<p><strong>Source Code:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v20.15.1/lib/test.js">lib/test.js</a></p>
<p>The <code>node:test</code> module facilitates the creation of JavaScript tests.
To access it:</p>

<pre class="with-34-chars"><input class="js-flavor-toggle" type="checkbox" checked aria-label="Show modern ES modules syntax"><code class="language-js mjs"><span class="hljs-keyword">import</span> test <span class="hljs-keyword">from</span> <span class="hljs-string">'node:test'</span>;</code><code class="language-js cjs"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> test = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'node:test'</span>);</code><button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>This module is only available under the <code>node:</code> scheme. The following will not
work:</p>

<pre class="with-29-chars"><input class="js-flavor-toggle" type="checkbox" checked aria-label="Show modern ES modules syntax"><code class="language-js mjs"><span class="hljs-keyword">import</span> test <span class="hljs-keyword">from</span> <span class="hljs-string">'test'</span>;</code><code class="language-js cjs"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> test = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'test'</span>);</code><button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>Tests created via the <code>test</code> module consist of a single function that is
processed in one of three ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>A synchronous function that is considered failing if it throws an exception,
and is considered passing otherwise.</li>
<li>A function that returns a <code>Promise</code> that is considered failing if the
<code>Promise</code> rejects, and is considered passing if the <code>Promise</code> fulfills.</li>
<li>A function that receives a callback function. If the callback receives any
truthy value as its first argument, the test is considered failing. If a
falsy value is passed as the first argument to the callback, the test is
considered passing. If the test function receives a callback function and
also returns a <code>Promise</code>, the test will fail.</li>
</ol>
<p>The following example illustrates how tests are written using the
<code>test</code> module.</p>

<p>If any tests fail, the process exit code is set to <code>1</code>.</p>
<section><h3>Subtests<span><a class="mark" href="#subtests" id="subtests">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="test_subtests"></a></h3>
<p>The test context's <code>test()</code> method allows subtests to be created.
It allows you to structure your tests in a hierarchical manner,
where you can create nested tests within a larger test.
This method behaves identically to the top level <code>test()</code> function.
The following example demonstrates the creation of a
top level test with two subtests.</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-title function_">test</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'top level test'</span>, <span class="hljs-keyword">async</span> (t) => {
  <span class="hljs-keyword">await</span> t.<span class="hljs-title function_">test</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'subtest 1'</span>, <span class="hljs-function">(<span class="hljs-params">t</span>) =></span> {
    assert.<span class="hljs-title function_">strictEqual</span>(<span class="hljs-number">1</span>, <span class="hljs-number">1</span>);
  });

  <span class="hljs-keyword">await</span> t.<span class="hljs-title function_">test</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'subtest 2'</span>, <span class="hljs-function">(<span class="hljs-params">t</span>) =></span> {
    assert.<span class="hljs-title function_">strictEqual</span>(<span class="hljs-number">2</span>, <span class="hljs-number">2</span>);
  });
});</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> <code>beforeEach</code> and <code>afterEach</code> hooks are triggered
between each subtest execution.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In this example, <code>await</code> is used to ensure that both subtests have completed.
This is necessary because tests do not wait for their subtests to
complete, unlike tests created within suites.
Any subtests that are still outstanding when their parent finishes
are cancelled and treated as failures. Any subtest failures cause the parent
test to fail.</p>
</section><section><h3>Skipping tests<span><a class="mark" href="#skipping-tests" id="skipping-tests">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="test_skipping_tests"></a></h3>
<p>Individual tests can be skipped by passing the <code>skip</code> option to the test, or by
calling the test context's <code>skip()</code> method as shown in the
following example.</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-comment">// The skip option is used, but no message is provided.</span>

