CouchDB Harness

A generalized port of the CouchDB JavaScript test harness.

Install

npm install couchdb-harness

Usage

Command Line

To run the default configuration, you can simply type,

$ npm start

But the binary also accepts arguments to specify the port that the harness should run against, as well as which files to test:

./bin/couchdb-harness -p 5984 basics all_docs

Available options

• -b: bail (a flag)
• -a: address
• -p: port

All options are further described below.

Node.js

Examples

var harness = require('couchdb-harness');
harness.run(5984, ['basics', 'all_docs'], function (exitCode) {
  process.exit(exitCode);
});

var harness = require('couchdb-harness');
harness.run('http://192.168.1.31:5985/', {bail: true}, function (code) {
  process.exit(code);
})

API

harness.run([addr[, opts[, callback]]])

• addr: The address of the server with a CouchDB-style API to test. Defaults to "http://127.0.0.1:5984/". If the server you want to test runs on localhost and you just want to change the port, you can also just pass in the port number instead.
• opts: Either an array of tests as demonstrated in the first example, or a JavaScript object with the following (optional) properties:
  • tests: The aforementioned array of tests. Defaults to all the test files.
  • bail: When true, couchdb-harness will stop running on the first failure it encounters. This does not have any influence on the exitCode. One failure is still enough to make it non-zero. Defaults to false.
  • callback: Called when done running the tests. Gets one argument: the exit code. It's zero when the tests all passed, otherwise non-zero.
