How to configure test to run on non Deno.test()?

[clemens-tolboom]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'd like to run tests like done in ie https://github.com/denoland/deno_std/blob/main/fs/walk_test.ts where test_walk() takes care of setup and teardown.

I'm not sure whether this is either a simple tasks.json thing or problemMatcher: $deno-test like we have for in editor Run Test | Debug

Describe the solution you'd like

As test_walk() is a user defined function name as match could be test_* or the responsibility of the user to enter valid values/patterns.

I think it would be better if that could work with other function names too rather than just those with the "test_" prefix, for example if you are using a wrapper around Deno.test for writing tests in describe/it blocks.

writing tests in describe/it blocks

What does that mean :-)

I just learned deno test --filter "value" matches the

Deno.test({
    name: "value"

How does that work? I cannot find this code :-/

[KyleJune]

This is an example I wrote. There are others out there. Other common JavaScript test runners use describe functions for grouping tests together and giving them shared setup/teardown with before after hooks. Then it functions for the actual individual test cases.

@KyleJune thanks for the pointer to describe/it example. I know see your 'wrapped' issue. Have you checked with test_walk too.

Do you know a pointer to my other question in #606 (comment) ?
