base-test-suite

library0.4.3jsnpmunverified

Test suite for base projects, providing shared unit tests for base, templates, and related frameworks (assemble, generate, verb). Version 0.4.3 is the latest stable release. It groups test filepaths by application category, allowing reuse across the ecosystem. Differentiators: avoids duplication of tests across projects that share a plugin system and conventions, with 1875+ tests covering common scenarios. Ideal for authors of base plugins or applications.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

suite

✓ const suite = require('base-test-suite');

✗ import suite from 'base-test-suite';

This package is CommonJS only and does not support ES modules.

suite.test.templates

✓ const suite = require('base-test-suite'); suite.test.templates

✗ suite.templates

Access test paths via the 'test' property; direct access misses the nesting.

require(file.path)(Constructor)

✓ require(file.path)(Templates);

✗ constructor = require(file.path); constructor(Templates);

Each test file exports a function that expects a constructor when called.

Shows how to set up and run the templates test suite using base-test-runner and yargs-parser.

const argv = require('yargs-parser')(process.argv.slice(2)); const runner = require('base-test-runner')(argv); const suite = require('base-test-suite'); runner.on('file', function(file) { require(file.path)(require('templates')); }); runner.addFiles(suite.test.templates); runner.run();

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe package is intended for base ecosystem projects and may not work standalone.

fix

Ensure you have the required base packages installed and are using with base-based projects.

affects: all

gotchaTest files expect a constructor to be passed; calling them incorrectly will error.

fix

Always call the test file-path function with a constructor (e.g., require('templates')).

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedThe project has low activity and may be in maintenance mode; no recent releases.

fix

Consider contributing or migrating to a more modern test framework if needed.

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: suite.test is undefined

The suite object does not have a 'test' property if the package is installed incorrectly or version is too old.

fix

Ensure you have installed base-test-suite version 0.4.3 or later and use the correct require path.

Error: Cannot find module 'base-test-runner'

The 'base-test-runner' package is not installed, but it's required to run the suite.

fix

Install base-test-runner: npm install base-test-runner --save-dev

Error: ... is not a constructor

The function exported by test file was called directly without a constructor.

fix

Call the function as require(file.path)(Constructor) where Constructor is a base application class.
