Suman has some hidden/secret features that will be helpful to know about
Did you know that in callback mode, t is a function?
this.it.cb('whoa', t => {
assert.equal(typeof t,'function'); // true
assert(t instanceof Function); // true
});the reason for this is to support direct/automatic conversion from Mocha, so that you can still do things like:
function helper(cb){
if(!condition){
cb(new Error('data is not defined');
}
else{
... do something else
}
});
this.it('whoa', helper);or more complexly:
function helper(data, cb){
if(!data){
cb(new Error('data is not defined');
}
else{
... do something with data
}
});
this.it('whoa', helper.bind(this, 'some data'));or if you think .bind() is ugly and inexplicit like me, do it like so:
function makeHelper(data){
return function helper(cb){
if(!data){
cb(new Error('data is not defined');
}
else{
... do something with data
}
});
}
this.it('whoa', makeHelper(data));as you can see helper.bind(null, 'some data') returns a new function that simple takes one argument => an error-first callback.
and it turns out that t is simply an error-first callback!
Did you know, you can run all your tests in a single Node.js process if you want .
use export SUMAN_SINGLE_PROCESS=yes
Did you know, you can force Suman to make everything run in parallel or series with these environment variables?
export SUMAN_FORCE_SERIES=yes
export SUMAN_FORCE_PARALLEL=yeswhat these do is make all hooks and test cases run in series, or parallel, without you having to change your code. If your code runs cleanly in parallel, that is a good sign.
