npm-bin-ava-tester

npm-bin-ava-tester.js

ready-to-use ava tests for CLIs written with Node.js and NPM

What is this?

I designed this package for use with CLIs that are:

• written in Node.js

• published to NPM

• already tested (or otherwise compatible) with ava

This package exports a single function that conveniently initialises some basic tests for you to ensure that:

• you have at least a basic package.json file

• your package.json file has valid "bin" references

• your "bin" files all exist and are executable

• your "bin" files all use UNIX-style LF line-endings, not CR or CRLF

• your "bin" files all start with #! /usr/bin/env node

Usage

Example ava test file:

const test = require('ava')
const npmBinTester = require('npm-bin-ava-tester')
 
npmBinTester(test)

That's it!
