tape-async

A lite wrapper around tape to simplify async testing.

npm install -D tape-async

Use with async-await

const test = require('tape-async');
const sleep = require('sleep-promise');

test('this test will successfully pass', async (t) => {
  await sleep(100);
  const a = await Promise.resolve(42);
  t.equal(a, 42);
});

tape-async supports future ES async-await syntax. You are in charge to provide traspilation of your test code.

Use with generators

const test = require('tape-async');
const sleep = require('sleep-promise');

test('this test will successfully pass', function *(t) {
  const result = yield Promise.resolve(42);
  t.equal(result, 42);
});

tape-async supports generators test to handle async code. They run using co.

It catch unhandled errors

const test = require('tape-async');
test('this test will fail', () => {
  setTimeout(()=>{
    throw new Error('unhandled');
  }, 100);
});

Unhandled errors in your tests are automatically covered. Test suite fails with a generic error message and a stack trace.

It catch unhandled Promise rejections

const test = require('tape-async');
test('this test will fail', () => {
  Promise.reject(new Error('unhandled'));
});

Uncatched Promise rejection in your tests are automatically covered. Test suite fails with a generic error message and a stack trace.

It support every tape features.

const test = require('tape-async');
test.skip('this test will be skipped', () => {

});

test.only('this test will be the only one', t => {
  t.equal(42, 42);
  t.end();
});

Since this is only a tiny wrapper around tape, you can use every feature you are used to.
