Expresso

TDD framework for nodejs. This module is no longer maintained by me, if you wish to maintain it let me know, otherwise use Mocha.

Features

• light-weight
• intuitive async support
• intuitive test runner executable
• test coverage support and reporting
• uses the assert module
• assert.eql() alias of assert.deepEqual()
• assert.response() http response utility
• assert.includes()
• assert.type()
• assert.isNull()
• assert.isUndefined()
• assert.isNotNull()
• assert.isDefined()
• assert.match()
• assert.length()

Installation

To install both expresso and node-jscoverage run:

$ make install

To install expresso alone (no build required) run:

$ make install-expresso

Install via npm:

$ npm install expresso

Usage

Create a directory named test in your project and place JavaScript files in it. Each JavaScript file can export multiple tests of this format:

exports['test String#length'] = function(beforeExit, assert) {
    assert.equal(6, 'foobar'.length);
};

To run tests, type expresso.
