ava v3.8.1 Release Notes
Release Date: 2020-04-26 // almost 4 years ago-
๐ Node.js 14 support
๐ Great news, this is a feature heavy release!
๐ First off, though, AVA now officially supports Node.js 14. Thank you @zackschuster! 2e7c76b
โ Run tests at specific line numbers
๐ฑ AVA can now run tests at specific line numbers! ๐
โ Given the following test file:
โ
test.js
1: test('unicorn', t =\> {2:t.pass();3: });4:5: test('rainbow', t =\> {6:t.fail();7: });
โ Running
npx ava test.js:2
for would run theunicorn
test. In fact you could use any line number between1
and3
.๐ This feature is only available from the command line. It won't work if you use tools like
ts-node/register
or@babel/register
, and it does not currently work with@ava/babel
and@ava/typescript
. See #2473.Thank you @ulken for your hard work and patience to get this shipped. 1222ce9
โ Test-specific teardown functions
Sometimes tests have side-effects you want to clean up. @ulken has implemented
t.teardown()
which lets you register teardown functions within your test. They'll run once your test has finished, even if it failed: 75cbc3btest('read file', t => { fs.writeFileSync('file.txt', '๐'); t.teardown(() => fs.unlinkSync('file.txt'); // Run assertions });
Node.js internal in stack traces
๐ Thanks to @bunysae, stack traces now include Node.js internals. Previously we removed them because we wanted you to focus on your own code, but quite often they do provide context. Now they're displayed, but somewhat dimmed. 9a9351d
0๏ธโฃ Watch mode with the default reporter
0๏ธโฃ Watch mode with the default reporter once again accepts key input. Thanks @pcdevil! 59c227d

โ
afterEach()
andafterEach.always()
hooks can now determine whether the test passed. Thank you @bunysae for contributing this! 8f312c0test('passes', t =\> t.pass()); test.afterEach(t =\> { if (t.passed) { // Do something because the test passed } else { // Do something because the test failed } });
โ If you've ever wanted to save some files along with AVA's snapshots, you can now determine the directory path by accessing
test.meta.snapshotDirectory
. Thank you @ulken! cb5f9f7All changes
