Refactor unit tests from Tape to Jest or Mocha

Open zone117x opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Jest and Mocha have clearly beaten out Tape as the unit testing framework for the ecosystem.

Tape makes large codebases with complex unit tests needlessly painful for DX:

  • Zero support in the tooling ecosystem: editors, test explorers, visualization, reporting, etc.
  • Poor Typescript support.
  • Poor async/await/Promise support.
  • No parallelization support.
