Description
Most of our test suite is running pretty fast, with individual tests finishing under 100ms. However, there are also several slow tests that take more than 1 second to finish. These tests are typically end-to-end/acceptance-level tests that are running running child processes, npm install and so on. As a result, npm test takes too long to complete (about 3 minutes on my machine).
Let's find a way how to reorganize our code base so that these slow tests can be put into "acceptance" or "end-to-end" group, excluded from npm test and have a dedicated CI job to run them in parallel with other CI tasks, as we are already doing for acceptance/repository-mysql and friends. (Alternatively, we can run the slow acceptance tests after the faster tests passed succesfully.)
- For example, we can introduce new package(s) in the
acceptancefolder, e.g.acceptance/cli-e2e-testsand move the slow tests there. This should be easy to implement, but requires more work to introduce e2e tests for new packages. - Create a new directory-layout convention for acceptance/end-to-end tests, so that we can keep e2e tests inside each package alongside other tests, but still be able to exclude these tests from monorepo-level
npm test. For example, we can introducesrc/__acceptance__directory for such tests.
Personally, I think the second option is much better.
List of very slow tests
Tests that take longer than one second to complete, sorted from the slowest:
- app-generator (SLOW) passes
npm testfor the generated project: 12441ms - Benchmark (SLOW) works: 4352ms
- lb4 relation generates model relation for existing property name verifies that a preexisting property will be overwritten: 2675ms
- lb4 relation add new controller to existing index file check if the controller exported to index file : 2026ms
- lb4 relation add controller to existing index file only once check if the controller exported to index file only once: 1961ms
- cloneExampleFromGitHub (SLOW) extracts project files: 1869ms
- lb4 relation updates property decorator when property already exist in the model: 1566ms
- lb4 relation HasOne rejects relation when source key already exist in the model: 1362ms
- lb4 relation HasOne Execute relation with existing relation name rejects if the relation name already exists in the repository: 1344ms
- lb4 relation HasMany Execute relation with existing relation name rejects if the relation name already exists in the repository: 1325ms
- lb4 relation rejects relation when destination model doesn't have primary Key: 1320ms
- tsdocs runs api-extractor: 1280ms
- lb4 relation HasMany rejects relation when source key already exist in the model: 1254ms
- lb4 copyright with git updates copyright/license headers with options: 1239ms
- lb4 copyright for monorepo updates copyright/license headers: 1205ms
- build compiles ts files: 1046ms
- Application rejects division by zero with 412 error: 1022ms
Nice to have
- Investigate why are
lb4 relationtests so slow. Do they have expensive setup? Can we find a more efficient way how to test the relation generator?

Piste de recherche
Commencez par inspecter la configuration de npm test au niveau du monorepo et la configuration CI existante de acceptance/repository-mysql. Examinez les tests lents listés et comparez les options d’organisation de acceptance/cli-e2e-tests et src/__acceptance__. Le travail est terminé lorsque les tests rapides ne s’exécutent plus dans npm test, tandis qu’une tâche d’acceptation dédiée ou un job CI exécute les tests lents.
