Abstract

This module provides a simple test framework to run unit test. You have to provide a list of json files with test cases and several callback functions

Test case schema

The test case definition in each file must follow the following schema:

{
    type: 'array',
    items: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
            description: { type: 'string' },
            tests: {
                type: 'array',
                items: {
                    type: 'object',
                    properties: {
                        description: { type: 'string' }
                    },
                    required: ['description']
                }
            }
        },
        required: ['description']
    }
}

Callbacks

Define the following callbacks to run the tests

Prepare

Prepare is called for each testcase. Use it to prepare the object to test and return it

.on('prepare', testcase => {
    // testcase is the full object structure of one testcase, one element of the topmost array
    return myTestObject
})

Run

Run is called for each test. Use it to run the test and return the result

.on('run', (test, object) => {
    // test is the full object structure of one test, one element of the inner array (property tests)
    return object.callFunctionToTest(test.data)
})

Validate

Validate is called for each test. Use it to validate the result

.on('validate', (result, test, path) => {
    // path contains all information about the current test: filename/testcase description/test description
    .unitTest.assertEqual(result, test.result, path)
})

break

Break is called, if you reques to run the test again (for esample on validation error). Then it will be called before the same test runs again. Use it to add a breakpoint and start debugging

.on('break', (test, object) => {
    // redo the test for debugging
    return object.callFunctionToTest(test.data)
})

Methods

new TestRun(verbose) creates a new testrun object. Use verbose, if the framework shall log each step.

run

Use run(fileNames) to run the testcases

on

Use on to register the callback functions (prepare, run, test, validate, break)

runAgain

Use it to run the last testcase again. It is usually called in "Validate" on validation error to simplify debugging.

unitTest

Use the getter unitTest to get the unit test object (see module @mangar2/unittest)
