NAME

       pkg-js-autopkgtest - autopkgtest runner to automatically test Node.js packages

       [[_TOC_]]

SYNOPSIS

       • in debian/control, insert "Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-nodejs"

       • write upstream test in debian/tests/pkg-js/test (will be launched by sh -e)

       • if  some  other files than "test*" and "debian/tests/test_modules/*" and installed files
         are needed, write a "debian/tests/pkg-js/files" with all needed directories/files

       That's all, other debian/tests  files  will  be  written  on-the-fly  by  autodep8  during
       autopkgtest

       If  you  want to launch the same test during build, simply add dh-sequence-nodejs in build
       dependencies

HOW IT WORKS

       • if   directory   debian/tests/test_modules   exists,   NODE_PATH   will   be   set    to
         NODE_PATH=debian/tests/test_modules:node_modules

       • if  additional  modules  were  linked during build, they will be linked into node_module
         (debian/nodejs/extlinks)

       • if additional modules were copies during build, they will  be  copied  into  node_module
         (debian/nodejs/extcopies)

       • if package contains some other components, they will be linked into node_module

       • autopkgtest will launch 2 tests:

         • a "require" test (see below)

         • the  test  defined  in debian/tests/pkg-js/test in a temporary dir (it links installed
           files)

       • if dh-sequence-nodejs is a build dependency, dh_auto_test  will  launch  the  same  test
         (debian/tests/pkg-js/test)  if exists, else just a node -e "require('.')". Note that you
         can override test during build using debian/nodejs/test

       • if file debian/tests/pkg-js/require-name exists, its content will be used as module name
         in "require" test (instead of using package.json value)

FULL EXAMPLE

       • debian/control

         ...
         Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-nodejs
         Build-Depends: dh-sequence-nodejs
         ...

       • debian/tests/pkg-js/test

         mocha -R spec

ADDITIONAL TEST PACKAGES OR TEST RESTRICTIONS

       autodep8  allows  one  to  add  additional  packages during autopkgtest (and/or additional
       restrictions) by using a debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-nodejs.conf file:

         extra_depends=mocha, npm
         extra-restrictions=needs-internet

THE REQUIRE TEST

   How it works
       First, pkg-js-autopkgtest searches the module name.

       • if debian/tests/pkg-js/require-name exists, its content will be used as module name

       • else if looks at package.json "name" field:

         • if debian/nodejs/main exists, like dh-sequence-nodejs, it uses the  package.json  from
           this directory

         • else it uses ./package.json

       Then  pkg-js-autopkgtest looks at package.json fields, not using the file mentioned above,
       but   using   the   file   installed   by    the    Debian    package    to    test    (ie
       /usr/share/nodejs/<module-name>/package.json):

       • if type equals module, then:

         • it builds a node_modules directory with all available dependencies of the module

         • it builds a test.mjs file that tries to import the module to test and launch it

       • if  main  isn't defined and index.js doesn't exist, it skip the test (this avoids to try
         to test @types/<foo> modules)

       • else it simply launches a nodejs -e "require('$moduleName')"

       Since version 0.10.0,  pkg-js-autopkgtest  does  the  same  test  for  all  other  modules
       installed  in  nodejs  root  directories (components installed by dh-sequence-nodejs using
       debian/nodejs/root_modules file). If one fail, the whole test is marked as failed.

       Returned values:

       • 0 if all tests succeed (even if some secondary modules are skipped)

       • 77 if all tests succeed but the main module test was skipped.  This  value  is  used  by
         autopkgtest to report a SKIP instead of a failure.

       • else, the number of failure. Then autopkgtest considers the test as FAIL

   Customize require test
       If   you   want   to   skip   some   secondary   module   tests,   simply   list  them  in
       debian/tests/pkg-js/require-SKIP (one module per line).

       If you want to skip the whole "require" test, use this:

         echo require > debian/tests/pkg-js/SKIP

THE MAIN TEST

       pkg-js-autopkgtest uses  the  same  test  than  dh-sequence-nodejs:  it  launches  sh  -ex
       debian/tests/pkg-js/test but using the files installed by the Debian package.

   How it works
       pkg-js-autopkgtest  search for module name using the same way than "require" test. Then it
       prepares the test environment:

       • it creates a temporary directory

       • it  links  all  files  installed  in  the  directory  corresponding   to   module   name
         (/usr/share/<module-name>)

       • it creates a node_modules directory and links into it:

         • all modules listed in debian/nodejs/extlinks

         • all modules present in debian/build_modules and debian/tests/test_modules

         • all  other  modules  installed  by  the  Debian  package  in  nodejs  root directories
           (debian/nodejs/root_modules)

       • it copies in node_modules directory all modules listed in debian/nodejs/extcopies

       • if looks at debian/tests/pkg-js/files

         • if it exists, it copies all files/directories listed in it from  source  directory  to
           temporary one

         • else it copies from source directory to temporary one:

           • all test* files

           • all Makefile like files (rollup.config.js, gulpfile.js,... )

       Then  it  changes  its  directory  to  the  temporary  one  launches the test using sh -ex
       debian/tests/pkg-js/test.
