Run tap/tape tests from within grunt

This plugin requires Grunt.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-tape --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-tape');

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named tape to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

module.exports = function (grunt) {
  grunt.initConfig({
    tape: {
      options: {
        pretty: true
        output: 'console'
      },
      files: ['test/**/*.js']
    }
  });
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-tape');
  grunt.registerTask('test', ['tape:pretty']);
  grunt.registerTask('ci', ['tape:ci']);
  grunt.registerTask('default', ['test']);
};

Type: Boolean Default value: true

When true, the TAP output will be output through faucet and pretty printed to the console.

Type: String Default value: console

Outputs the TAP output to stdout if the output is 'console'. Outputs the TAP output to options.file if the output is file''.

Type: String

When options.output is 'file', then this will be the file location that the TAP output gets written to.

In this example, the default options are used to run tests in tests/*.js

grunt.initConfig({
  tape: {
    options: {},
    files: ['tests/*.js']
  }
})

In this example, we write TAP to stdout:

grunt.initConfig({
  tape: {
    options: {
      pretty: false
    },
    files: ['tests/*.js']
  }
})

In this example, custom options are used to write the output to a file:

grunt.initConfig({
  tape: {
    options: {
      output: 'file',
      file: './output.tap'
    },
    files: ['tests/*.js']
  }
})
