is

sst test

in a working state? when I run it, it just prints “Preparing your SST app” and seems to stop there

chances are good that most of the time is spent transpiling the code. It should be cached on a second run, or you can do incremental TS builds. I havent found anything as fast as Jest in my own experience. Everything I said assumes you are using TS.

how long should it take to transpile though? we’re talking a really small test, testing some really simple & short code.

not sure, it might need some help ignoring some stuff if it is really that simple (tsconfig). For comparison, I just ran 120 tests on a large library that contains virtual database bootups and it took 13 seconds.

I'm watching https://vitest.dev/ with great interest.

@Matt Morgan ooh, cool! nice to run into another Vue dev here 😄

No, actually not, but I like vite a lot.

oh right.. Vite is not strictly Vue

Nothing against Vue, but the product I work on had a bunch of react already.

makes sense

Try using

jest

directly for now. Currently

sst test

wraps around

jest

but doesn’t provide much benefit. We are re-thinking the test strategy for SST apps.

Use esbuild runner with jest

@Frank I tried that.. even just running

jest

hangs. I’ll have to try in a fresh project to see what happens. @thdxr how do I go about setting that up?

@thdxr hangs completely 😞 this is baffling.

strange

haha

jest is a nice API in many ways, but the internals give you fits. That's why I'm putting my hopes on vitest.

I've been meaning to setup vitest

Also eyes on https://kdy1.dev/posts/2022/1/tsc-go. This kind of stuff should help a lot.

Yeah was excited to see that post this morning. I've been following his rust attempt and it seemed to have stalled

if you hate Jest, you will really hate Mocha, lol. I have no argument with any of the above, though, I have gotten very deep into testing and still cant explain a bunch of the failures.

I mean, jest doesn’t even run for me. so.. literally any testing framework will be a step up 😄
