A Complex Case

Imagine these steps to perform a test:

1. Perform Unit Tests suite in parallel
2. Clear and Populate the Database
3. Check for Expected Successes Integration suite sequentially
4. Clear and Populate the Database — again
5. Check for Expected Failures Integration suite sequentially

Requirements:

Each step requires success to be processed.

Directory Structure:

├── .
├── test
│ ├── unit
│ ├── integration
│ │ ├── successes
│ │ │ └── **/.spec.js
│ │ └── failures
│ │   └── **/.spec.js
│ ├─ run.test.js # The runner
│ ├─ tools.test.js

Do we really need to complicate things even more by creating advanced tests runs to run our already complex tests? 😅

Poku's Solution ✨

import { poku, assert } from 'poku';
import { recreateDatabase } from './tools.test.js';

const unitCode = await poku('test/unit', {
  noExit: true,
});

assert.strictEqual(0, unitCode, 'Running Unit Tests');

await assert.doesNotReject(
  recreateDatabase(),
  'Preparing DB for Successes Integration Tests'
);

const successesCode = await poku('test/integration/successes', {
  noExit: true,
});

assert.strictEqual(0, successesCode, 'Running Successes Integration Tests');

await assert.doesNotReject(
  recreateDatabase(),
  'Preparing DB for Successes Integration Tests'
);

const failuresCode = await poku('test/integration/failures', {
  noExit: true,
});

assert.strictEqual(0, failuresCode, 'Running Failures Integration Tests');

Why comment the code if we can do it better? 🧙🏻

Finally

npx poku test/run.test.js

Or npx poku test/run.test.ts for TypeScript.
