This module provides methods to aid in testing your Node.js apps.

It's already global. You don't need to do anything. It's nice to help debug some output as it modifies the string prototype.

shelljs

var shell = require('testutil').shelljs

Usage

var testutil = require('testutil')

Module Methods

createTestDir(app)

Synchronously creates a test directory and returns the path. Deletes the directory if it exists and recreates it.

var dirPath = testutil.createTestDir('myapp');

e.g. /tmp/test-myapp

fetchTestFiles(dirPath, callback)

Asynchronously fetches all of the files in a specified directory that end in .test.coffee or .test.js.

testutil.fetchTestFiles('test/', function(files) {
// do something with test files
});

You might use this in conjunction with Mocha.

md5(data)

Synchronously calculates the md5 of the data.
