alsatian-cli-function

Exports a function to run a provided file using alsatian.

Why?

So you can easily turn each of your alsatian test files into an executable script that doesn't depend on the alsatian CLI. You can just run it with node path/to/your/file.js or ts-node path/to/your/file.ts.

YourTest.ts:

// no globals and typing support out of the box with intellisense
import { Expect, Test, TestFixture } from "alsatian";
import cli from "alsatian-cli-function";
 
@TestFixture("whatever you'd like to call the fixture")
export class YourTestFixture {
    @TestCase(3, 3, 6)
    @Test("addition tests")
    public addTest(firstNumber: number, secondNumber: number, expectedSum: number) {
        Expect(firstNumber + secondNumber).toBe(expectedSum);
    }
}
 
if (require.main === module) {
  (async () => {
    await cli(__filename);
  })();
}

Then: ts-node YourTest.ts to run the tests in that file.
