Orange

Orange is a testing framework for Deno. It was originally created for Mandarine Framework but it can be used in different projects no mandarine-related.

Decorator-driven

Orange uses decorator as its modality to declare tests. The reason behind this is to be as similar as the internal functionalities of Mandarine thus providing readability & reducing the lines of codes.

Deno & Orange

Under the hood, Orange uses the Deno API, although, it is required to use a tsconfig.json file.

tsconfig.json

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "strict": false,
        "noImplicitAny": false,
        "noImplicitThis": false,
        "alwaysStrict": false,
        "strictNullChecks": false,
        "strictFunctionTypes": true,
        "strictPropertyInitialization": false,
        "experimentalDecorators": true,
        "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
        "allowUmdGlobalAccess": false,
    }
}

Running

• All tests

$ deno test --config tsconfig.json --allow-run --allow-read --allow-write

• Specific test file

deno test --config tsconfig.json --allow-run --allow-read --allow-write myTestFile.ts

For more information, visit the official Deno testing API documentation

Orange usage

In Orange, everything is a test suite, this means, all your tests will be located under a class, the methods of that class decorated with the decorator @Test will be considered a test.

@Test Decorator

The @Test decorator as mentioned before handles the creation of the proxy between the Orange's core and the Deno API. Syntax:

@Test(options: Orange.TestOptions)

Orange.TestOptions:

• name
  • Name of the test to run
  • Default: Name of method
• description
  • Descriptive information of the test to run
• ignore
  • condition when to ignore the test
  • Default: false

Example

import { Test, Orange } from "https://x.nest.land/Orange@0.2.5/mod.ts";

export class Tests {

    @Test({ name: "Should fail", description: "Just a test" })
    public myTest() {
        throw new Error("There was an error processing this test. Try again");
    }

    // Will be executed asynchronously as Deno supports the keyword `async` for testing.
    @Test({
        name: "Should pass"
    })
    public async mytest2() {
        return true;
    }
}

deno test --config tsconfig.json --allow-run --allow-read --allow-write

Result

running 2 tests
test 
            [Should fail] ... 
                [Just a test] 
                    [myTest()] ... = FAILED (101ms)
test 
            [Should pass] ... 
                [mytest2()] ... = ok (28ms)

failures:
            [Should fail]

test result: FAILED. 1 passed; 1 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out (129ms)

Setting a Test Suite Configuration

Orange lets you set a custom configuration to your test suite such as its name, whether ignore the whole test suite under a condition, or whether it should be count for the final report. You can set your custom configuration by adding using Orange.setOptions in the constructor of your test suite. Syntax: Orange.setOptions(testInstance: any, options: Orange.Options) Orange.Options:

• testSuiteName
  • Name of the test suite to run
  • Default: Name of the class
• ignore
  • Conditional to decide whether the whole test suite should be ignored
  • Default: false
• generateReport
  • Conditional to decide whether the test suite results should be added to the final report file
  • Default: true
• hooks
  • beforeAll: Function
    • Hook to be executed before all tests
  • afterAll: Function
    • Hook to be executed after all tests
  • beforeEach: Function
    • Hook to be executed before each test
  • afterEach: Function
    • Hook to be executed after each test

export class Tests {

    constructor() {
        Orange.setOptions(this, {
            testSuiteName: "My set of tests",
            ignore: false,
            generateReport: true
        })
    }
}

Hooks

Orange allows you the use of testing hooks. Testing hooks are actions that can be executed before all tests, after all tests, after each test or before each test. Note that hooks must not be asynchronous.
In order to use hooks, as shown above, they are part of the test suite configuration which means we configure them in our constructor by calling Orange.setOptions.

export class Tests {

    constructor() {
        Orange.setOptions(this, {
            testSuiteName: "My set of tests",
            ignore: false,
            generateReport: true,
            hooks: {
                beforeAll: () => console.log("Before all"),
                afterAll: () => console.log("After all"),
                beforeEach: () => console.log("Before each"),
                afterEach: () => console.log("After each")
            }
        })
    }
}

Orange Configuration

By creating a file called orange-test.json you can decide some of the behaviors Orange uses under the hood. orange-test.json must contain a json which must follow Orange.Core.OrangeConfiguration Orange.Core.OrangeConfiguration:

• testsFolder: string
  • Directory where the results of the tests will be created
    • Use [date] to attach yyyy-mm-dd to the folder's name.
    • Use [timestamp] to attach the timestamp to the folder's name
    • Example: "./tests/[date]/[timestamp]/"
• showExceptions: boolean
  • Whether stacktraces of failed tests should be shown when running deno test

// ./orange-test.json
{
    "testsFolder": "./tests/",
    "showExceptions": false
}

Orange results

After running deno test, Orange will generate a .txt file with the results of your tests in a table.
Note: If no orange-test.json is defined, Orange will generate the output in ./tests/[date]/test-results.txt.
