v2.0.0-beta.2 Changes
May 19, 2019๐ โ ๏ธ If you're looking to upgrade from 1.4.1, make sure to read the Beta 1 release notes.
๐ฅ Breaking changes
- โก๏ธ Test implementations may return observables. We've updated our TypeScript definition to require these to have a
Symbol.observable
function. c2d8218
โ Test file and helper selection
โ AVA now also selects files ending with
.spec.js
when looking for tests. 08e99e5You can now specify custom globs to select helper files:
{ "ava": { "helpers": ["\*\*/helpers/\*\*/\*"] } }
๐ Bugfixes
- ๐ท The dependency tracking in watch mode now respects custom require hooks you install in the worker processes. Thanks @lo1tuma! cb4c809

The TypeScript definition once again allows
test.skip(macro)

v2.0.0-beta.1 Changes
April 29, 2019๐ฅ Breaking changes
AVA now requires at least Node.js 8.9.4
๐ Per the Node.js release schedule, the 6.x releases reach end of live on April 30th. Consequently we've removed support in AVA. We are now testing with Node.js 12 though. 3a4afc6
โ Test file and helper selection
We've been working on simplifying how test files and helpers are selected. First off, the
files
option now only accepts glob patterns. If you configured it with directories before, please add/**/*
to get the previous behavior.๐ง The
files
andsources
options must now be arrays containing at least one pattern. It's no longer possible to override a default exclusion pattern, but we're looking at making these configurable separately.๐ AVA used to treat all files inside a
helpers
directory as test helpers. Finding these files could be really slow, however, and it also meant you couldn't have tests inside ahelpers
directory. Instead we're going to let you specify glob patterns to find these helpers. That work hasn't landed yet. For now, if you have such helpers we'd advise to not upgrade to this release.โ Test files starting with an underscore are still recognized as helpers.
โ Files inside
fixtures
directories are no longer ignored, and will now be treated as test files. The watcher now also watchesava.config.js
files.The CLI now only takes file paths, not glob patterns.
โก๏ธ We'd like some help updating our ESLint plugin as well.
Snapshots in CI
โก๏ธ When you run tests locally and add a new snapshot, AVA automatically updates the
.snap
file. However if you forget to commit this file and then run your CI tests, they won't fail because AVA quietly updates the.snap
file, just like it does locally.๐ With this release, AVA will fail the
t.snapshot()
assertion if it is run in CI and no snapshot could be found. 0804107Assertion messages must be strings
๐ AVA now enforces assertion messages to be strings. The message is only used when the assertion fails, and non-string values may cause AVA to crash. You may see test failures if you were accidentally passing a non-string message. 49120aa
Flow type definitions
๐ We've decided to remove the Flow type definitions from AVA itself. We don't have anybody to maintain them and consequently they've become a blocker when adding features to AVA. c633cf0
We've set up a new repository from which we'll publish the definitions, but we need your help setting it up. If you use AVA and Flow, please join us in avajs/flow-typed#1.
Other changes
- We've added
UntitledMacro
andUntitledCbMacro
types, for macro functions that will never have a.title
function. Though really this just helped simplify the type definition. Thanks @qlonik! ebf4807

v1.4.1 Changes
March 24, 2019Focusing
power-assert
AVA comes with
power-assert
built-in, giving you more descriptive assertion messages. However it's been confusing to understand which assertions come withpower-assert
. To address this we've added the newt.assert()
assertion. It's now the only assertion that ispower-assert
enabled. The assertion passes if called with a truthy value. Consider this example:test('enhanced assertions', t =\> { const a = /foo/; const b = 'bar'; const c = 'baz'; t.assert(a.test(b) || b === c); });
AVA will output: 6: const c = 'baz'; โ 7: t.assert(a.test(b) || b === c); 8: }); Value is not truthy: false โ a.test(b) || b === c => false b === c => false c => 'baz' b => 'bar' โ a.test(b) => false b => 'bar' a => /foo/
โก๏ธ Our ESLint plugin has been updated to support this new assertion. Many thanks to @eemed for implementing this! 9406470
Watch mode
๐จ Watch mode now prints the available commands. Thanks @KompKK! cd256ac
๐ Bug fixes
- โ
Filtered tests (when using
--match
,.skip()
or.only()
) are no longer included in the list of pending tests when timeouts occur or when you interrupt a test run. Thanks @vancouverwill! 23e302a - ๐ท We're now shimming all TTY methods in the worker processes, thanks to @okyantoro. c1f6fdf
๐ Documentation updates
- โ We've added a note to say that, by default, AVA does not have a default test timeout. Thanks @amokmen! 99a10a1

v1.3.1 Changes
March 05, 2019๐ Bug fixes
- We've fixed a rather embarrasing bug with
t.throws()
andt.throwsAsync()
. If you'd set acode
expectation to a number we never actually checked that the thrown error had such a code! Thanks to @qlonik for both spotting and fixing this. 82daa5e - ๐ฆ 1.2.0 contained a regression which meant that if you faked
clearTimeout()
, you'd break AVA. That's now been fixed. 40f331c - Snapshot files are now recognized as source files, so if you're using watch mode and you delete one, AVA won't rerun all your test files. d066f6f
๐ New features
You can now use
require()
inava.config.js
files to load non-ES modules. 334e15bAll changes
