using asar fiddle file

#100

what improvement should i do
am i doing right ?

• I used asar to unpack file 1st
• and then used fromFolder function on extracted files
• using temp dir

[hachimetsu]

i used my most of the time to just create test case for asar and still not done so i just created a pull request

i only done changes in src/fiddle.ts file
added the fromASAR function
which unpack asar content to tempDir and then call fromFolder on tempDir

@erickzhao can i also help i would like to learn how to create test case

[hachimetsu]

what should i do in test case ?

I know how to make a test case pass, but then it doesn't behave like a real test case anymore.

A test case should show an error if there's one, but I'm unsure what conditions would constitute an error in this situation.

i did search about api-extractor i did not created a new pull because i want to compete the test case part too

Do you mean a negative case? You can simply use not before condition, e.g. expect(fiddle!.mainPath).not.toBe(asarPath), but I don't think it's needed anyway? The test case could be structured like reads fiddles from gists test:

• create the fiddle from asarPath
• make sure the Fiddle object is created
• make sure the mainPath of the fiddle is exist and has a basename of main.js
• make sure the fiddle is kept in the fiddle cache

You can be more rigorous by making sure the file list and files' content are identical by comparing it with fiddleFixture('642fa8daaebea6044c9079e3f8a46390') just like in the reads fiddles from local folders test.

thanks for suggestion

For Case Running Fiddle from Local Dir

we test if mainPath in fiddle object is same as provided path
and there content are same or not

what should be done For ASAR case:-

asarPath: path to asar file (example fiddle-core/tests/fixtures/fiddle.asar)
mainPath: path to dir where content from asar get extracted (example fiddle-core-running-temp-path/extract/temp/fiddle)
for now what i did for test

• provided path asarPath exist or not
• extracted content have main.js
• to make sure fiddle extract is in fiddle cache

NOTE

Should i compare extracted content to the content of dir which is used to create asar because i did use test example to create asar so this can be done

but then testing of asar will depend on content of example fiddle if in future fiddle example get changed then asar file must be create from that example

I m implementing all of this, so let me know if some one get any more idea or suggestion on this

Yeah that might happen. I have an idea, what about archiving the fiddleFixture('642fa8daaebea6044c9079e3f8a46390') as ASAR on the fly when testing it? Save it in tmpdir and let asarPath points to it. Then you can create fiddle fromASAR with it. Don't worry about cleaning up, afterEach(()=>{fs.removeSync(tmpdir);}) already done the cleaning job for you.
