Vitest Jetbrains Plugin

Overview

The Vitest Runner plugin is designed for developers who use WebStorm and want to enhance their testing workflow with Vitest. Although this plugin has been marked for deprecation, it serves as a temporary solution until the official support for Vitest is implemented directly in WebStorm. With its user-friendly interface, this plugin simplifies running and debugging tests, making it easier for developers to manage their testing processes efficiently.

By integrating seamlessly with WebStorm’s environment, the Vitest Runner provides several features that enhance the test-running experience. Its capabilities include visual feedback for test outcomes and the organization of test statistics, which can significantly streamline a developer's workflow.

Features

• Simple Test Execution: The green Run icon allows you to execute tests a single time, promoting quick checks without the need for intricate configurations.

• Watch Mode: When you utilize the Vitest Run icon, you can debug tests or run them in watch mode, ensuring that your testing process remains dynamic and responsive to changes.

• Test Failure Detection: The plugin intelligently changes the run icon to red upon test failures, allowing for quick identification and resolution of issues.

• JSON Reporter Integration: It integrates the Vitest JSON reporter, making it easy to utilize test results stored in the .vitest-result.json file to analyze outcomes.

• Test Statistics ToolWindow: A dedicated tool window displays comprehensive test statistics sourced from the .vitest-result.json file, facilitating an organized overview of test performance.

• Working Directory Resolution: The Vitest Runner effectively identifies the working directory based on the project structure defined in package.json, making it adaptable for various project setups.

• Debug Support: It offers robust debug support for Vitest, accelerating the troubleshooting process during development.
