This repository has moved to https://github.com/holochain/holochain-rust/tree/develop/cmd/src/cli/js-tests-scaffold
This is a recommended configuration for developing tests for Holochain DNA packages. The point of these files are to write tests that can successfully run within node using the holochain-nodejs Holochain container environment.
To get proper assertions and formatted output we want to use existing JS scripting frameworks. The configuration currently uses tape as a testing framework. We chose Tape for now because of its minimal footprint.
These files are included into the test folder of any new DNA source code that is started using hc init.
Dependencies are installed by running npm install.
Javascript build step is done by running npm run build. This places a new file called bundle.js within a dist folder, within this folder.
Note that those steps are performed automatically by hc test.
Note about default configuration with TAPE testing: If you use this default configuration with Tape for testing, to get an improved CLI visual output (with colors! and accurate exit codes), we recommend adjusting the command you use to run tests as follows:
hc test | test/node_modules/faucet/bin/cmd.js
