Features

Supported files

JS Autotest has built-in support for JS, TS, JSX and TSX files.

Supported test runners

At this time, JSAutotest supports Jest.

Running test command for a file

Tip: You can also run this and any command that is executed through the context menu on non-test files. In this case, Autotest will try to find the correspondent test file according to your autotest.testFilePattern configuration.

Right-click any of the supported files, then select the option Run tests for this file. Autotest will then run your test script passing the file path as an argument to that script.

Be aware that JSAutotest will create a new terminal named 'Autotest' to run the command. If a terminal with the same name already, exists, JSAutotest will use it instead.

Running test command for multiple files

You can run tests for multiple files at once adding them to what we call a 'test group'. A test group is a list of paths to your test files.

Adding a file to the test group

Right-click any of the supported files then select the option Add to test group. You should receive a success message if the operation ran without errors. Note that you can't add the same file to the test group more than once.

Removing a file from the test group

Right-click any of the supported files then select the option Remove from test group. If the file was in the test group, it will be removed and you should see a confirmation message.

Running all tests for files in the test group

Open the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows/Linux, Command + Shift + P on Mac) then type Run tests for test group. All tests included in the test group will run at once.

This command follows the same terminal rules explained in Running test command for a file section.
