NAME
tape — tap-producing test harness for node and browsers
SYNOPSIS
tape [-r module] [file] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
tape is a tap-producing test harness for node and browsers requiring only
a few line of code. It can be used for unit and integration testing.
tape will execute test described by file option. File are interpreted us-
ing glob module by default. You may therefore need to quote file in order
to avoid globbing by shell. Tests are written in pure javascript, so
tests could be run using Node.js.
OPTIONS
-r, --require
load one or more modules before running any tests. Please note
that all modules loaded using the -r flag will run before any
tests, regardless of when they are specified. For example, tape
-r a b -r c will actually load a and c before loading b, since
they are flagged as required modules.
-i, --ignore
ignore tests from certain folders and/or files are not intended
to be run. It defaults to `.gitignore` file when passed with no
argument. For example:
tape -i .ignore **/*.js`
--no-only
This is particularly useful in a CI environment where an "only
test" is not supposed to go unnoticed. By passing the `--no-
only` flag, any existing "only test" causes tests to fail:
tape --no-only **/*.js`
Alternatively, the environment variable `NODE_TAPE_NO_ONLY_TEST`
can be set to `true` to achieve the same behavior; the command-
line flag takes precedence.
METHODS
The assertion methods in `tape` are heavily influenced or copied from the
methods in node-tap.
var test = require('tape')
EXAMPLES
tape 'tests/**/*.js'
tape -r './my/local/module' 'tests/**/*.js'
tape -r 'babel-register' 'tests/**/*.js'
