ATape.js test runner and watcher for modern JavaScript. Works with both ES modules and CommonJS.

• runs ES module tests
• runs tests in parallel for speed
• uses sensible defaults
• works withtype: module packages

Note: Since this is an ES package, it requires Node >= v14.x

tape-es [pattern] -i [pattern] -r [path] -t [number]

• [pattern] - the file matcher pattern (default**/*.spec.js)
• -i |--ignore - the ignore matcher pattern (default**/node_modules/**)
• -r |--root - the root path to run the tests from (defaultprocess.cwd())
• -t |--threads - Number of threads to run concurrently (default10)

Use the defaults

tape-es

Specify custom parameters

tape-es"**/*.spec.js" -i"node_modules/**" -r ../absurdum/ -t 20

Note: In Linux/OSX the matcher patterns must be delimited in quotes.

tape-es [pattern] -i [pattern] -r [path]

• [pattern] - the file matcher pattern (default**/*.spec.js)
• -i |--ignore - the ignore matcher pattern (default**/node_modules/**)
• -r |--root - the root path to run the tests from (defaultprocess.cwd())

tape-watch-es

Specify custom parameters

Tests are identical to Tape.js, exceptimport is used to load modules rather than require.

importtestfrom'tape';import{arrays}from'../../index.js';test('arrays.chunk(array) - should return a chunk for each item in the array',t=>{// ...test code});

One of the greatest advantages to using Tape, is that it outputs results in the standardTAP format. That means you can pipe the results into a wide array of TAP reporters.

The parallel nature of this runner will break most reporters. As a General rule.

1. if you want speed (ie CI/CD) don't use a reporter
2. if you want speed and readability usetap-spec
3. if you want to use any reporter, run tests in parallel withtape-es -t 1
