hardhat test doesn't run any tests?

[JimLynchCodes]

Hi, when I point directly to my file with tests in it I get the output 0 passing

const { ethers } = require("hardhat");
const { use, expect } = require("chai");
const { solidity } = require("ethereum-waffle");

use(solidity);

describe("APPLE", async function () {
  let apple;

  const [owner, user1, user2] = await ethers.getSigners();

  beforeEach(async () => {
    const AppleContract = await ethers.getContractFactory('APPLE');
    apple = await AppleContract.deploy()
  })

  describe("init", function () {

    it('initializes everyone owning zero apples', async () => {

      expect(await apple.balanceOf(owner.address)).to.equal(0);
      expect(await apple.balanceOf(user1.address)).to.equal(0);
      expect(await apple.balanceOf(user2.address)).to.equal(0);

    })

    it('initializes all nutrition scores to zero', async () => {

      expect(await apple.get_nutrition_score(owner.address)).to.equal(0);
      expect(await apple.get_nutrition_score(user1.address)).to.equal(0);
      expect(await apple.get_nutrition_score(user2.address)).to.equal(0);

    })

    it('initializes total supply of apples to zero (none minted up front)', async () => {

      expect(await apple.totalSupply()).to.equal(0);

    })

  });

  describe('minting apple', () => {

    it('can\'t be called by owner or user addresses', async () => {

      await expect(apple.mint(owner.address, 1)).to.be.revertedWith('Only the TREE contract can call this function');

    })

    describe('called by TREE contract', () => {

      it('mints apple to the specified user', () => {
        // TODO
      })

    })

  })


});

 yarn test ./test/APPLE.test.js

Why does it not see any of my tests???

This issue is also being tracked on Linear.

We use Linear to manage our development process, but we keep the conversations on Github.

Do you have any script (shortcut) for yarn test, because basically you need to write yarn hardhat test?
When I write yarn test I got error Command "test" not found.

Create new test file (inside test folder with name like a.test.js), paste this:

describe("testDesc", function () {
	it("testIt", async () => {
		console.log("Works!");
	});
});

Run command: yarn hardhat test.
Does it work and pass 1 test?

Hey @JimLynchCodes,

The problem here is that you are using an async function within a describe, and that's not supported by mocha. Your describe callbacks need to be synchronous.

Thanks @woojiq for helping :)

I didn't think async describe was an issue before, because if I changed to async everything worked for me as before. But now I realized that this word means nothing if we do not cause anything asynchronous in the body. So I added const test = await ethers.getSigner() and now I have 0 passing. +1 point to understanding asynchrony.

This is kind of a problem though bc I need to call "ethers.getSigners()" in my code, which is an async function.

Why is mocha not supporting async describe? It doesn't make any sense to me... 👎

What is the problem to do async code in beforeEach?
Instead of const [owner, user1, user2] = await ethers.getSigners();, do smth like this:

let owner, user1, user2;
beforeEach() {
     [owner, user1, user2] = await ethers.getSigners();
}

P.S. didn't test
