Implement
registerCompletionHandler()
by @novemberborn in https://github.com/avajs/ava/pull/3283AVA 6 expects test code to clean up gracefully when the tests are complete, allowing the test environment (worker thread or child process) to exit. If this does not happen, AVA will report a timeout. You can use
registerCompletionHandler()
to perform any other clean up (or indeed exit the process) after AVA has completed the test execution. See the description here.Fix potential bug with watch mode when no failed test files are written by @novemberborn in https://github.com/avajs/ava/pull/3287

Breaking Changes
AVA now requires Node.js versions 18.18, 20.8 or 21. Versions 14 and 16 are no longer supported. #3251 #3216
When tests finish, worker threads or child processes are no longer exited through
proces.exit()
. If your test file does not exit on its own, the test run will time out. #3260Changes to watch mode #3218:
ava.config.*
orpackage.json
configuration.ignoredByWatcher
configuration has moved to thewatchMode
object, under theignoreChanges
key.fs.watch()
in recursive mode. This is supported on Linux in Node.js 20 or newer, and MacOS and Windows in Node.js 18 as well. There are caveats to keep in mind.Failed assertions now throw, meaning that any subsequent code is not executed. This also impacts the type definitions. #3246
Only native errors are now considered errors by the
t.throws()
andt.throwsAsync()
assertions.Object.create(Error.prototype)
is not a native error. #3229Changes to modules loaded through the
require
configuration #3184:@ava/typescript
if necessary.Improvements
Rewritten watcher
The watcher has been rewritten. It’s now built on
fs.watch()
in recursive mode.@vercel/nft
is used to perform static dependency analysis, supporting ESM and CJS imports for JavaScript & TypeScript source files. This is a huge improvement over the previous runtime tracking of CJS imports, which did not support ESM.Integration with
@ava/typescript
has been improved. The watcher can now detect a change to a TypeScript source file, then wait for the corresponding build output to change before re-running tests.The ignoredByWatcher configuration has moved to the watchMode object, under the ignoreChanges key.
See #3218 and #3257.
Failed assertions now throw
Assertions now throw a
TestFailure
error when they fail. This error is not exported or documented and should not be used or thrown manually. You cannot catch this error in order to recover from a failure, uset.try()
instead.All assertions except for
t.throws()
andt.throwsAsync()
now returntrue
when they pass. This is useful for some of the assertions in TypeScript where they can be used as a type guard.Committing a failed
t.try()
result now also throws.See #3246.
t.throws()
andt.throwsAsync()
can now expect any errorBy default, the thrown error (or rejection reason) must be a native error. You can change the assertion to expect any kind of error by setting
any: true
in the expectation object:See #3245 by @adiSuper94.
The
require
configuration is now more powerfulIt now loads ES modules.
Local files are loaded through
@ava/typescript
if necessary, so you can also write these in TypeScript.If there is a default export function, it is invoked after loading. The function is awaited so it can do asynchronous setup before further modules are loaded. Arguments from the configuration can be passed to the function (as a [structured clone](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/structuredClone)).

