$ npm install test
test
npm packageThis is a user-land port of node:test
,
the experimental test runner introduced in Node.js 18. This module makes it
available in Node.js 14 and later.
Minimal dependencies, with full test suite.
Differences from the core implementation:
--experimental-abortcontroller
CLI flag to
work on Node.js v14.x. It's recommended to pass
NODE_OPTIONS='--experimental-abortcontroller --no-warnings'
in your env if
you are testing on v14.x.Stability: 1 - Experimental
The node:test
module facilitates the creation of JavaScript tests.
To access it:
import test from 'test'
const test = require('test')
Tests created via the test
module consist of a single function that is
processed in one of three ways:
Promise
that is considered failing if the
Promise
rejects, and is considered passing if the Promise
resolves.Promise
, the test will fail.The following example illustrates how tests are written using the
test
module.
test('synchronous passing test', t => {
// This test passes because it does not throw an exception.
assert.strictEqual(1, 1)
})
test('synchronous failing test', t => {
// This test fails because it throws an exception.
assert.strictEqual(1, 2)
})
test('asynchronous passing test', async t => {
// This test passes because the Promise returned by the async
// function is not rejected.
assert.strictEqual(1, 1)
})
test('asynchronous failing test', async t => {
// This test fails because the Promise returned by the async
// function is rejected.
assert.strictEqual(1, 2)
})
test('failing test using Promises', t => {
// Promises can be used directly as well.
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setImmediate(() => {
reject(new Error('this will cause the test to fail'))
})
})
})
test('callback passing test', (t, done) => {
// done() is the callback function. When the setImmediate() runs, it invokes
// done() with no arguments.
setImmediate(done)
})
test('callback failing test', (t, done) => {
// When the setImmediate() runs, done() is invoked with an Error object and
// the test fails.
setImmediate(() => {
done(new Error('callback failure'))
})
})
If any tests fail, the process exit code is set to 1
.
The test context's test()
method allows subtests to be created. This method
behaves identically to the top level test()
function. The following example
demonstrates the creation of a top level test with two subtests.
test('top level test', async t => {
await t.test('subtest 1', t => {
assert.strictEqual(1, 1)
})
await t.test('subtest 2', t => {
assert.strictEqual(2, 2)
})
})
In this example, await
is used to ensure that both subtests have completed.
This is necessary because parent tests do not wait for their subtests to
complete. Any subtests that are still outstanding when their parent finishes
are cancelled and treated as failures. Any subtest failures cause the parent
test to fail.
Individual tests can be skipped by passing the skip
option to the test, or by
calling the test context's skip()
method as shown in the
following example.
// The skip option is used, but no message is provided.
test('skip option', { skip: true }, t => {
// This code is never executed.
})
// The skip option is used, and a message is provided.
test('skip option with message', { skip: 'this is skipped' }, t => {
// This code is never executed.
})
test('skip() method', t => {
// Make sure to return here as well if the test contains additional logic.
t.skip()
})
test('skip() method with message', t => {
// Make sure to return here as well if the test contains additional logic.
t.skip('this is skipped')
})
describe
/it
syntaxRunning tests can also be done using describe
to declare a suite
and it
to declare a test.
A suite is used to organize and group related tests together.
it
is an alias for test
, except there is no test context passed,
since nesting is done using suites.
describe('A thing', () => {
it('should work', () => {
assert.strictEqual(1, 1);
});
it('should be ok', () => {
assert.strictEqual(2, 2);
});
describe('a nested thing', () => {
it('should work', () => {
assert.strictEqual(3, 3);
});
});
});
describe
and it
are imported from the test
module.
import { describe, it } from 'test';
const { describe, it } = require('test');
only
testsIf node--test
is started with the --test-only
command-line option, it is
possible to skip all top level tests except for a selected subset by passing
the only
option to the tests that should be run. When a test with the only
option set is run, all subtests are also run. The test context's runOnly()
method can be used to implement the same behavior at the subtest level.
// Assume node--test is run with the --test-only command-line option.
