**Blazing fast smart contract testing.** One-line setup for an awesome testing experience.

- Near-instant start up: have your code running in under 2s after typing `npm test`.
- Test runner agnostic – from the familiarity of Mocha, to [_parallel tests_](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/test-environment/choosing-a-test-runner#parallel-tests) using Jest or Ava!
- Non-opinionated: use either [`@truffle/contract`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@truffle/contract) or [`web3-eth-contract`](https://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/v1.2.0/web3-eth-contract.html) as you see fit.
- First class support for the [OpenZeppelin Test Helpers](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/test-helpers).
- Highly configurable: from gas limit and initial balance, to complex custom web3 providers.
- No global variables, no hacks.

_`test-environment` is the result of our learnings while developing the [OpenZeppelin Contracts](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/contracts), combining best practices and the tools we've come to rely on over the years. We think you'll love it!_

## Overview

### Installation

```bash
npm install --save-dev @openzeppelin/test-environment
```

### Usage

By including `require('@openzeppelin/test-environment')` in your test files, a local [ganache-powered blockchain](https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache-core) with unlocked accounts will be spun up, and all tools configured to work with it.

Here's a quick sample of how using `test-environment` in a [Mocha](https://mochajs.org/) + [Chai](https://www.chaijs.com/) setup looks like.

```javascript
const { accounts, contract } = require('@openzeppelin/test-environment');
const [ owner ] = accounts;

const { expect } = require('chai');

const MyContract = contract.fromArtifact('MyContract'); // Loads a compiled contract

describe('MyContract', function () {
it('deployer is owner', async function () {
const myContract = await MyContract.new({ from: owner });
expect(await myContract.owner()).to.equal(owner);
});
});
```

If you're used to `truffle test`, this probably looks very familiar. Follow our guide on [migrating from Truffle](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/test-environment/migrating-from-truffle) to have your project running with `test-environment` in a breeze!

_Note: if you'd rather not rely on truffle contracts and use web3 contract types directly, worry not: you can [configure `test-environment`](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/test-environment/getting-started#configuration) to use the `web3-eth-contract` abstraction._
