Nativescript tests hook

Nativescript plugin that lets you handling your Nativescript tests like the angular style guide

Nativescript is configured by default to let you put all your tests into tests folder but sometimes it can be a little annoying, as apps grow in size and components, having unit-tests next to implementations makes easier maintaining these tests, when we do development for web version of angular application, we put the test files in respective feature folders with .spec.ts or .spec.js suffix as per the angular style guide.

Example

app
|-- myFeature
     |- myFeature.component.html
     |- myFeature.component.ts
     |- myFeature.component.spec.ts

Just keep your .spec.ts or .spec.js files next to implementations and that's it. It moves all your tests from wherever they are into app to tests folder at tns' before-prepare hook time.

Installation

Npm

npm install nativescript-tests-hook --save-dev

Configuration

The only thing you need to be aware of is when importing file dependencies in your tests you have to reference them as loading files from the app bundle according to Nativescript's Location Rules Docs to keep their references when they will move.

Example

import { MyFeatureComponent } from '~/myFeature/myFeature.component';
import { AppComponent } from '~/app.component';
