testing-nestjs VS ogma

To echo the other's here, Nx has been an amazing dev experience for me! I use it for ogma, for nest-commander, testing-nestjs, and for nest-samples and @nest-lab/, all using pnpm as a package manager.

The prisma sample app in the testing-nestjs repository does a great job on showing how to do testing a NestJS app with Prisma.

Example https://github.com/jmcdo29/testing-nestjs/blob/8519ae7043d1dde5ae12a5d8f8ab02ea3c3c2fcf/apps/complex-sample/src/cat/cat.interceptor.spec.ts

Question: for your e2e tests will you be using something like supertestto send the gql request? And if so, could I suggest you look at pactum which (in my opinion) has a stronger API and better gql support. I've got an example here if you need it

Test files usually shouldn't be too large. You should just need a simple mock for each injected dependency for the service. You can see a lot of examples I have here. If you could show your test file it may help us figure out why it might be really large.

Then there's also a @nestjs/testing package that can be used for overriding these injections during tests to make for super easy unit testing (in my opinion) and a large repo of examples here.

Why not use a dedicated logging library, like ogma or pino?

This absolutely isn't true. I'm both on the core team and a maintainer of several open source modules for Nest (nest-commander for CLI creation, ogma my own logger that has a really powerful interceptor, nestjs-spelunker which can print out an object representation of your Nest application and help with module debugging for dependency resolution, and a few more). The command module is even featured in the docs.

Overall, I'm pretty excited to have this flow automated and working through three of my favorite package management tools. Everything will also work if you're using a yarn workspace instead, just change the sed script to modify the workspace file for yarn instead of the one for pnpm. I'm currently using this for my ogma and nest-commander repositories, feel free to have a look if you need some inspiration and/or real life examples. If you're developing packages and using an Nx workspace and need automated package deployment, give this a shot.
