Use espower-typescript on non-testing code
Opened this issue · 4 comments
Hello,
I'd like to use power-assert on non-testing code (I mean it's normal server-side code) of TypeScript + Node.js. I couldn't find a proper way to do that (an example included in README of this project is using mocha) and am also very newbie about power-assert technology, so I randomly tried by myself and found a way.
Could you please review it? I'd like to contribute by creating a good example or adding usage to README so that other people who have same purpose can easily use this library.
Here's the example (somewhat working but maybe not ideal). Is it an intended or acceptable way?
https://github.com/qsona/power-assert-typescript-node-seed/pull/1/files
- running code with
ts-node --require tsnodeconfig.ts
- run
require('espower-typescript')
and call it withpattern
option intsnodeconfig.ts
@qsona At first glance, it looks like working, but internally, ts-node has been registered twice.
Because espower-typescript registers ts-node internally.

TypeScript compiles one file twice, but in the second compilation, it does not change the JS code, so it looks like working as a result.
- TS source -> JS source
- JS source -> JS source (no changes in your sample code)
I do not know if it will not cause some problems when compiled multiple times in other cases.
So I think it's better to bootstrap with node
instead of ts-node
.
$ cp tsnodeconfig.ts tsnodeconfig.js
$ node --require ./tsnodeconfig.js src/index.ts
