Vows skeleton test generator update

Blog ≫ 2013 ≫ Vows skeleton test generator update

Mon Jul 22

Updated my Vows skeleton test generator¹ for node.js so it now parses the original file looking for comments that say what the method should return, like phpunit does². For examples, see the source code³ and tests it creates⁴:

/**
 * @assert ( 'foo' ) === 'foo'
 * @assert ( 66 ) === '66'
 */

creates

vows.describe( 'skelgen' ).addBatch( {
  'skelgen.sanitise': {
    'handles good input': function ( ) {
      assert.deepEqual( skelgen.sanitise('foo'), 'foo' );
      assert.deepEqual( skelgen.sanitise(66), '66' );
    },
    'handles bad input': function ( ) {
      assert.doesNotThrow(
        function ( ) {
          skelgen.sanitise( 'foo' );
          skelgen.sanitise( 66 );
          skelgen.sanitise( undefined );
          skelgen.sanitise( null );
          skelgen.sanitise( [] );
          skelgen.sanitise( {} );
          skelgen.sanitise( new Date( ) );
        }
      );
    }
  }
} ).run( );

See the repo¹ for how to install it and use it.

All those links to twitter are not relevant, just something that coincidentally looks like a twitter account...

UPDATE: wow this is old I don't code like this any more, nor use Vows.
