Feedback: typescript and first impressions

[xenoterracide]

shouldn't this work? or will ava only run precompiled tests

Calebs-MBP:aurelia-propertysource calebcushing$ npx ava --node-arguments="--require ts-node/register --require=tsconfig-paths/register" src/__
tests__

  ✖ Couldn’t find any files to test

Calebs-MBP:aurelia-propertysource calebcushing$ cat src/__tests__/inject.test.ts 

import anyTest, { TestInterface } from 'ava';
import { DI, IContainer, ILogger, LoggerConfiguration } from '@aurelia/kernel';
import { value } from '../decorator';

const test = anyTest as TestInterface<IContainer>;

test.before( ( t ) => {
    const container = DI.createContainer();
    container.register( LoggerConfiguration.create( console ) );
    t.context = container;
} );

test( 'test', ( t ) => {
    class Foo {
        constructor ( @value( 'public.test' ) string: string ) {
            t.context.get( ILogger ).warn( () => '%j', string );
        }
    }

    t.is( t.context.get( Foo ), undefined );
} );

feels like the documentation needs work

UPDATE
ok, this actually works...

  "ava": {
    "extensions": [
      "ts"
    ],
    "require": [
      "source-map-support/register",
      "ts-node/register",
      "esm"
    ]
  }

except... WAT

Calebs-MBP:aurelia-propertysource calebcushing$ npx ava test/**/*.ts

   21: });                                     

  Difference:

  - Foo {}
  + undefined

After installing @ava/typescript, setting "typescript": true in the AVA configuration enables TypeScript support. You shouldn't change the extensions.

At the moment, this only works with pre-compiled files (sources & tests). If that's your jam you won't need ts-node/register. This has been working great for my work projects.

(I'm closing this issue for housekeeping purposes, but let's keep the conversation going.)
