Doesn't seem work with coffeescript

[adius]

I have following lines in my package file:

  "scripts": {
    "test": "ava --require coffee-script/register --verbose test"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "ava": "^0.11.0",
    "coffee-script": "^1.10.0"
  }

The test directory contains a main.coffee file with ava tests.

When I run npm test, however, it always says Couldn't find any files to test.

Any ideas?

@adius currently test files must be JavaScript files, ending in .js. Are you trying to use a test file written in Coffeescript?

You could compile it first to JavaScript and then run that file. Just like with TypeScript. Although it might be cleaner if AVA could handle .coffee files directly.

I haven't tried this, but couldn't you change the search pattern for files to include test/**/*.coffee either in AVA config in package.json or directly in your test command? Assuming you retain the --require coffee-script/register

[jamestalmage]

couldn't you change the search pattern for files to include test/*/.coffee

Unfortunately, no. We are discussing a similar issue for jsx here.

Closing in favor of #229.
