Wed Jul 17

I'm using vows at work to test our nodejs and I keep finding myself writing the same repetitive tests when I create a new method, to test that bad input won't bring the whole system down. So I automated it¹!

Now I run

node skelgen.js input-file.js > test-file.js

and my test file is created for me. I've just updated this today so that skelgen.js tests itself (and yes it does pass)

node skelgen.js input-file.js | node

More details¹ (though not many more, it is very simple) on the repo¹.

Removed old github.com/pauly/vows-skelgen link here.

Node: Js (programming language of the web) on the server side.
