Download and compile popular open source repos in order to compare new versions of the TypeScript compiler with the current version. For example, this project will clone the prettier repo and compile it with the current version of TypeScript. Then it will compile it with a version of TypeScript from a pull request. Afterward it will compile new errors that are issued only with the new version and post them as a comment on the pull request.
There is no comparison of types, errors, symbols or language service output.
To run online, you can
- Run the new error detector from Azure Pipelines to create a new issue on the TypeScript repository.
- Tag typescript-bot and write a comment of the form
@typescript-bot user test thison a pull request to get an inline report of new errors.
These commands can also be run locally.
# New Error Detector (a.k.a. "git tests")
node dist/checkGithubRepos.js [post-results] [repo-count] [repo-start-index] [old-ts-version-on-npm] [old-ts-version-on-npm]
# Inline User Test Reporter (a.k.a. "user tests")
node dist/checkUserTestRepos.js [post-results] [ts-repo-url] [head-ref] [requesting-user] [source-issue] [github-comment-id-for-updates] [query-repos-by-stars]
You can view example usage of these commands from how they're currently triggered on Azure Pipelines:
There are three kinds of user tests, all of which aim to use popular packages with different versions of TypeScript:
- Example projects, which specify a popular package in package.json and then provide an example use of it.
- Clones of a repo of a popular package, built with
tsc. - Clones of a repo of a popular package, built with a custom
bashscript.
Use userTests/axios as an example:
- Create a package.json with
axiosas a dependency. - Create an example program that uses
axios. In our case, just:- index.ts
- tsconfig.json
The example projects could be as large as a complete app as long as it compiles with a single invocation of tsc.
However, the current projects almost all consist of a single import, like import x = require('x').
This could obviously be improved.
Use userTests/axios-src as an example:
Create test.json like the following:
{
"cloneUrl": "https://github.com/axios/axios.git",
"types": ["node"]
}The types field is optional; it installs @types/ packages for each entry in its array before running tsc.
This is mostly useful if the package isn't written in TypeScript and doesn't include types in its own devDependencies.
Like the example projects, the cloned repos must be buildable with a single invocation of tsc.
Use userTests/azure-sdk as an example; create a script build.sh that:
- Clones a repo.
- Installs its dependencies.
- Alters its TypeScript dependency to use a custom TypeScript version.
- Builds the repo.
The details vary considerably from project to project. This kind of test allows you to build arbitrary projects.
