flip-tape

Write eloquent tests: 'Tautology'.equals(true, true)

More specific: flip-tape adds 'Two is less than three'.ok(2 < 3) syntax to tape plus two further callback-executing methods. Original functionality is kept.

npm install flip-tape

Usage

var test = require('flip-tape')

test('Regular tape assertion group', t => {
  t.plan(4)
  t.ok(2 < 3, 'Regular tape syntax works as expected.')

  // This is new:
  'Two is less than three'.ok(2 < 3)
  'Five equals five'.equals(5, 5)

  'This string becomes a tape comment'.t(t => {
    t.notOk(2 > 3, 'And both syntax types...')
    '... still work'.notOk(2 > 3)
  })
})

'You can also start a group of assertions this way...'.test(t => {
  t.plan(1)
  '... and everything works as expected!'.pass()
})

All of tapes methods that print out msg to the command-line are usable with the flipped syntax.

API

var test = require('flip-tape')

Attaches all tape-methods that print out to the command-line plus the .t() and .test() methods to the String prototype.

'[message]'.test([opt], cb), '[message]'.only([opt], cb)

Calls the respective tape method: .test or .only.

'[message]'.t(cb)

A tape comment containing the message is added. Then cb(t) gets called with the test object t.

'[message]'.tapeTestMethodName([actual, fn], [expected])

Calls the according tape method relaying the message string and the optional parameters.