</section><section><h3>TODO tests<span><a class="mark" href="#todo-tests" id="todo-tests">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="test_todo_tests"></a></h3>
<p>Individual tests can be marked as flaky or incomplete by passing the <code>todo</code>
option to the test, or by calling the test context's <code>todo()</code> method, as shown
in the following example. These tests represent a pending implementation or bug
that needs to be fixed. TODO tests are executed, but are not treated as test
failures, and therefore do not affect the process exit code. If a test is marked
as both TODO and skipped, the TODO option is ignored.</p>

<p>The <a href="cli.html#--test-name-pattern"><code>--test-name-pattern</code></a> command-line option can be used to only run tests
whose name matches the provided pattern. Test name patterns are interpreted as
JavaScript regular expressions. The <code>--test-name-pattern</code> option can be
specified multiple times in order to run nested tests. For each test that is
executed, any corresponding test hooks, such as <code>beforeEach()</code>, are also
run.</p>
<p>Given the following test file, starting Node.js with the
<code>--test-name-pattern="test [1-3]"</code> option would cause the test runner to execute
<code>test 1</code>, <code>test 2</code>, and <code>test 3</code>. If <code>test 1</code> did not match the test name
pattern, then its subtests would not execute, despite matching the pattern. The
same set of tests could also be executed by passing <code>--test-name-pattern</code>
multiple times (e.g. <code>--test-name-pattern="test 1"</code>,
<code>--test-name-pattern="test 2"</code>, etc.).</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-title function_">test</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'test 1'</span>, <span class="hljs-keyword">async</span> (t) => {

<p>Test name patterns can also be specified using regular expression literals. This
allows regular expression flags to be used. In the previous example, starting
Node.js with <code>--test-name-pattern="/test [4-5]/i"</code> would match <code>Test 4</code> and
<code>Test 5</code> because the pattern is case-insensitive.</p>
<p>Test name patterns do not change the set of files that the test runner executes.</p>

<p>Once a test function finishes executing, the results are reported as quickly
as possible while maintaining the order of the tests. However, it is possible
for the test function to generate asynchronous activity that outlives the test
itself. The test runner handles this type of activity, but does not delay the
reporting of test results in order to accommodate it.</p>
<p>In the following example, a test completes with two <code>setImmediate()</code>
operations still outstanding. The first <code>setImmediate()</code> attempts to create a
new subtest. Because the parent test has already finished and output its
results, the new subtest is immediately marked as failed, and reported later
to the <a href="test.html#class-testsstream" class="type">&#x3C;TestsStream></a>.</p>
<p>The second <code>setImmediate()</code> creates an <code>uncaughtException</code> event.
<code>uncaughtException</code> and <code>unhandledRejection</code> events originating from a completed
test are marked as failed by the <code>test</code> module and reported as diagnostic
warnings at the top level by the <a href="test.html#class-testsstream" class="type">&#x3C;TestsStream></a>.</p>

<pre><code class="language-bash">node --<span class="hljs-built_in">test</span> --watch</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>In watch mode, the test runner will watch for changes to test files and

