Svelte + Tape Scaffolding

This is a simple empty project aim to be a minimal scaffolding for projects in Svelte that include a test suite made with tape and testing-library.

Why

I really like Svelte but I also really like TDD approach and Svelte in this moment doesn't have a test setup and neither some guide. I choose tape because I think is a very lean test utils and make write test super fast.

Features

Basically all the features that a normal Svelte project has plus some more commands:

yarn test //run the test once

yarn test -w // run the test in watch mode

yarn test:run  // run again the last test

Tests

By default these commands run all the test that are in the format <filename>.spec.js inside the src folder.

Caveats

• At the moment (and probably with yarn2) is not possible to named import testing-library/svelte utils. The temporary solution was to import the library as tl and then using the normal utility like tl.render.

• Probably because of the way test are built the DOM is not polish after each test. A good practise is to run tl.cleanup() before ending the test.
