AVA test runner

Visual Studio Code extension for running AVA (https://github.com/avajs/ava) tests.

Features

• Running all tests in the active editor
• Running single test using shortcut (test is automatically found using the cursor position)
• Running a single test using CodeLenses
• Debugging single test using CodeLenses

Configuration

• ava.directoryReplaceFrom
• ava.directoryReplaceTo
• ava.extensionReplaceFrom
• ava.extensionReplaceTo

You may wonder why do we even need these properties. By default, they can be empty. It was added mainly to handle the case when tests are written using TypeScript without ts-node. The solution is to create a pretest task that compiles tests before running them. In such a case, those tests can be run using eg.

{
    "ava.directoryReplaceFrom": "/tests",
    "ava.directoryReplaceTo": "/dist-tests",
    "ava.extensionReplaceFrom": ".ts",
    "ava.extensionReplaceTo": ".js"
}

Let's say that the path of the original test file is as follows: /sth/tests/RandomTests.ts. This file is compiled to /sth/dist-tests/RandomTests.js. Using those settings replaces the original path during tests run.
