cases

cases provides parameterized unit tests for Mocha.

Installation

$ npm install cases

Quick Start

Using cases is easy. All you need to do is to add a reference to it within your Node.js application:

const cases = require('cases');

Now you can write your tests using Mocha as usual, but you may introduce cases for tests where you need multiple test cases:

test('add returns the sum.', cases([
  [ 23, 42, 65 ],
  [ 12, 17, 29 ]
], (first, second, expected) => {
  const actual = add(first, second);
 
  assert.that(actual).is.equalTo(expected);
}));

This also works with asynchronous tests. The only difference is that you additionally need to provide the done parameter to your test function:

test('addAsync returns the sum.', cases([
  [ 23, 42, 65 ],
  [ 12, 17, 29 ]
], (first, second, expected, done) => {
  addAsync(first, second, actual => {
    assert.that(actual).is.equalTo(expected);
    done();
  });
}));

Non-inline test cases

Instead of providing all the test cases as inline data, you can alternatively specify a function that returns the test cases. This way you can load your test data from a file, a database or any other data source:

test('add returns the sum.', cases(() => {
  return [
    [ 23, 42, 65 ],
    [ 12, 17, 29 ]
  ];
}, (first, second, expected) => {
  const actual = add(first, second);
 
  assert.that(actual).is.equalTo(expected);
}));

This also works for asynchronous test functions. Please note that the function that gets the test cases must be synchronous nevertheless:

test('add returns the sum.', cases(() => {
  return [
    [ 23, 42, 65 ],
    [ 12, 17, 29 ]
  ];
}, (first, second, expected, done) => {
  addAsync(first, second, actual => {
    assert.that(actual).is.equalTo(expected);
    done();
  });
}));