<p>The Node.js test runner can be invoked from the command line by passing the

<pre><code class="language-bash">node --<span class="hljs-built_in">test</span></code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>By default, Node.js will recursively search the current directory for
JavaScript source files matching a specific naming convention. Matching files
are executed as test files. More information on the expected test file naming
convention and behavior can be found in the <a href="#test-runner-execution-model">test runner execution model</a>
section.</p>
<p>Alternatively, one or more paths can be provided as the final argument(s) to
the Node.js command, as shown below.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">node --<span class="hljs-built_in">test</span> test1.js test2.mjs custom_test_dir/</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>In this example, the test runner will execute the files <code>test1.js</code> and
<code>test2.mjs</code>. The test runner will also recursively search the
<code>custom_test_dir/</code> directory for test files to execute.</p>
<h4>Test runner execution model<span><a class="mark" href="#test-runner-execution-model" id="test-runner-execution-model">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="test_test_runner_execution_model"></a></h4>
<p>When searching for test files to execute, the test runner behaves as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Any files explicitly provided by the user are executed.</li>
<li>If the user did not explicitly specify any paths, the current working
directory is recursively searched for files as specified in the following
steps.</li>
<li><code>node_modules</code> directories are skipped unless explicitly provided by the
user.</li>
<li>If a directory named <code>test</code> is encountered, the test runner will search it
recursively for all all <code>.js</code>, <code>.cjs</code>, and <code>.mjs</code> files. All of these files
are treated as test files, and do not need to match the specific naming
convention detailed below. This is to accommodate projects that place all of
their tests in a single <code>test</code> directory.</li>
<li>In all other directories, <code>.js</code>, <code>.cjs</code>, and <code>.mjs</code> files matching the
following patterns are treated as test files:
<ul>
<li><code>^test$</code> - Files whose basename is the string <code>'test'</code>. Examples:
<code>test.js</code>, <code>test.cjs</code>, <code>test.mjs</code>.</li>
<li><code>^test-.+</code> - Files whose basename starts with the string <code>'test-'</code>
followed by one or more characters. Examples: <code>test-example.js</code>,
<code>test-another-example.mjs</code>.</li>
<li><code>.+[\.\-\_]test$</code> - Files whose basename ends with <code>.test</code>, <code>-test</code>, or
<code>_test</code>, preceded by one or more characters. Examples: <code>example.test.js</code>,
<code>example-test.cjs</code>, <code>example_test.mjs</code>.</li>
<li>Other file types understood by Node.js such as <code>.node</code> and <code>.json</code> are not
automatically executed by the test runner, but are supported if explicitly
provided on the command line.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Each matching test file is executed in a separate child process. The maximum
number of child processes running at any time is controlled by the
<a href="cli.html#--test-concurrency"><code>--test-concurrency</code></a> flag. If the child process finishes with an exit code
of 0, the test is considered passing. Otherwise, the test is considered to be a
failure. Test files must be executable by Node.js, but are not required to use
the <code>node:test</code> module internally.</p>
<p>Each test file is executed as if it was a regular script. That is, if the test
file itself uses <code>node:test</code> to define tests, all of those tests will be
executed within a single application thread, regardless of the value of the
<code>concurrency</code> option of <a href="#testname-options-fn"><code>test()</code></a>.</p>

all tests have completed. If the <a href="cli.html#node_v8_coveragedir"><code>NODE_V8_COVERAGE</code></a> environment variable is
used to specify a code coverage directory, the generated V8 coverage files are
written to that directory. Node.js core modules and files within
<code>node_modules/</code> directories are not included in the coverage report. If
coverage is enabled, the coverage report is sent to any <a href="#test-reporters">test reporters</a> via

<h4>Timers<span><a class="mark" href="#timers" id="timers">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="test_timers"></a></h4>
<p>Mocking timers is a technique commonly used in software testing to simulate and
control the behavior of timers, such as <code>setInterval</code> and <code>setTimeout</code>,
without actually waiting for the specified time intervals.</p>
<p>Refer to the <a href="#class-mocktimers"><code>MockTimers</code></a> class for a full list of methods and features.</p>
<p>This allows developers to write more reliable and
predictable tests for time-dependent functionality.</p>
<p>The example below shows how to mock <code>setTimeout</code>.
Using <code>.enable({ apis: ['setTimeout'] });</code>
it will mock the <code>setTimeout</code> functions in the <a href="./timers.html">node:timers</a> and
<a href="./timers.html#timers-promises-api">node:timers/promises</a> modules,
as well as from the Node.js global context.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Destructuring functions such as
<code>import { setTimeout } from 'node:timers'</code>
is currently not supported by this API.</p>

<p>The same mocking functionality is also exposed in the mock property on the <a href="#class-testcontext"><code>TestContext</code></a> object
of each test. The benefit of mocking via the test context is
that the test runner will automatically restore all mocked timers
functionality once the test finishes.</p>

