This can be achieved with https://www.npmjs.com/package/c8 Not sure if censoring this would be the right thing

@MoLow Thank you, I am sorry I missed that. This seems to be a resolution. It would be great if this package would be mentioned in the documentation, maybe here https://nodejs.org/api/test.html if it is not a problem. We may also close the request

I don't think the node core documentation should include links to userland packages - for various reasons, but mainly there are a lot of opinions and ways to do things and node should not prefer one over another

Agreed with @MoLow that highlighting some packages might create the wrong impression and understanding. A usual recommendation of mine: Check the Awesome Node.js GitHub repository. They cover a lot of specifics and common packages to achieve certain tasks 😄

@MoLow, @ovflowd sure, thanks for your reply, all that make sense.
