Advanced tools
A Tape extension to use Testcheck with Tape.
To have access to the t.check method, you need to extend tape with the exported
check function.
import tape from 'tape';
import addAssertions from 'extend-tape';
import check from 'tape-testcheck';
// Add the `check` assertion
const test = addAssertions(tape, { check });
// Now you can test away
test('Something', t => {
t.check(...);
});
For convenience, the gen and sample methods are re-exported for usage with
your checks:
import tape from 'tape';
import addAssertions from 'extend-tape';
import check, { gen, sample } from 'tape-testcheck';
import tape from 'tape';
import addAssertions from 'extend-tape';
import check, { gen, sample } from 'tape-testcheck';
const test = addAssertions(tape, { check });
test('Something', t => {
t.check(
[gen.int],
num => typeof num === 'number',
'it works!'
);
});
# Outputs:
$ ok 1 it works!
import tape from 'tape';
import addAssertions from 'extend-tape';
import check, { gen, sample } from 'tape-testcheck';
const test = addAssertions(tape, { check });
test('Something', t => {
// with options
t.check(
[gen.int],
num => typeof num === 'number',
{ times: 10 },
'works with options'
);
});
# outputs
$ ok 1 works with options
import tape from 'tape';
import addAssertions from 'extend-tape';
import check, { gen, sample } from 'tape-testcheck';
const test = addAssertions(tape, { check });
test('Something', t => {
t.check(
[gen.int],
num => typeof num === 'string',
'it fails!'
);
});
# Outputs:
$ not ok 1 it fails!
