Test Runner API

[ghost]

Any way to run ava tests programatically i.e. From javascript file ?

There's is an API, but it's not officially supported and might break at any time. const api = require('ava/api'). Example:

ava/test/api.js

Lines 34 to 40 in c1faf95

	const api = apiCreator();
	return api.run([path.join(__dirname, 'fixture/es2015.js')])
	.then(result => {
	t.is(result.passCount, 1);
	});
	});

See #1043 (comment).

Is there anything that I could do to help advance this? Or is this in more of the "need to think through the design / what we want" stage?

@davewasmer It's more that there are other parts of AVA's implementation that should be improved, and I personally don't want to also have to worry about how those changes impact a programmatic API. Lots of those issues are covered by the scope:scheduling label if you're interested.
