Painless CLI integration testing
We use Jest Framework for testing. Jest is not a dogma, and, of course, in its place can be any other test runner, such as Mocha or Ava. Let's focus on tests. I'll provide a short example because I don’t want to waste your time. You can find the full version here. It's crucial to read the comments in the code below. Let's go!

Hands-On Hardhat Part-1
These options totally depend on your requirements. For example an empty hardhat option is a very basic project sample if you need more libraries, plugins or you use Typescript later, you have to add them manually. Like @nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle , [ethereum-waffle](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ethereum-waffle), chai , @nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers , ethers , [@openzeppelin/contracts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openzeppelin/contracts) Because, they'll allow us to interact with Ethereum and to test our contracts.

It'd be hard for me to imagine what would it be like back then to write tests if it wasn't for Enzyme. Even with Enzyme, it was noticeably harder than it is today, and I still vividly remember installing and configuring in my project Mocha, Chai, Sinon, and JSDOM, to get pretty much the same tooling that today a single library - Jest - provides out of the box, while adding numerous features on top of that.
