PIXL-UNIT(1)

✨ PIXL-UNIT ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for pixl-unit, living in the General Commands Manual section (that's section 1, for the uninitiated 💅). It's a very simple unit test runner for Node.js, and honestly? A whole vibe. Let's get into it.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This manual page documents briefly the pixl-unit command. And like — no cap — pixl-unit is a very simple unit test runner for Node.js. That's the whole pitch. It shows up, it runs your tests, it doesn't make a big dramatic thing of it. Love that for us. 🫶

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

so here's the tea ☕ — this program uses long options, which means they start with two dashes (--), and you place them at the end of the command-line. Like, at the end. Not first. At the end. Below is a summary of your options; for the full rundown you gotta go read the README.md file, iykyk. 📖✨

• --color n — Turns color output on with 1 or off with 0, using the chalk module to do it. Default: 1. (yes queen, the rainbow stays on by default 🌈)
• --delay n — Wanna insert a little pause between each test? Set this to however many seconds of delay you want. Default: 0. (a lil breather between performances 💅)
• --delay… okay no seriously, next one:
• --fatal n — Set this to 1 and it will exit immediately after the first assertion failure — stack trace included, no holding back 😭. Default: 0.
• --output filename.json — Point this at a file path and it'll emit a JSON report there. It works with quiet mode too, so you can be silent AND leave receipts. Default: "".
• --quiet — Suppresses all output to the console. Shhhh 🤫. Not a peep. (note: no default listed here, it's just a flag bestie)
• --threads n — The total number of threads to use when executing tests. Default: 1. Go parallel if you're feeling brave 🧚
• --times n — Run the tests a specified number of times. Default: 1. (run it again, and again, and again 🍓)
• --verbose — Enables verbose output to the console. For when you need the tea in full detail 👑

real talk: --fatal 1 genuinely bails on the first assertion failure, stack trace and all. That's the point. Don't be surprised when it dips early 💀
