ts-node-test-register

Use test/tsconfig.json with ts-node for testing.

Features

Load test/tsconfig.json

This register library load tsconfig.json file by following priority.

• project/{test}/tsconfig.test.json
• project/{test}/tsconfig.json
• project/tsconfig.test.json
• project/tsconfig.json

{test} is test directory by default.

You can specified the {test} by directories of package.json.

  "directories": {
    "test": "test"
  },

Notes: Why need to load different tsconfig.json between main and test?

In some times, we use different tsconfig.json between main code and test code.

For example, you can enable allowJs in test code. It supports gradual migration that convert JavaScript to TypeScript.

Type Check by default

ts-node(v4) disable type-check by default.This behavior is reverted in v6.0.0

• Release "Fast" By Default · TypeStrong/ts-node

The motivation is based on so not good experience.

• Type error reporting · Issue #79 · kulshekhar/ts-jest
• test(textlint-formatter): mocha runs fine while tsc cannot compile the script · Issue #448 · textlint/textlint

This register library supports Mike Haas's opinion.

test code is still code, if there's type errors in such test code, shouldn't it fail? -- https://github.com/kulshekhar/ts-jest/issues/79#issuecomment-355397865
