REimplementing Unit Test

Simply another unit test framework for node.js

Design

  • Tries to support async tests
  • Saves typing
  • No scope or object shall be cluttered
  • NO huge object literals or 7-level indentation
  • Keeps a "right" design internally (which you won't see)

Features

Implemented

  • Extended assertion method
  • Ensure callback's called and event's fired
  • Set timeout for tests
  • A better-than-nothing command line test runner
  • setup support

Upcoming

  • teardown support
  • Suite-wise setup/teardown (startup and shutdown would be good names)
  • Nested test suites

(Not So) Near Future

  • Colored output, web runner...
  • Watch mode?
  • Tagged tests and/or suites
  • Custom running policy for skipping/picking tests
  • Custom test result reporter (after the internal API stablized)
  • Any crazy idea(s)

Installation

By using npm:

$ npm install reut

Install from repo:

$ cp -r src ~/.node_libraries/reut
# Assuming ~/bin is in your $PATH
$ ln -s ~/.node_libraries/reut/bin/cli.js ~/bin/reut

Usage

$ cat <<EOF >hello.js
var reut = require("reut")
reut.test("Say hello in Chinese!", function(test) {
  test.ok(true, "你好")
})
EOF
# And here we go
$ reut hello.js

Document doc/api.mkd sucks. See example/* instead.
