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'
