Typescript support

[vforv]

It would be good if we can changed default runner... Instad node to use ts-node... Is that possible?

[geek]

I don't want to make it the default. But we could possibly add ts-lab that uses ts-node...

[vforv]

That would be great. Currenly we need to compile typescript files, then to run lab and on the end to delete js files. And with lint command we don't access to ts files just to plain js...

Maybe also you can add it as a argument... Something like this lab --runner=ts-node, if that possible...

Another option is to use ts-node test/ to run your tests

I am able to perform test like this:
ts-node server.test.ts
But then I have problem with options from lab:
lab -a code -t 100 -L -v -T
I don't know how to add test coverage and linting?

One note:
I found this module: lab-transform-typescript
And I am able to use it something like this:
lab -a code -t 100 -L -v -T ./node_modules/lab-transform-typescript
But linting and test coverage not working as expected.

What issues do you run into with test coverage?

[vforv]

I cover with test some part of code but it still marked as not covered. For linting I add some dummy code like var test = "unused", but it is not detected after run test.

@vforv can you provide more details to help me reproduce, some example code and more details on your setup (versions)

@geek I created github repo hapi-seneca-ts... It is starter for seneca, hapi and typescript. Here is repo:
https://github.com/vforv/hapi-seneca-ts

Check readme file how to run it and run tests. Also if there is something that I can imporve or add pls open tickets, I am glad to hear new suggestions...

[geek]

@vforv I ran the tests in api-gateway and see 96% coverage, what lines are showing they are missing coverage but are actually covered?

[vforv]

plugins/routes/index.ts missing coverage on line(s): 22, 23, 24

It is plugin function:

private _register(server: HapiServer, options: any) {
        // Register
        return 'register';
}

But I think I cover it with this test(test/routePlugin.ts):

 L.test('Route plugin should work', (done) => {

        expect(plugin['_register']).to.be.a.function();
        expect((plugin as any)._register()).to.be.a.string();  //HERE
        done();
    });

Also lint not detect when I add some junk code...
