Deno 2.2 Improves Dependency Management and Expands Node.js Compatibility
Deno 2.2 enhances Node.js compatibility, improves dependency management, adds OpenTelemetry support, and expands linting and task automation for developers.
node-expect
Advanced tools
A stream based Expect utility for interacting with streams.
var Expect = require('node-expect');
var socket = new require('net').Socket({type:'tcp4'});
var parser = new Expect();
var p = new promise();
parser.conversation(/connect/i) // Start a conversation matching the connection text from the telnet server in the stream as the trigger.
.sync() // The expect rules are synchronous, and run in order.
.expect(/login/i) // First expect rule matches the login prompt.
.send("myuser\n") // Send user login ID.
.expect(/password/) // We are expecting a password prompt next.
.send("mypassword\n") // Now send the password.
.branch(/denied/i) // Branch is a special expect rule, where it will test all consecutive branch definitions to decide which match to follow.
// This is handy when you want to run rules synchronously but have a section of async rules run as one synchronous rule.
.reset() // Reset will reset the current conversation thread so that it is as if the first expect in this conversation never started.
// This allows you to restart conversation matching on a synchronous rule set without needing to match the conversation trigger.
.branch(/\$ /) // Another branch to match.
.push() // Push match back into the stream. The end result is that the next conversation will pick up the match since we are ending this one.
.emit('connected') // Emit an event named "connected". Other parts of the program can k
.handler(p.fulfil) // Call the fulfil function of the promise.
.end() // End this conversation.
.conversation(/\$ /) // Start this conversation on a shell prompt. This conversation won't be synchronous.
.expect(null,true) // Don't expect anything. The conversation trigger is enough. Just do the action. Then consume this rule, not to run again.
.send("echo 'I win!'\n")
.expect(/\$ /) // Expecting the prompt again.
.send("exit")
.expect(/closed/i)
.handler( // Call an anonymous handler
function(){
socket.destroy();// Be sure to destroy the socket so node isn't left hanging.
});
.end() // End this conversation.
.monitor(socket); // Monitor the socket for input. Also, uses the socket as its output.
socket.connect(23,'127.0.0.1');
p.when(function() {
console.log('We logged in!');
});
Clone this repository into your node_modules directory.
or -
$ npm install node-expect
Expect = require('node-expect');
parser = new Expect();
Constructing a new Expect() object returns a parser object that is used to start building a set of conversations.