// The 'only' option is set, so this test is run.
test('this test is run', { only: true }, async t => {
// Within this test, all subtests are run by default.
await t.test('running subtest')
// The test context can be updated to run subtests with the 'only' option.
t.runOnly(true)
await t.test('this subtest is now skipped')
await t.test('this subtest is run', { only: true })
// Switch the context back to execute all tests.
t.runOnly(false)
await t.test('this subtest is now run')
// Explicitly do not run these tests.
await t.test('skipped subtest 3', { only: false })
await t.test('skipped subtest 4', { skip: true })
})
// The 'only' option is not set, so this test is skipped.
test('this test is not run', () => {
// This code is not run.
throw new Error('fail')
})
The [--test-name-pattern
][] command-line option can be used to only run tests
whose name matches the provided pattern. Test name patterns are interpreted as
JavaScript regular expressions. The --test-name-pattern
option can be
specified multiple times in order to run nested tests. For each test that is
executed, any corresponding test hooks, such as beforeEach()
, are also
run.
Given the following test file, starting Node.js with the
--test-name-pattern="test [1-3]"
option would cause the test runner to execute
test 1
, test 2
, and test 3
. If test 1
did not match the test name
pattern, then its subtests would not execute, despite matching the pattern. The
same set of tests could also be executed by passing --test-name-pattern
multiple times (e.g. --test-name-pattern="test 1"
,
--test-name-pattern="test 2"
, etc.).
test('test 1', async (t) => {
await t.test('test 2');
await t.test('test 3');
});
test('Test 4', async (t) => {
await t.test('Test 5');
await t.test('test 6');
});
Test name patterns can also be specified using regular expression literals. This
allows regular expression flags to be used. In the previous example, starting
Node.js with --test-name-pattern="/test [4-5]/i"
would match Test 4
and
Test 5
because the pattern is case-insensitive.
Test name patterns do not change the set of files that the test runner executes.
Once a test function finishes executing, the results are reported as quickly as possible while maintaining the order of the tests. However, it is possible for the test function to generate asynchronous activity that outlives the test itself. The test runner handles this type of activity, but does not delay the reporting of test results in order to accommodate it.
In the following example, a test completes with two setImmediate()
operations still outstanding. The first setImmediate()
attempts to create a
new subtest. Because the parent test has already finished and output its
results, the new subtest is immediately marked as failed, and reported later
to the {TestsStream}.
The second setImmediate()
creates an uncaughtException
event.
uncaughtException
and unhandledRejection
events originating from a completed
test are marked as failed by the test
module and reported as diagnostic
warnings at the top level by the {TestsStream}.
test('a test that creates asynchronous activity', t => {
setImmediate(() => {
t.test('subtest that is created too late', t => {
throw new Error('error1')
})
})
setImmediate(() => {
throw new Error('error2')
})
// The test finishes after this line.
})
The Node.js test runner can be invoked from the command line:
node--test
By default, Node.js will recursively search the current directory for JavaScript source files matching a specific naming convention. Matching files are executed as test files. More information on the expected test file naming convention and behavior can be found in the test runner execution model section.
Alternatively, one or more paths can be provided as the final argument(s) to the Node.js command, as shown below.
node--test test1.js test2.mjs custom_test_dir/
node--test test1.js test2.mjs custom_test_dir/
In this example, the test runner will execute the files test1.js
and
test2.mjs
. The test runner will also recursively search the
custom_test_dir/
directory for test files to execute.
When searching for test files to execute, the test runner behaves as follows:
node_modules
directories are skipped unless explicitly provided by the
user.test
is encountered, the test runner will search it
recursively for all all .js
, .cjs
, and .mjs
files. All of these files
are treated as test files, and do not need to match the specific naming
convention detailed below. This is to accommodate projects that place all of
their tests in a single test
directory..js
, .cjs
, and .mjs
files matching the
following patterns are treated as test files:
^test$
- Files whose basename is the string 'test'
. Examples:
test.js
, test.cjs
, test.mjs
.^test-.+
- Files whose basename starts with the string 'test-'
followed by one or more characters. Examples: test-example.js
,
test-another-example.mjs
..+[\.\-\_]test$
- Files whose basename ends with .test
, -test
, or
_test
, preceded by one or more characters. Examples: example.test.js
,
example-test.cjs
, example_test.mjs
..node
and .json
are not
automatically executed by the test runner, but are supported if explicitly
provided on the command line.Each matching test file is executed in a separate child process. If the child
process finishes with an exit code of 0, the test is considered passing.
