Fixes #720 and potentially #1049.

Lack of this feature has been bugging me for a long time, glad I've finally found a time to fix it. It's still WIP, need to:

  • Submit a PR to ava-files to support findHelpers() (currently named as findTestDependencies()).
  • Fix tests.
  • Write new tests.

As for #1049 (external macros are not precompiled), we could add a special glob for that, like **/macros/** to precompile those files as well.

Good start! This compiles the helpers as if they were test files, right? That seems correct to me.

Let's see where that gets us before doing anything else for macros.

Yep, exactly.

Yes for sure, that is unrelated to this PR.

Why use .map if you're not actually going to map anything?

I was using it as a way to async iterate the items. Is there another bluebird method that does that?

Do we foresee people wanting to disable this behavior?

Tests are being run from the root, so AVA finds and precompiles helpers and fixtures from the test folder (e.g. test/fixture/ignored-dirs/helpers/test.js).

That's why I change the cwd to make it look like the tests are being executed from that dir. I think it's actually what each test should do.

The pkgDir and resolveTestsFrom directories can be passed to Api though. That's how its meant to be used, implicit defaults aside. We shouldn't need to change the working directory of the tap process.

Specifically transpiling fixtures seems fraught.

Specifically transpiling fixtures seems fraught.

Could you elaborate on this? I don't quite understand the reasoning.

@novemberborn

Helpers should contain logic to make it easier to write test. Fixtures contain all sorts of files that relate to your test. If you're testing a Babel plugin you may write .js fixtures that you're using to exercise your tests. Those should not be transpiled.

@vdemedes What's your use-case for transpiling fixtures? I'm leaning towards @novemberborn's argument.

@vadimdemedes

My thinking was that everything that resides under test/ belongs to AVA, so it should take care of those files and provide its features (power-assert, ES6, etc) to them as well.

However, @novemberborn's reasoning about fixtures relation to tests does make sense to me now. I will correct this PR and the one in ava-files as well.

w/r/t #1049, I've just installed this branch and ran against an external macro, and it did not appear to resolve the issue that powerAssert is not applied to those tests

@Snugug only files with names starting with _ and located in helpers/ folders get transpiled in this PR. In the issue you mentioned the files are located in macros/ folder, right?

Code looks good to me, but needs to be added to the readme.