<h4>Dates<span><a class="mark" href="#dates" id="dates">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="test_dates"></a></h4>
<p>The mock timers API also allows the mocking of the <code>Date</code> object. This is a
useful feature for testing time-dependent functionality, or to simulate
internal calendar functions such as <code>Date.now()</code>.</p>
<p>The dates implementation is also part of the <a href="#class-mocktimers"><code>MockTimers</code></a> class. Refer to it
for a full list of methods and features.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Dates and timers are dependent when mocked together. This means that
if you have both the <code>Date</code> and <code>setTimeout</code> mocked, advancing the time will
also advance the mocked date as they simulate a single internal clock.</p>
<p>The example below show how to mock the <code>Date</code> object and obtain the current
<code>Date.now()</code> value.</p>

<p>If there is no initial epoch set, the initial date will be based on 0 in the
Unix epoch. This is January 1st, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. You can set an initial date
by passing a <code>now</code> property to the <code>.enable()</code> method. This value will be used
as the initial date for the mocked <code>Date</code> object. It can either be a positive
integer, or another Date object.</p>

<p>The <code>node:test</code> module supports passing <a href="cli.html#--test-reporter"><code>--test-reporter</code></a>
flags for the test runner to use a specific reporter.</p>
<p>The following built-reporters are supported:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>tap</code>
The <code>tap</code> reporter outputs the test results in the <a href="https://testanything.org/">TAP</a> format.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>spec</code>
The <code>spec</code> reporter outputs the test results in a human-readable format.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>dot</code>
The <code>dot</code> reporter outputs the test results in a compact format,
where each passing test is represented by a <code>.</code>,
and each failing test is represented by a <code>X</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>junit</code>
The junit reporter outputs test results in a jUnit XML format</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>lcov</code>
The <code>lcov</code> reporter outputs test coverage when used with the
<a href="cli.html#--experimental-test-coverage"><code>--experimental-test-coverage</code></a> flag.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>When <code>stdout</code> is a <a href="tty.html">TTY</a>, the <code>spec</code> reporter is used by default.
Otherwise, the <code>tap</code> reporter is used by default.</p>
<p>The exact output of these reporters is subject to change between versions of
Node.js, and should not be relied on programmatically. If programmatic access
to the test runner's output is required, use the events emitted by the
<a href="test.html#class-testsstream" class="type">&#x3C;TestsStream></a>.</p>
<p>The reporters are available via the <code>node:test/reporters</code> module:</p>

<h4>Custom reporters<span><a class="mark" href="#custom-reporters" id="custom-reporters">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="test_custom_reporters"></a></h4>
<p><a href="cli.html#--test-reporter"><code>--test-reporter</code></a> can be used to specify a path to custom reporter.
A custom reporter is a module that exports a value
accepted by <a href="stream.html#streamcomposestreams">stream.compose</a>.
Reporters should transform events emitted by a <a href="test.html#class-testsstream" class="type">&#x3C;TestsStream></a></p>

it is required to specify a destination for each reporter
using <a href="cli.html#--test-reporter-destination"><code>--test-reporter-destination</code></a>.
Destination can be <code>stdout</code>, <code>stderr</code>, or a file path.
Reporters and destinations are paired according
to the order they were specified.</p>
<p>In the following example, the <code>spec</code> reporter will output to <code>stdout</code>,
and the <code>dot</code> reporter will output to <code>file.txt</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">node --test-reporter=spec --test-reporter=dot --test-reporter-destination=stdout --test-reporter-destination=file.txt</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>When a single reporter is specified, the destination will default to <code>stdout</code>,
unless a destination is explicitly provided.</p>

Test name patterns are interpreted as JavaScript regular expressions.
For each test that is executed, any corresponding test hooks, such as
<code>beforeEach()</code>, are also run.
<strong>Default:</strong> <code>undefined</code>.</li>
<li><code>timeout</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type">&#x3C;number></a> A number of milliseconds the test execution will