: AVA 4Compare Source
We're celebrating the new year with the official AVA 4 release! 🎊
npm install -D ava
The cool new stuff 🆒
Worker threads 🧑💼
By default, test files are now run in worker threads! Huge thanks to @dnlup for landing this.
Test files should run a little quicker, since it's easier to spin up a worker thread than a child process. You can use
--no-worker-threads
on the command line, orworkerThreads: false
in your AVA configuration, to fall back to using child processes.Shared workers are no longer experimental 🎊
Shared workers are no longer experimental. This is a powerful feature that loads a program in a worker thread in AVA's main process and then communicate with code running in the test workers. This enables your tests to better utilize shared resources during a test run, as well as providing opportunities to set up these resources before tests start (or clean them up after).
When you use watch mode, shared workers remain loaded across runs.
Improved test selection 🤳
AVA selects test files based on your
package.json
orava.config.*
configuration files. When used on the CLI you can then provide patterns to select a subset of these files.You can now pass a folder and AVA will select the test files contained therein. Or you can provide a specific JavaScript file and AVA will run it even if it wasn’t selected by your configuration.
If AVA finds files based on the configuration, but none of those were selected to the CLI arguments, it now prints a warning.
Better monorepo support 🚝
AVA now looks for
ava.config.*
files in parent directories, until it finds a directory with a.git
directory (or file). This lets you specify AVA configuration at the top of your monorepo and still run AVA from within each package.New snapshot format 📸
@ninevra has worked tirelessly on landing a new snapshot format. It contains all information necessary to regenerate the report file. This allows for snapshots to be updated even if tests or assertions are skipped.
Previously failing test files run first 🏃
AVA now records which test files failed in the previous run. It then prioritizes testing these files when you run AVA again. Thanks @bunysae!
ESM support 🤾
AVA 4 comes with full ES module support. Both ESM and CJS entrypoints are provided so that you can use it no matter how you manage your project.
The
ava.config.js
file is now treated as CJS or ESM depending on module type configured in thepackage.json
file.ava.config.mjs
is now supported.If you use JavaScript files with non-standard extensions you can configure AVA to import them.
Note that dependency tracking in watch mode does not yet work with ES modules.
Dedicated macro factory with type inference 🏭
test.macro()
returns an object that can be used withtest()
and hooks. Thet.context
type is inherited fromtest
. When used with TypeScript this gives much better type inference.Like with AVA 3, regular functions that also have a
title
property that is a string-returning function are supported. However the type checking won’t be as good.Source maps 🗺
AVA now uses the source map support that’s built in to Node.js itself. This should give better stack traces. However we’re not sure yet what happens if you load a program that automatically modifies stack traces.
Line number selection (where
npx ava test.js:5
runs the test at line 5) now uses source maps and so should work better with TypeScript files.Assertions as type guards 💂
Most assertions now return a boolean indicating whether they passed. If you use AVA with TypeScript, you can use this as a type guard. Thanks @jmarkham828!
(This is not supported for
t.snapshot()
and the "throws" assertions.)Breaking changes 💥
AVA 4 requires at least Node.js 12.22, 14.17, 16.4 or 17. Node.js 10 is no longer supported.
If installed globally, AVA will no longer use any locally installed version. Install locally and run with
npx ava
instead. When running test files from another project that also has AVA installed, those test files will now fail to run (because they'll try and use that other AVA version).Ecosystem 🏞

Automatic snapshot file removal
When you stop using snapshots in a test file, the next time you run
ava --update-snapshots
we'll remove the left-over snapshot files. Thanks @ninevra!4f093ab
TAP improvements
@tymfear has been on a roll improving our TAP reporter.
t.log()
output is now compliant with the spec99ab93a
. Tests that did not run due to timeouts are now reported98595da
.Next-generation configuration
AVA 4 will add full support for ESM configuration files as well as allowing you to have asynchronous factory functions
a2f2614
. If you're using Node.js 12 or later you can opt-in to these features in AVA 3 by enabling thenextGenConfig
experiment. Say in anava.config.mjs
file:This also allows you to pass an
.mjs
file using the--config
argument.With this experiment enabled, AVA will no longer have special treatment for
ava.config.js
files. Instead AVA follows Node.js' behavior, so if you've set"type": "module"
you must use ESM, and otherwise you must use CommonJS.You mustn't have an
ava.config.mjs
file next to anava.config.js
orava.config.cjs
file.See avajs/ava@v3.14.0...v3.15.0 for all changes.
v3.14.0
: 3.14.0Compare Source
Snapshot ordering
With this release, snapshot files are now ordered based on test declaration, not completion. This makes it easier to compare the human-readable reports to your test file, and also stops the
.snap
from changing when the reports themselves don't. You'll want to rebuild snapshots after upgrading to this release to isolate any changes. Thanks @ninevra!e66b54c
Shared workers
We’ve been working on making AVA more extensible. One major step on this path is our new shared worker support: run code in the main process, communicate with test workers and influence execution. Find out more in our shared workers recipe.

Comparison bugfix
There was a bug in our comparison library which meant that negative-index properties on lists were not compared. This was fixed in a patch release, which will definitely be installed when you install AVA 3.12. Your tests may have been passing, even though they should have been failing. They'll fail now. Snapshots may also be different, causing tests to fail.
