Test.it

A minimalistic testing library

Test.it is a small testing library for people that want to live in code, not tests. No over engineering here. Inspired by the simplicity of libraries like Tape, but the implementation ideas of TinyTest

Usage

By default, you can run your tests like

test.it({
    'my passing test': function() {
        test.pass();
    },
    'my failing test': function() {
        test.fail('just wanted to fail fast');
    }
});

test.it will return true if the tests pass or false otherwise, in addition you should see the following console output

+ my passing test
- my failing test
- - Error: just wanted to fail fast 
    ...error stack...
# tests 1 pass 1 fail 0

A + will proceed test lines that pass and a - for those that fail, the trace back file:line is included after the failing test proceeded by - -

Optional Next

In addition to the default operation, test.it provides an optional next functional parameter that will return the results as an object for you to process however you like

For Fans of TinyTest

test.it({
    'my passing test': function() {
        test.pass();
    }
}, function(results) {
    if (window.document && document.body) {
        document.body.style.backgroundColor = (
            results.fail.length ? '#ff9999' : '#99ff99'
        );
    }
});

Sample Results Object

{
    "pass": ['list of passed tests', ...],
    "fail": ['list of errored tests', ...],
}

From this you can easily find the number of tests ran pass.length, number of failed tests fail.length or the total test count by adding the two. Simple.

Methods

To stay minimal, test.it only provides 6 testing methods

Method	Description
test.pass()	pass test
test.fail(message)	fails test with message
test.exists(value)	check if value exists
test.assert(expected, actual)	evaluates results using ==
test.equals(expected, actual)	evaluates results using ===

NOTE: wish eval was not so evil, assert(expression, message) would be ideal
