NAME

     tape — tap-producing test harness for node and browsers

SYNOPSIS

     tape [-r module] [file] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     tape is a tap-producing test harness for node and browsers requiring only a few line of
     code. It can be used for unit and integration testing.  tape will execute test described by
     file option. File are interpreted using glob module by default. You may therefore need to
     quote file in order to avoid globbing by shell.  Tests are written in pure javascript, so
     tests could be run using Node.js.

OPTIONS

     -r, --require
              load one or more modules before running any tests. Please note that all modules
              loaded using the -r flag will run before any tests, regardless of when they are
              specified. For example, tape -r a b -r c will actually load a and c before loading
              b, since they are flagged as required modules.

     -i, --ignore
              ignore tests from certain folders and/or files are not intended to be run. It
              defaults to `.gitignore` file when passed with no argument. For example:
              tape -i .ignore **/*.js`

     --no-only
              This is particularly useful in a CI environment where an "only test" is not
              supposed to go unnoticed. By passing the `--no-only` flag, any existing "only test"
              causes tests to fail:
              tape --no-only **/*.js`
              Alternatively, the environment variable `NODE_TAPE_NO_ONLY_TEST` can be set to
              `true` to achieve the same behavior; the command-line flag takes precedence.

METHODS

     The assertion methods in `tape` are heavily influenced or copied from the methods in node-
     tap.
     var test = require('tape')

EXAMPLES

     tape 'tests/**/*.js'
     tape -r './my/local/module' 'tests/**/*.js'
     tape -r 'babel-register' 'tests/**/*.js'
