What are the current options for testing custom-built Meteor packages? Is there anything out there other than the built-in TinyTest?

Found this question from a year ago, but my question is specifically about testing Meteor packages, not your core app.

Has anyone used Laika for testing their own packages?

  • The guys at differential are writing a [book about testing](http://testingmeteor.com/) which will probably cover this answer in detail, but it's still a work in progress. – David Weldon Jun 11 '14 at 17:23
  • @DavidWeldon: Differential guys have joined efforts with [Sam Hatoum](http://stackoverflow.com/users/971615/sam-hatoum) and have released http://meteortesting.com - *the* book on testing nowadays. – Dan Dascalescu Nov 28 '14 at 01:09

Meteor's testing support is quite in flux at the moment (June 2014). I imagine most people will stick with Tinytest until the community develops a better solution that supports better UI tests and end-to-end tests.

https://github.com/xolvio/velocity is trying to unify a bunch of testing frameworks to have Meteor support. You may want to check out their progress at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/velocity-core.

  • Indeed, the state of testing for meteor seems a bit lacking currently. Thanks for pointing out velocity though. – ian Jun 11 '14 at 18:29

Velocity is now the officially sanctioned testing framework for Meteor, and there's a book about it - Meteor Testing.
