Run your Bun tests in the built-in VS Code Testing UI.
Migration to VS Code Native Testing API
This extension has been updated to use VS Code's native Testing API instead of the deprecated Test Explorer extension. This change offers several benefits:
Better integration with VS Code's built-in testing features
Improved performance
Access to richer test result displays and diffs
No need for additional extension dependencies
Requirements
VS Code 1.59 or higher
Bun 1.0 or higher
Using the Test Explorer
Open a project that uses Bun for testing
Tests will be automatically discovered and displayed in the Testing sidebar
Click the play button next to a test or test suite to run it
You can also debug tests by clicking the debug icon
Features
Automatic test discovery for Bun tests
Run/Debug individual tests or test suites
View test results directly in the editor
Filter tests by status or name
Test navigation
Support for skipped tests (via it.skip() or test.skip())
Skipping Tests
You can skip tests in your Bun test files using standard Bun testing syntax:
// Skip an individual test
it.skip("should be skipped", () => {
// This test will be shown as skipped in the test explorer
});
// Skip a test in a describe block
describe("test suite", () => {
test.skip("should be skipped", () => {
// This test will be shown as skipped in the test explorer
});
});
Skipped tests will be properly displayed in the VS Code test explorer with the "skipped" status.
Configuration
bunTestExplorer.pathToBun: Override the path to the Bun executable
bunTestExplorer.pathToBunConfig: Override the path to the Bun config file
