build-your-own-test-framework

This is the companion repository for the book Build Your Own Test Framework.

Each starting point consists of two directories: concise-test, which is an NPM package containing a test runner, and todo-example, which is an example project that has the first package as a dependency.

Getting started

The five steps are:

1. Upgrade to (or install) the latest Node version
2. Fork this repo and clone it to your local machine
3. Choose the chapter you wish to work on (e.g. Chapter01), and then which starting point you need. If you're working through the chapter then its Start, or if it's the Practical Exercises, use Exercises.
4. In a terminal, navigate to your starting point and follow the Link the projects instructions below.

Link the projects

The todo-example project makes use of this new library you'll be building, so we need to link the two so it can be accessed.

In a terminal, follow these instructions:

cd Chapter01/Start    # choose the starting point that you want
cd concise-test
npm link
cd ../todo-example
npm link concise-test

These instructions are also covered in Chapter 1 of the book.
