Vitest

1. Download and install Node.js.

2. Make sure the JavaScript and TypeScript plugin is enabled in the settings. Press CtrlAlt0S to open settings and then select Plugins. Click the Installed tab. In the search field, type JavaScript and TypeScript. For more information about plugins, refer to Managing plugins.

• In the embedded Terminal (AltF12) , type:

  npm install --save-dev vitest

• Click or in the gutter and select Run <test_name> from the list.

  

  You can also see whether a test has passed or failed right in the editor, thanks to the test status icons and in the gutter.

• To debug a test, set a breakpoint inside it, click or in the gutter and select Debug <test_name> from the list.

  

  In the Debug tool window, examine the suspended test and step through it.

  

1. Open the Run/Debug Configuration dialog (Run | Edit Configurations in the main menu), click in the left-hand pane, and select Vitest from the list. The Run/Debug Configuration: Vitest dialog opens.

   tip

   Alternatively, select a test file in the Project tool window Alt01 and select Create <filename> from the context menu.

2. Specify the Node.js interpreter to use.

   If you choose the Project alias, GoLand will automatically use the project default interpreter from the Node interpreter field . In most cases, GoLand detects the project default interpreter and fills in the field itself.

   You can also choose another configured local interpreter or click and configure a new one.

   Optionally specify the Node.js-specific option parameters and the environment variables to be passed to Node.js.

3. Specify the location of the vitest package.

4. Specify the working directory of the application. By default, the Working directory field shows the project root folder. To change this predefined setting, specify the path to the desired folder.

5. Specify the tests to run. This can be a specific test or suite, an entire test file, or a folder with test files.

6. By default, vite.config.ts is used. If vite.config.ts is missing, or you want to use a custom configuration, specify the vitest.config.ts to use. Learn more from the Vitest official website.

7. Optionally:

   Configure rerunning tests automatically on changes in them or in the related source files. To do that, add the --watch flag in the Vitest options field.

   You can also add other Vitest options. For more information, refer to the Vitest official website.

8. Optionally:

   In the Node options field, type the Node.js-specific command-line options to be passed to the Node.js executable file. The acceptable options are:

   • Use --require coffeescript/register to have CoffeeScript files compiled into JavaScript on the fly during run.

     This mode requires that the register.js file, which is a part of the coffeescript package, is located inside your project.

   • Use --inspect or --inspect-brk parameter for Chrome Debugging Protocol support.

1. Select the Vitest run/debug configuration from the list of configurations and click   in the list or on the toolbar.

   

2. Monitor test execution and analyze test results in the Test Runner tab of the Run tool window. For more information, refer to Explore test results.

   

To debug tests, set breakpoints where necessary, select the run/debug configuration, and click .

• Click on the test results toolbar. GoLand will execute all the tests that failed during the previous session.

  

• To rerun a specific failed test, select Run <test name> on its context menu.

For more information, refer to Rerunning tests.

1. Open a Vitest run/debug configuration or create a new one as described above.

2. In the Vitest options field, type --watch. In the autogenerated All tests configuration, the --watch option is already specified.

3. Launch the run/debug configuration. If some tests fail, you can update them or related test subjects without stopping the test session. As soon as your changes are saved, GoLand detects them and reruns the affected tests.

   In the example below, the test at line 29 of vue.test.ts fails. With the --watch option, the test is rerun after you replace '4 x 4 = 18' with '4 x 4 = 16' in vue.test.ts an save the changes with Ctrl0S or move the focus from GoLand.

Install @vitest/coverage-v8 or istanbul. To do that, open the built-in Terminal AltF12 and type one of the following:

• npm install --save-dev @vitest/coverage-v8

• npm install --save-dev @vitest/coverage-istanbul.

Learn more from Coverage on the Vitest official website.

1. Run a specific suite or a test with coverage from the editor: click or in the gutter and select Run <test_name> with Coverage from the list.

   

   Alternatively:

   Create a Vitest run/debug configuration as described above. Select the Vitest run/debug configuration from the list on the main toolbar and click  to the right of the list.

2. Monitor the code coverage in the Coverage tool window. The report shows how many files were covered with tests and the percentage of covered lines in them. From the report you can jump to the file and see what lines were covered – marked green – and what lines were not covered – marked red:
