Usage#

import t from 'tap'

const functionThatLogs = (n: number) => {
  console.log('the number is', n)
}

t.test('some child test', t => {
  // track console.log calls
  const results = t.capture(console, 'log')
  functionThatLogs(10)
  functionThatLogs(5)
  // results() returns the list of what was called, and resets
  // the store.
  t.match(results(), [
    { args: ['the number is', 10], returned: undefined },
    { args: ['the number is', 5], returned: undefined },
  ])
  functionThatLogs(1)
  t.match(results(), [
    { args: ['the number is', 1], returned: undefined },
  ])
  // when the test ends, the original is restored
  t.end()
})

t.test('capture with an implementation', t => {
  const results = t.capture(console, 'log', () => {
    throw new Error('thrown from stub')
  })
  t.throws(
    () => {
      functionThatLogs(3)
    },
    { message: 'thrown from stub' }
  )
  t.match(results(), { args: ['the number is', 3], threw: true })
  t.end()
})

t.test('capture and still call the function', t => {
  // to do this, we just pass the original in as the third arg
  const results = t.capture(console, 'log', console.log)
  // actually logs to the console
  functionThatLogs(1)
  t.match(results(), [
    { args: ['the number is', 1], returned: undefined },
  ])
  t.end()
})

t.test('intercept a property set/get', t => {
  // the last arg is a propertyDescriptor, but configurable: true
  // forced on it even if not provided, so that we can restore
  // it at the end of the test.
  // If a value is provided, then we still actually set to a
  // setter/getter so that we can track accesses.
  const results = t.intercept(process, 'version', {
    value: '1.2.3',
  })
  t.equal(process.version, '1.2.3')
  process.version = '2.4.6'
  // we didn't make it writable, so this didn't do anything.
  t.equal(process.version, '1.2.3')
  t.match(results(), [
    { receiver: process, type: 'get', value: '1.2.3', success: true },
    { receiver: process, type: 'set', value: '2.4.6', success: false },
    { receiver: process, type: 'get', value: '1.2.3', success: true },
  ])
})
