Running the tests

Setup

Go through the setup instructions for JavaScript to install the necessary dependencies.

Requirements

Install assignment dependencies:

# Using npm
npm install

# Alternatively using yarn
yarn

Making the test suite pass

All exercises come with a test suite to help you validate your solution before submitting. You can execute these tests by opening a command prompt in the exercise's directory, and then running:

# Using npm
npm test

# Alternatively using yarn
yarn test

In some test suites all tests but the first have been skipped.

Once you get a test passing, you can enable the next one by changing xtest to test.

Writing custom tests

If you wish to write additional, custom, tests, create a new file custom.spec.js, and submit it with your solution together with the new file:

exercism submit numbers.js custom.spec.js

Submitting your solution

You can submit your solution using the exercism submit amusement-park.js command. This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.

It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:
