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.

Please consult the tape-six wiki for more information 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.
