Hacking on Neotest-Busted

Testing Neotest-Busted

This plugin can be tested using Neotest if everything has been set up correctly.

Taking a new sample

How to generate the samples found in test/unit/samples/

1. Run the following Lua script with content set to the file content of the test

   -- Replace with actual test content
   local content = [[
   it('Always succeeds', function()
           assert.is_true(true)
   end)
   ]]
   
   vim.fn.writefile(vim.fn.split(content, '\n'), 'throwaway.lua', 's')
   local s = vim.fn.system {
       './test/busted',
       '--output', 'json',
       '--', 'throwaway.lua'
   }
   local output = vim.json.decode(vim.split(s, '\n')[1])
   print(vim.inspect(output))

2. Copy-paste the output representation to a sample file as the output object.

3. Replace all references to throwaway.lua with tempname.

4. Sort the table entries to your liking
