SvelteKit uvu Testing: Fast Component Unit Tests
Most important here is not to forget to include test.run() at the end… I’ve done that a few times 😅. Notice how we are able to use aliases in lines 1–3. You can see the full range of assert methods available in the uvu docs.

Creating a Chai like assertion library using proxies
For the past few weeks I’ve taken the (arguably pointless) work of migrating Felte from using Jest to uvu. This is a really tedious work by itself, but one of details that would have made this work even more tedious is that Jest prefers assertions to the style of expect(…).toBe* while uvu gives you freedom to choose any assertion library, although there’s an official uvu/assert module that comes with assertions to the style of assert.is(value, expected).

Test Coverage in Svelte
Hello everyone, I'm using uvu for testing. And installed c8 for coverage. Yet it doesn't seem to be able to pick up test .svelte files. Does anyone knows how to achieve this or any other way of getting .svelte files coverage? Thanks

Chaijs.com just let their domain expire
I really enjoy Ava [1] or anything assert-tape-like [2]. "uvu" [3] is getting a lot of love lately, but it's very feature limited and much of it's touted advantages are at the detriment to feature set.

Jest is great for front-end (or full stack integration) testing, but I feel it's specialized for that use-case and doesn't always play nice with backend/middle-tier testing needs.

Why Jest is not for me
For Node, I lean towards UVU by @lukeed due to its simplicity. Its lightweight, fast, supports ESM out of the box. It feels like an easier to setup modern Mocha (without the wide array of plugins).

Unit Testing Expo Apps With Jest
console.error Jest encountered an unexpected token Jest failed to parse a file. This happens e.g. when your code or its dependencies use non-standard JavaScript syntax, or when Jest is not configured to support such syntax. Out of the box Jest supports Babel, which will be used to transform your files into valid JS based on your Babel configuration. By default "node\_modules" folder is ignored by transformers. Here's what you can do: • If you are trying to use ECMAScript Modules, see https://jestjs.io/docs/ecmascript-modules for how to enable it. • If you are trying to use TypeScript, see https://jestjs.io/docs/getting-started#using-typescript • To have some of your "node\_modules" files transformed, you can specify a custom "transformIgnorePatterns" in your config. • If you need a custom transformation specify a "transform" option in your config. • If you simply want to mock your non-JS modules (e.g. binary assets) you can stub them out with the "moduleNameMapper" config option. You'll find more details and examples of these config options in the docs: https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration For information about custom transformations, see: https://jestjs.io/docs/code-transformation
