Just Testing

A Visual Studio Code extension for running tests in the integrated terminal.

Available commands:

• Run all tests
• Run all tests in file
• Run test on cursor
• Run last command

Supported languages and frameworks:

• Python pytest (default)
• Python unittest
• Python Django
• Python Nose
• JavaScript Jest
• Ruby RSpec

However Just Testing is simple and flexible enough to make it work with pretty much anything that runs in terminal!

Configuration Examples

Python

Poetry

"justTesting.baseCommand": "poetry run python -m pytest"

Pipenv

"justTesting.baseCommand": "pipenv run python -m pytest"

virtualenv

Point the base command to the python executable inside the virtualenv:

"justTesting.baseCommand": "path/to/virtualenv/python -m pytest"

unittest

"justTesting.baseCommand": "python -m unittest",
"justTesting.runOnCursorCommand": "{base} {fileName} -k {testName}"

Django

"justTesting.baseCommand": "python manage.py test",
"justTesting.runFileCommand": "{base} {module}",
"justTesting.runOnCursorCommand": "{base} {module}.{className}.{testName}",
"justTesting.expressions": {
    "className": { "regex": "class (.+TestCase)\\(" }
}

Nose

"justTesting.baseCommand": "python -m nose",
"justTesting.runOnCursorCommand": "{base} {fileName} -m {testName}"

JavaScript

NPM

"justTesting.baseCommand": "npm test",
"justTesting.runFileCommand": "{base} -- {fileName}",
"justTesting.runOnCursorCommand": "{base} -- {fileName} -t {testName}",
"justTesting.runOnCursorRegex": "it\\((.+),",

Jest

"justTesting.baseCommand": "jest",
"justTesting.runOnCursorRegex": "test\\((.+),",
"justTesting.runOnCursorCommand": "{base} -t {testName}"

Ruby

RSpec

"justTesting.baseCommand": "rspec",
"justTesting.runOnCursorCommand": "{base} {fileName}:{line}"

Settings

Setting	Description	Default value
justTesting.baseCommand	Base terminal command.	"python -m pytest -v"
justTesting.runAllCommand	Terminal command for "Run all tests".	"{base}"
justTesting.runFileCommand	Terminal command for "Run all tests in file".	"{base} {fileName}"
justTesting.runOnCursorRegex	Regular expression for matching closest test name.	"def (test_.+)\\("
justTesting.runOnCursorCommand	Terminal command for "Run test on cursor".	"{base} {fileName} -k {testName}"
justTesting.expressions	Custom expressions for template variables	{}
justTesting.contextMenusEnabled	Should right click context menu actions be enabled	true

All settings can be made specific for a language, so it's possible to have multiple configurations in a single project:

{
    "[javascript]": {
        "justTesting.baseCommand": "jest",
        ...
    },
    "[python]": {
        "justTesting.baseCommand": "pytest",
        ...
    }
}

Interpolation tags

Setting	Available interpolation tags
justTesting.runAllCommand	{base}
justTesting.runFileCommand	{base}, {fileName}, {module}
justTesting.runOnCursorCommand	{base}, {fileName}, {module}, {testName}, {line}

Custom expressions

The justTesting.expressions setting may be used to capture extra values to be used in justTesting.runOnCursorCommand. For example:

"justTesting.customExpressions": {
    "className": { "regex": "class (.+TestCase)\\(" }
},
"justTesting.runOnCursorCommand": "{base} {module}.{className}.{testName}"

Keyboard Shortcuts

Just Testing tries to be non intrusive so it does not come with predefined keyboard shortcuts. However VS Code allows users to set up their own custom keybindings. For example:

{
    "key": "ctrl+shift+r",
    "command": "justTesting.runAll"
}

The available commands are:

• justTesting.runAll
• justTesting.runFile
• justTesting.runOnCursor
