test-context

Context Loader

Used for loading unit tests in a given file context.

This allows running tests within another files context. The result is as if your unit tests were written at the bottom of that the specified file. Files are pre-compiled (see 'supported formats');

For examples, see the /tests directory.

But globals are bad, right? Why make this? I need this functionality for a project.

Supported formats

• ES5
• ES6 (Babel)
• JSX
• Typescript

Examples (using Mocha & Chai)

ES5

/file.js

function addOne(x) {
  return x + 1;
}

/test.js

var expect = require('chai').expect;
// load 'test-context' module
var context = require('test-context');
// pass in a relative path
context('./file.js');
 
describe('addOne', function() {
  it('increments the input', function() {
    expect(addOne(1)).to.equal(2);
  });
});

ES6 (ES2015)

/file.js

const addOne = (x) => x + 1;

/test.js

var expect = require('chai').expect;
var context = require('test-context');
// ES6 requires an additional parameter { babel: true }
// pass in Babel options by adding { babelOptions: { ... } }
// or create a .babelrc file
context('./file.js', { babel: true });
 
describe('addOne', function() {
  it('increments the input', function() {
    expect(addOne(1)).to.equal(2);
  });
});

Typescript

/file.ts

const addOne = (x: number): number => x + 1;

/test.js

var expect = require('chai').expect;
var context = require('test-context');
// pass in ts options by adding { tsOptions: { ... } }
// or create a tsconfig.json file
context('./file.ts');
 
describe('addOne', function() {
  it('increments the input', function() {
    expect(addOne(1)).to.equal(2);
  });
});