</ul>
</li>
<li>Returns: <a href="test.html#class-testsstream" class="type">&#x3C;TestsStream></a></li>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> <code>shard</code> is used to horizontally parallelize test running across
machines or processes, ideal for large-scale executions across varied
environments. It's incompatible with <code>watch</code> mode, tailored for rapid
code iteration by automatically rerunning tests on file changes.</p>

The first argument
to this function is a <a href="#class-testcontext"><code>TestContext</code></a> object. If the test uses callbacks,
the callback function is passed as the second argument. <strong>Default:</strong> A no-op
function.</li>
<li>Returns: <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise" class="type">&#x3C;Promise></a> Fulfilled with <code>undefined</code> once
the test completes, or immediately if the test runs within a suite.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>test()</code> function is the value imported from the <code>test</code> module. Each
invocation of this function results in reporting the test to the <a href="test.html#class-testsstream" class="type">&#x3C;TestsStream></a>.</p>
<p>The <code>TestContext</code> object passed to the <code>fn</code> argument can be used to perform
actions related to the current test. Examples include skipping the test, adding
additional diagnostic information, or creating subtests.</p>
<p><code>test()</code> returns a <code>Promise</code> that fulfills once the test completes.
if <code>test()</code> is called within a suite, it fulfills immediately.
The return value can usually be discarded for top level tests.
However, the return value from subtests should be used to prevent the parent
test from finishing first and cancelling the subtest
as shown in the following example.</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-title function_">test</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'top level test'</span>, <span class="hljs-keyword">async</span> (t) => {
  <span class="hljs-comment">// The setTimeout() in the following subtest would cause it to outlive its</span>
  <span class="hljs-comment">// parent test if 'await' is removed on the next line. Once the parent test</span>
  <span class="hljs-comment">// completes, it will cancel any outstanding subtests.</span>
  <span class="hljs-keyword">await</span> t.<span class="hljs-title function_">test</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'longer running subtest'</span>, <span class="hljs-keyword">async</span> (t) => {
    <span class="hljs-keyword">return</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">new</span> <span class="hljs-title class_">Promise</span>(<span class="hljs-function">(<span class="hljs-params">resolve, reject</span>) =></span> {
      <span class="hljs-built_in">setTimeout</span>(resolve, <span class="hljs-number">1000</span>);
    });
  });
});</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>The <code>timeout</code> option can be used to fail the test if it takes longer than
<code>timeout</code> milliseconds to complete. However, it is not a reliable mechanism for
canceling tests because a running test might block the application thread and
thus prevent the scheduled cancellation.</p>

<ul>
<li><code>enableOptions</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object" class="type">&#x3C;Object></a> Optional configuration options for enabling timer
mocking. The following properties are supported:
<ul>
<li><code>apis</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array" class="type">&#x3C;Array></a> An optional array containing the timers to mock.
The currently supported timer values are <code>'setInterval'</code>, <code>'setTimeout'</code>, <code>'setImmediate'</code>,
and <code>'Date'</code>. <strong>Default:</strong> <code>['setInterval', 'setTimeout', 'setImmediate', 'Date']</code>.
If no array is provided, all time related APIs (<code>'setInterval'</code>, <code>'clearInterval'</code>,
<code>'setTimeout'</code>, <code>'clearTimeout'</code>, and <code>'Date'</code>) will be mocked by default.</li>
<li><code>now</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type">&#x3C;number></a> | <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date" class="type">&#x3C;Date></a> An optional number or Date object representing the
initial time (in milliseconds) to use as the value
for <code>Date.now()</code>. <strong>Default:</strong> <code>0</code>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> When you enable mocking for a specific timer, its associated
clear function will also be implicitly mocked.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Mocking <code>Date</code> will affect the behavior of the mocked timers
as they use the same internal clock.</p>
<p>Example usage without setting initial time:</p>
