🍞 simple, proprietary, fun javascript test framework for comparative testing
Mouka is a Czech word for flour. And it sounds like mocha :D
Don't worry. Mouka does not aspire to be the next big testing framework. It's just a proprietary tool for slightly different way of testing code that would be otherwise hard to test with mocha. In my quest for making multiplatform easier I started development of couple of wrappers (uwp-fs, uwp-socket and other unpublished projects) that mimic Node APIs and need to be tested against those APIs. Mocha did not fit my needs so I created this inspired-by-mocha script that eventually outgrew its parent repository when I needed to use this handy testing tool in other repos.
Mocha - is a great project for when you are only testing your APIs that is being built from ground up. But testing a project to match already exiting API (Node's fs
, stream
, net
, etc... in this case) means painstakingly creating detailed tests describing every possible scenario based on experimenting in targetted environment.
Mouka - bears similarity to Mocha (describe
and it
) but instead of detailing tests with asserts Mouka lets you return values and outputs from tests executed in main environment (Npde), export them to a "What the output should be like" file and then compare it against tests executed in secondary environment (UWP, Browser and whatnot).
TL;DR: Compare outputs of two environments (Node vs Web or UWP) instead of writing convoluted asserts.
