tape-six-proc

tape-six-proc is a helper for tape-six to run tests in separate processes. It works with Node, Deno, and Bun, and supports TypeScript natively without transpilation.

The standard tape6 runner uses worker threads. tape6-proc spawns each test file in its own subprocess instead, providing full process isolation.

See the tape-six wiki for details on writing tests and configuration.

How to use

1. Install tape-six-proc in your project: npm i -D tape-six-proc.
2. Write tests using tape-six.
3. Configure your tests: set-up tests.
4. Run tests: npm test.
