power-assert instrumentor for TypeScript

espower-typescript v10.x is compatible with TypeScript v2.7+

Install

$ npm install -D espower-typescript power-assert mocha typescript @types/node @types/mocha

Create a test file (intensionally failed)

// test/test.ts
import assert = require('assert');
describe('Array#join', () => {
  it('joins all elements into a string with separator', () => {
    assert(['a', 'b', 'c'].join(':') === 'a:b:c:');
  });
});

Run test

$ ./node_modules/.bin/mocha --require espower-typescript/guess "test/**/*.ts"

Output

  1) Array#join
       joins all elements into a string with separator:
      AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]:   # test.ts:6
  assert(['a','b','c'].join(':') === 'a:b:c:')
         |             |         |
         ["a","b","c"] "a:b:c"   false

Just use old style import assert = require('assert') for assert module. This is limitation.

You can set test directory in your package.json

{
    "name": "your-module",
    "description": "Your module",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "directories": {
        "test": "spec/"
    },
...
}

Then, run mocha with --require espower-typescript/guess

$ ./node_modules/.bin/mocha --require espower-typescript/guess "spec/**/*.ts"

Note: 'espower-typescript/guess' is inspired by intelli-espower-loader

espower-typescript uses ts-node internally. It loads your tsconfig.json automatically.

Use TS_NODE_TRANSPILE_ONLY env of ts-node

$ TS_NODE_TRANSPILE_ONLY=1 ./node_modules/.bin/mocha --require espower-typescript/guess "test/**/*.ts"

.tsx files are supported.

If allowJs: true in your tsconfig.json, assertions in test/**/*.(js|jsx) are empowered.