Otherwise, the test is considered to be a failure. Test files must be
executable by Node.js, but are not required to use the node:test
module
internally.
The node:test
module supports mocking during testing via a top-level mock
object. The following example creates a spy on a function that adds two numbers
together. The spy is then used to assert that the function was called as
expected.
import assert from 'node:assert';
import { mock, test } from 'test';
test('spies on a function', () => {
const sum = mock.fn((a, b) => {
return a + b;
});
assert.strictEqual(sum.mock.calls.length, 0);
assert.strictEqual(sum(3, 4), 7);
assert.strictEqual(sum.mock.calls.length, 1);
const call = sum.mock.calls[0];
assert.deepStrictEqual(call.arguments, [3, 4]);
assert.strictEqual(call.result, 7);
assert.strictEqual(call.error, undefined);
// Reset the globally tracked mocks.
mock.reset();
});
'use strict';
const assert = require('node:assert');
const { mock, test } = require('test');
test('spies on a function', () => {
const sum = mock.fn((a, b) => {
return a + b;
});
assert.strictEqual(sum.mock.calls.length, 0);
assert.strictEqual(sum(3, 4), 7);
assert.strictEqual(sum.mock.calls.length, 1);
const call = sum.mock.calls[0];
assert.deepStrictEqual(call.arguments, [3, 4]);
assert.strictEqual(call.result, 7);
assert.strictEqual(call.error, undefined);
// Reset the globally tracked mocks.
mock.reset();
});
The same mocking functionality is also exposed on the TestContext
object
of each test. The following example creates a spy on an object method using the
API exposed on the TestContext
. The benefit of mocking via the test context is
that the test runner will automatically restore all mocked functionality once
the test finishes.
test('spies on an object method', (t) => {
const number = {
value: 5,
add(a) {
return this.value + a;
},
};
t.mock.method(number, 'add');
assert.strictEqual(number.add.mock.calls.length, 0);
assert.strictEqual(number.add(3), 8);
assert.strictEqual(number.add.mock.calls.length, 1);
const call = number.add.mock.calls[0];
assert.deepStrictEqual(call.arguments, [3]);
assert.strictEqual(call.result, 8);
assert.strictEqual(call.target, undefined);
assert.strictEqual(call.this, number);
});
The node:test
module supports passing [--test-reporter
][]
flags for the test runner to use a specific reporter.
The following built-reporters are supported:
tap
The tap
reporter is the default reporter used by the test runner. It outputs
the test results in the TAP format.
spec
The spec
reporter outputs the test results in a human-readable format.
dot
The dot
reporter outputs the test results in a compact format,
where each passing test is represented by a .
,
and each failing test is represented by a X
.
[--test-reporter
][] can be used to specify a path to custom reporter.
a custom reporter is a module that exports a value
accepted by [stream.compose][].
Reporters should transform events emitted by a {TestsStream}
Example of a custom reporter using {stream.Transform}:
import { Transform } from 'node:stream';
const customReporter = new Transform({
writableObjectMode: true,
transform(event, encoding, callback) {
switch (event.type) {
case 'test:start':
callback(null, `test ${event.data.name} started`);
break;
case 'test:pass':
callback(null, `test ${event.data.name} passed`);
break;
case 'test:fail':
callback(null, `test ${event.data.name} failed`);
break;
case 'test:plan':
callback(null, 'test plan');
break;
case 'test:diagnostic':
callback(null, event.data.message);
break;
}
},
});
export default customReporter;
const { Transform } = require('node:stream');
const customReporter = new Transform({
writableObjectMode: true,
transform(event, encoding, callback) {
switch (event.type) {
case 'test:start':
callback(null, `test ${event.data.name} started`);
break;
case 'test:pass':
callback(null, `test ${event.data.name} passed`);
break;
case 'test:fail':
callback(null, `test ${event.data.name} failed`);
break;
case 'test:plan':
callback(null, 'test plan');
break;
case 'test:diagnostic':
callback(null, event.data.message);
break;
}
},
});
module.exports = customReporter;
Example of a custom reporter using a generator function:
export default async function * customReporter(source) {
for await (const event of source) {
switch (event.type) {
case 'test:start':
yield `test ${event.data.name} started\n`;
break;
case 'test:pass':
yield `test ${event.data.name} passed\n`;
break;
case 'test:fail':
yield `test ${event.data.name} failed\n`;
break;
case 'test:plan':
yield 'test plan';
break;
case 'test:diagnostic':
yield `${event.data.message}\n`;
break;
}
}
}
module.exports = async function * customReporter(source) {
for await (const event of source) {
switch (event.type) {
case 'test:start':
yield `test ${event.data.name} started\n`;
break;
case 'test:pass':
yield `test ${event.data.name} passed\n`;
break;
case 'test:fail':
yield `test ${event.data.name} failed\n`;
break;
case 'test:plan':
yield 'test plan\n';
break;
case 'test:diagnostic':
yield `${event.data.message}\n`;
break;
}
}
};
The value provided to --test-reporter
should be a string like one used in an
import()
in JavaScript code, or a value provided for [--import
][].
