cases

cases

cases provides parameterized unit tests for Mocha.

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to contact me using @goloroden on Twitter.

Installation

$ npm install cases

Quick Start

Using cases is easy. All you need to do is to add a reference to it within your Node.js application:

var cases = require('cases');

Now you can write your tests using Mocha as usual, but you may introduce cases for tests where you need multiple test cases.

test('add returns the sum.', cases([
  [ 23, 42, 65 ],
  [ 12, 17, 29 ]
], function (first, second, expected) {
  var actual = add(first, second);
  assert.that(actual, is.equalTo(expected));
}));

This also works with asynchronous tests. The only difference is that you additionally need to provide the done parameter to your test function.

test('addAsync returns the sum.', cases([
  [ 23, 42, 65 ],
  [ 12, 17, 29 ]
], function (first, second, expected, done) {
  addAsync(first, second, function (actual) {
    assert.that(actual, is.equalTo(expected));
    done();
  });
}));

Running the tests

cases has been developed using TDD. To run the tests, go to the folder where you have installed cases to and run npm test. You need to have mocha installed.

$ npm test

Additionally, this module can be built using Grunt. Besides running the tests, Grunt also analyses the code using JSHint. To run Grunt, go to the folder where you have installed cases and run grunt. You need to have grunt-cli installed.

$ grunt
