# Ristretto
Ristretto is an extensible test runner.
There are several established test runners in the JavaScript ecosystem
([Mocha](https://mochajs.org/), [Jasmine](https://jasmine.github.io/) and
[Jest](https://facebook.github.io/jest/) to name a few of the more prominent
ones). Ristretto was created to address a feature sweet spot left unaddressed
by incumbent projects.Ristretto has the following qualities:
- Simple, concise, class-based factorization
- Consumable as modules with browser-compatible path specifiers OOB
- Batteries included for the most popular testing syntaxes (BDD/TDD)
- Designed for extensibility (mixins, specialized reporters and a
spec-as-data-structure philosophy)
- Ships with mixins that enhance specs with powerful features (e.g., fixtures
and test isolation)
- Authored in TypeScript
- No build tooling required to use
- "JavaScript is the native language, The Web is the native land"Ristretto is intended to be a single-responsibility detail of a broader, more
comprehensive testing regime. In this regard, it is most similar to Mocha in its
breadth of capabilities.Currently, Ristretto only supports direct usage in a web browser with ESM
support. Other browsers and platforms (such as Node.js) should work fine with
sufficient code transformations applied to this module.## Installing
```sh
npm install @polymer/ristretto
```## Writing tests
All tests start with crafting a spec and exporting that spec for consumption
elsewhere. Here is an example of a spec written with Ristretto:```javascript
// Import the Spec class from Ristretto:
import { Spec } from '../../@polymer/ristretto/lib/spec.js';// Create a Spec instance that represents our spec:
const spec = new Spec();// These "describe" and "it" methods work as you would expect when writing
// a test in Mocha, Jasmine or Jest:
const { describe, it } = spec;// Author your spec as you would in any other test runner:
describe('My spec', () => {
it('never fails', () => {});
});// Export the spec as a module:
export { spec as mySpec };
```## Running tests
In order to run the tests in your spec, you will need to craft a test suite.
A test suite is a collection of specs, and an optional specialized test
reporter. Here is a basic example of crafting a test suite and running tests:```javascript
// Import the Suite class from Ristretto:
import { Suite } from '../../@polymer/ristretto/lib/suite.js';// Import the spec we crafted above:
import { mySpec } from './my-spec.js';// Craft a suite that includes our spec:
const suite = new Suite([ mySpec /*, other, specs, go, here */ ]);// Run the test suite at your leisure. It will return a promise that resolves
// when all tests have been run:
suite.run();
```## Reporting results
By default, Ristretto will use a basic `console`-based reporter called
`ConsoleReporter`. However, it is very easy to craft a custom reporter to
suite your needs. Let's write a custom reporter that counts tests and
reports how many failed at the end of the test suite run:```javascript
// Import the base Reporter class from Ristretto:
import { Reporter } from '../../@polymer/ristretto/lib/reporter.js';// We export a class that extends the base Reporter class. The reporter has
// a series of test suite life-cycle callbacks that can be optionally
// implemented by child classes to perform specialized reporting. We implement
// a few of them here:
export class CountingReporter extends Reporter {onSuiteStart(suite) {
// Initialize some state when the test suite begins:
this.totalTestCount = 0;
this.failedTestCount = 0;
}onTestStart(test, suite) {
// When a test starts, increment the total test counter:
this.totalTestCount++;
}onTestEnd(result, test, suite) {
// If there is an error in the result when a test ends, increment the
// failed test counter:
if (result.error) {
this.failedTestCount++;
}
}onSuiteEnd(suite) {
// When the test suite run has completed, announce the total number of
// tests, and if there were any failed tests announce that number as well:
console.log(`Total tests: ${this.totalTestCount}`);
if (this.failedTestCount > 0) {
console.error(`Failed tests: ${this.failedTestCount}`);
} else {
console.log('All tests pass!');
}
}
}
```Now that we have a custom reporter, let's use it in a test suite:
```javascript
// Import the Suite class from Ristretto:
import { Suite } from '../../@polymer/ristretto/lib/suite.js';// Import the custom reporter we created:
import { CountingReporter } from './counting-reporter.js';// Craft a suite that includes any specs and our custom reporter:
const suite = new Suite([ /* specs, go, here */ ], new CountingReporter());// Run the test suite at your leisure. The suite will invoke reporter callbacks
// is testing progresses to completion:
suite.run();
```
