# JavaScript tests with expected output
|
||||
|
||||
Tests in test/message pass if the output matches the expected output. Message
|
||||
tests are particularly useful when checking for exact error messages.
|
||||
|
||||
Tests and their expected output must have the same filename, with the `.js` and
|
||||
`.out` extension.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
foo.js
|
||||
foo.out
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**All tests must end with an exception**. The test runner does not
|
||||
handle output from multiple runs, e.g., `--stress-opt`. Without an exception,
|
||||
the output will be generated several times and the comparison will fail.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use a regex in the expected output. Instead of the exact
|
||||
path. use
|
||||
```
|
||||
*%(basename)s:7: SyntaxError: Detected cycle while resolving name 'a'
|
||||
```
|
||||
Empty lines are ignored in the comparison, but whitespaces are not.
|
||||
|
||||
Exact details of the test runner are in [testcfg.py](testcfg.py).