The [--test-reporter
][] flag can be specified multiple times to report test
results in several formats. In this situation
it is required to specify a destination for each reporter
using [--test-reporter-destination
][].
Destination can be stdout
, stderr
, or a file path.
Reporters and destinations are paired according
to the order they were specified.
In the following example, the spec
reporter will output to stdout
,
and the dot
reporter will output to file.txt
:
node --test-reporter=spec --test-reporter=dot --test-reporter-destination=stdout --test-reporter-destination=file.txt
When a single reporter is specified, the destination will default to stdout
,
unless a destination is explicitly provided.
run([options])
options
{Object} Configuration options for running tests. The following
properties are supported:
concurrency
{number|boolean} If a number is provided,
then that many files would run in parallel.
If true
, it would run os.availableParallelism() - 1
test files in
parallel.
If false
, it would only run one test file at a time.
Default: false
.files
: {Array} An array containing the list of files to run.
Default matching files from test runner execution model.signal
{AbortSignal} Allows aborting an in-progress test execution.timeout
{number} A number of milliseconds the test execution will
fail after.
If unspecified, subtests inherit this value from their parent.
Default: Infinity
.inspectPort
{number|Function} Sets inspector port of test child process.
This can be a number, or a function that takes no arguments and returns a
number. If a nullish value is provided, each process gets its own port,
incremented from the primary's process.debugPort
.
Default: undefined
.Returns: {TestsStream}
run({ files: [path.resolve('./tests/test.js')] })
.pipe(process.stdout);
test([name][, options][, fn])
name
{string} The name of the test, which is displayed when reporting test
results. Default: The name
property of fn
, or '<anonymous>'
if fn
does not have a name.options
{Object} Configuration options for the test. The following
properties are supported:
concurrency
{number|boolean} If a number is provided,
then that many tests would run in parallel.
If true
, it would run os.availableParallelism() - 1
tests in parallel.
For subtests, it will be Infinity
tests in parallel.
If false
, it would only run one test at a time.
If unspecified, subtests inherit this value from their parent.
Default: false
.only
{boolean} If truthy, and the test context is configured to run
only
tests, then this test will be run. Otherwise, the test is skipped.
Default: false
.signal
{AbortSignal} Allows aborting an in-progress test.skip
{boolean|string} If truthy, the test is skipped. If a string is
provided, that string is displayed in the test results as the reason for
skipping the test. Default: false
.todo
{boolean|string} If truthy, the test marked as TODO
. If a string
is provided, that string is displayed in the test results as the reason why
the test is TODO
. Default: false
.timeout
{number} A number of milliseconds the test will fail after.
If unspecified, subtests inherit this value from their parent.
Default: Infinity
.fn
{Function|AsyncFunction} The function under test. The first argument
to this function is a TestContext
object. If the test uses callbacks,
the callback function is passed as the second argument. Default: A no-op
function.undefined
once the test completes.The test()
function is the value imported from the test
module. Each
invocation of this function results in reporting the test to the {TestsStream}.
