your suite. Handle specific conditions using `.skip` or `.only`:
```typescript
tap.skip.test('skip this test', async () => {
// This test will be ignored
});
tap.only.test('run this test exclusively', async () => {
// Only this test will run among defined tests
});
```
- **Handling Errors and Debugging**
Make use of `consolecolor` to make outputs readable:
```typescript
tap.test('test with colored output', async (tools) => {
const message = await tools.coloredString('Test Passed!', 'green');
console.log(message);
});
```
5. **Integration with Node Tools**
For operations involving the shell or environment-specific setups, use Node tools provided:
4. **Execution Control**
```typescript
import { tapNodeTools } from './ts_node/index.js';
// Skip tests
tap.skip.test('skip this test', async () => {
// This test will be ignored
});
// Exclusive tests
tap.only.test('run this test exclusively', async () => {
// Only this test will run
});
// Colored output
tap.test('test with colored output', async (tools) => {
const message = await tools.coloredString('Test Passed!', 'green');
console.log(message);
});
```
5. **Node.js Integration**
```typescript
import { tapNodeTools } from '@push.rocks/tapbundle/node';
tap.test('execute shell command', async () => {
const result = await tapNodeTools.runCommand('ls -la');

expect(cert).toInclude('-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----');
});
```

8. **Web Testing Utilities**
If your testing involves browser environments, make use of the `webhelpers` utilities, for instance with libraries like Open WC:
8. **Web Testing**
```typescript
import { webhelpers } from './webhelpers.js';
import { webhelpers } from '@push.rocks/tapbundle';
tap.test('web component test', async () => {
const element = await webhelpers.fixture(webhelpers.html`<my-element></my-element>`);
const element = await webhelpers.fixture(
webhelpers.html`<my-element></my-element>`
);
expect(element.shadowRoot.querySelector('div')).toBeDefined();
});
```
9. **Using Webhelpers in Browser**
9. **Database and Storage Testing**
Make the tests more interactive, especially for UI Components:
```typescript
tap.preTask('Setup pre-task for UI test', async () => {
console.log('Setting up for UI tests');
```typescript
tap.test('Smartmongo setup test', async () => {
const smartmongo = await tapNodeTools.createSmartmongo();
await smartmongo.stop();
});
tap.test('UI test with Web Component', async () => {
const myEl = await webhelpers.fixture(webhelpers.html`<div id="myEl">Content</div>`);
expect(myEl.id).toBe('myEl');
tap.test('Smarts3 setup', async () => {
const smarts3 = await tapNodeTools.createSmarts3();
console.log('Smarts3 running');
await smarts3.stop();
});
```
10. **Leveraging Smartmongo and Smarts3**
## Best Practices
Whether youre working with databases or cloud storage simulations:
```typescript
tap.test('Smartmongo setup test', async () => {
const smartmongo = await tapNodeTools.createSmartmongo();
await smartmongo.stop();
});
tap.test('Smarts3 setup', async () => {
const smarts3 = await tapNodeTools.createSmarts3();
console.log('Smarts3 running');
await smarts3.stop();
});
```
Integrating `@push.rocks/tapbundle` streamlines your test management in complex projects. With these tools, intricate scenarios from unit tests to more elaborate integrated environments become easier to handle, providing a structured flow to achieve reliable testing outcomes. Happy testing!
1. Use descriptive test names that explain the expected behavior
2. Leverage pre-tasks for common setup operations
3. Use `testParallel` for independent tests that can run concurrently
4. Utilize test coordination for dependent tests
5. Set appropriate timeouts for async operations
