Making it easy to run the tests

Now that we have two test suites for the Notes application, how do we easily run them?

One way is to add a test script to the package.json file:

"scripts": {
    "start": "node app",
    "test": "node test/test-model.js; node test/test-routes-notes.js"
 },

On Windows this will be a little bit different:

"scripts": {
    "start": "node app",
    "test": "node test/test-model.js & node test/test-routes-notes.js"
 },

Now we can run both suites together, like so:

$ npm test

> application-name@0.0.1 test /Users/david/filez/chap09/notes
> node test/test-model.js; node test/test-routes-notes.js

····· ✓ OK » 5 honored (1.935s) 
··· · ✓ OK » 4 honored (0.004s)

On Windows you might create a batch file, named test.bat, containing something like this:

node test\test-model.js
node test\test-routes-notes.js

Or you could use a Makefile. Put the following into a file named Makefile:

test: /tmp
  node test/test-model.js
  node test/test-routes-notes.js

You, of course...
