VSCode Side Test

Side test is a VSCode extension that make it easy to navigate to a test file from your source file. You can either just open the test file when in a source file, or make it open in a side by side, very useful when doing TDD.

Extension Settings

If you test files are located in the same source folder as the matching source files:

• sidetest.unitTest.subFolder: the subfolder to look in to find the test file for a source file. default is null, meaning the test file is in the same folder as the source file.

If your test files are located in a separate root folder:

• sidetest.unitTest.rootFolder: the root folder containing the test files (relative to workspace folder)
• sidetest.source.rootFolder: the root folder containing the source files (relative to workspace folder)

In either mode, you can specify the following options:

• sidetest.unitTest.preExtensionSuffix: the suffix to add before the file extension to find the matching test. Common suffix are 'test' and 'spec'. Default is [spec]
• sidetest.unitTest.prefix: the prefix to add before the source filename. No default
• sidetest.unitTest.suffix: the suffix to add after the source filename. No default
• sidetest.createTestIfMissing: When set to true, the test file will be created if you try to open it and it doesn't exist. false by default