The TestContext
object passed to the fn
argument can be used to perform
actions related to the current test. Examples include skipping the test, adding
additional diagnostic information, or creating subtests.
test()
returns a Promise
that resolves once the test completes. The return
value can usually be discarded for top level tests. However, the return value
from subtests should be used to prevent the parent test from finishing first
and cancelling the subtest as shown in the following example.
test('top level test', async t => {
// The setTimeout() in the following subtest would cause it to outlive its
// parent test if 'await' is removed on the next line. Once the parent test
// completes, it will cancel any outstanding subtests.
await t.test('longer running subtest', async t => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(resolve, 1000)
})
})
})
The timeout
option can be used to fail the test if it takes longer than
timeout
milliseconds to complete. However, it is not a reliable mechanism for
canceling tests because a running test might block the application thread and
thus prevent the scheduled cancellation.
describe([name][, options][, fn])
name
{string} The name of the suite, which is displayed when reporting test
results. Default: The name
property of fn
, or '<anonymous>'
if fn
does not have a name.options

{Function|AsyncFunction} The function under suite
declaring all subtests and subsuites.
The first argument to this function is a SuiteContext
object.

module. Each
invocation of this function results in the creation of a Subtest.
After invocation of top level describe
functions,
all top level tests and suites will execute.

Shorthand for skipping a test,
same as it([name], { skip: true }[, fn])
.
it.todo([name][, options][, fn])
Shorthand for marking a test as TODO
,
same as it([name], { todo: true }[, fn])
.

fn
{Function|AsyncFunction} The hook function.
If the hook uses callbacks,
the callback function is passed as the second argument. Default: A no-op
function.options
{Object} Configuration options for the hook. The following

describe('tests', async () => {
afterEach(() => t.diagnostics('about to run a test'));
it('is a subtest', () => {
assert.ok('some relevant assertion here');
});
});
MockFunctionContext
The MockFunctionContext
class is used to inspect or manipulate the behavior of
mocks created via the MockTracker
APIs.
ctx.calls
A getter that returns a copy of the internal array used to track calls to the mock. Each entry in the array is an object with the following properties.
arguments
{Array} An array of the arguments passed to the mock function.error
{any} If the mocked function threw then this property contains the
thrown value. Default: undefined
.result
{any} The value returned by the mocked function.stack
{Error} An Error
object whose stack can be used to determine the
callsite of the mocked function invocation.target
{Function|undefined} If the mocked function is a constructor, this
field contains the class being constructed. Otherwise this will be
undefined
.this
{any} The mocked function's this
value.ctx.callCount()
This function returns the number of times that this mock has been invoked. This
function is more efficient than checking ctx.calls.length
because ctx.calls
is a getter that creates a copy of the internal call tracking array.
ctx.mockImplementation(implementation)
implementation
{Function|AsyncFunction} The function to be used as the
mock's new implementation.This function is used to change the behavior of an existing mock.
The following example creates a mock function using t.mock.fn()
, calls the
mock function, and then changes the mock implementation to a different function.
test('changes a mock behavior', (t) => {
let cnt = 0;
function addOne() {
cnt++;
return cnt;
}
function addTwo() {
cnt += 2;
return cnt;
}
const fn = t.mock.fn(addOne);
assert.strictEqual(fn(), 1);
fn.mock.mockImplementation(addTwo);
assert.strictEqual(fn(), 3);
assert.strictEqual(fn(), 5);
});
ctx.mockImplementationOnce(implementation[, onCall])
implementation
{Function|AsyncFunction} The function to be used as the
mock's implementation for the invocation number specified by onCall
.onCall
{integer} The invocation number that will use implementation
. If
the specified invocation has already occurred then an exception is thrown.
Default: The number of the next invocation.This function is used to change the behavior of an existing mock for a single
invocation. Once invocation onCall
has occurred, the mock will revert to
whatever behavior it would have used had mockImplementationOnce()
not been
called.
The following example creates a mock function using t.mock.fn()
, calls the
mock function, changes the mock implementation to a different function for the
next invocation, and then resumes its previous behavior.
test('changes a mock behavior once', (t) => {
let cnt = 0;
function addOne() {
cnt++;
return cnt;
}
function addTwo() {
cnt += 2;
return cnt;
}
const fn = t.mock.fn(addOne);
assert.strictEqual(fn(), 1);
fn.mock.mockImplementationOnce(addTwo);
assert.strictEqual(fn(), 3);
assert.strictEqual(fn(), 4);
});
ctx.restore()
Resets the implementation of the mock function to its original behavior. The mock can still be used after calling this function.
