how to run the prova test suite?

[Chris Anderson]

When I run:

git clone https://github.com/azer/prova.git
cd prova
npm install
npm test

I get this output:

> prova@1.14.3 test /Users/jchris/code/js/prova
> node test.js


module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^

    at startup (node.js:119:16)
    at node.js:906:3
npm ERR! Test failed.  See above for more details.

When I run prova from inside my working directory, I get:

    assert object
    should be equal /Users/jchris/code/js/prova/test/index.js
                    v
        4.   assert.plan(4);
        5.   assert.equal(3.15, 3.14);
        6.   assert.ok(true);
                    ^

        Expected: 3.14
        Actual:   3.15




    1 failed, 3 passed assertions.

Which doesn't seem like it's running all the tests in test/

And when I run prova -b I get a browser window with that same output (only the one failing test).

Is this the expected behavior? I'd like to be using prova heavily on a project but without a test suite, I don't know where to start on fixing little bugs I find with it.

Thanks for any pointers!

looks like I accidentally committed that line failing 3.14 != 3.15

Now when I run the above sequence ending in npm test I get the following result. I would love to contribute to prova (I especially want to be able to use it as part of a gulp toolchain, but I imagine the path to get there will touch on lots of little things.)

I don't feel comfortable cracking open the source code until I know I won't break existing behavior.

$ npm test

I updated the npm test command, should work now
