boo-test

boo testing framework ported to js

usage

for a simple sample file ./.test/simple.js, containing

#!/usr/bin/env node
"use module" // an initial directive comments will be ignored
"4" // this first comment is the expected output
console.log(2+2) // this produces real output

we can run

boo-test file.js

which will:

• run the simple.js file as a program
• extract the expected output
• run diff on these real & expected outputs

if successful, it means the output & expected output match. if unsuccessful, the diff is printed to screen & boo-test returns false.