MockTracker
The MockTracker
class is used to manage mocking functionality. The test runner
module provides a top level mock
export which is a MockTracker
instance.
Each test also provides its own MockTracker
instance via the test context's
mock
property.
mock.fn([original[, implementation]][, options])
original
{Function|AsyncFunction} An optional function to create a mock on.
Default: A no-op function.implementation
{Function|AsyncFunction} An optional function used as the
mock implementation for original
. This is useful for creating mocks that
exhibit one behavior for a specified number of calls and then restore the
behavior of original
. Default: The function specified by original
.options
{Object} Optional configuration options for the mock function. The
following properties are supported:
times
{integer} The number of times that the mock will use the behavior of
implementation
. Once the mock function has been called times
times, it
will automatically restore the behavior of original
. This value must be an
integer greater than zero. Default: Infinity
.mock
property, which is an instance of MockFunctionContext
, and can
be used for inspecting and changing the behavior of the mocked function.This function is used to create a mock function.
The following example creates a mock function that increments a counter by one
on each invocation. The times
option is used to modify the mock behavior such
that the first two invocations add two to the counter instead of one.
test('mocks a counting function', (t) => {
let cnt = 0;
function addOne() {
cnt++;
return cnt;
}
function addTwo() {
cnt += 2;
return cnt;
}
const fn = t.mock.fn(addOne, addTwo, { times: 2 });
assert.strictEqual(fn(), 2);
assert.strictEqual(fn(), 4);
assert.strictEqual(fn(), 5);
assert.strictEqual(fn(), 6);
});
mock.getter(object, methodName[, implementation][, options])
This function is syntax sugar for MockTracker.method
with options.getter
set to true
.
mock.method(object, methodName[, implementation][, options])
object
{Object} The object whose method is being mocked.methodName
{string|symbol} The identifier of the method on object
to mock.
If object[methodName]
is not a function, an error is thrown.implementation
{Function|AsyncFunction} An optional function used as the
mock implementation for object[methodName]
. Default: The original method
specified by object[methodName]
.options
{Object} Optional configuration options for the mock method. The
following properties are supported:
getter
{boolean} If true
, object[methodName]
is treated as a getter.
This option cannot be used with the setter
option. Default: false.setter
{boolean} If true
, object[methodName]
is treated as a setter.
This option cannot be used with the getter
option. Default: false.times
{integer} The number of times that the mock will use the behavior of
implementation
. Once the mocked method has been called times
times, it
will automatically restore the original behavior. This value must be an
integer greater than zero. Default: Infinity
.mock
property, which is an instance of MockFunctionContext
, and can
be used for inspecting and changing the behavior of the mocked method.This function is used to create a mock on an existing object method. The following example demonstrates how a mock is created on an existing object method.
test('spies on an object method', (t) => {
const number = {
value: 5,
subtract(a) {
return this.value - a;
},
};
t.mock.method(number, 'subtract');
assert.strictEqual(number.subtract.mock.calls.length, 0);
assert.strictEqual(number.subtract(3), 2);
assert.strictEqual(number.subtract.mock.calls.length, 1);
const call = number.subtract.mock.calls[0];
assert.deepStrictEqual(call.arguments, [3]);
assert.strictEqual(call.result, 2);
assert.strictEqual(call.error, undefined);
assert.strictEqual(call.target, undefined);
assert.strictEqual(call.this, number);
});
mock.reset()
This function restores the default behavior of all mocks that were previously
created by this MockTracker
and disassociates the mocks from the
MockTracker
instance. Once disassociated, the mocks can still be used, but the
MockTracker
instance can no longer be used to reset their behavior or
otherwise interact with them.
After each test completes, this function is called on the test context's
MockTracker
. If the global MockTracker
is used extensively, calling this
function manually is recommended.
mock.restoreAll()
This function restores the default behavior of all mocks that were previously
created by this MockTracker
. Unlike mock.reset()
, mock.restoreAll()
does
not disassociate the mocks from the MockTracker
instance.
mock.setter(object, methodName[, implementation][, options])
This function is syntax sugar for MockTracker.method
with options.setter
set to true
.
