Summary

On a newly generated plugin template, running tests via npm run test gives weird output (as if no tests ran).

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Install SFDX, run sfdx plugins:generate. Smash enter/default options.
2. npm install
3. npm run test
4. Get output that looks like this.

Expected result

See test names, and actual code coverage info.

Actual result

I am also facing the same issue, any workarounds?

@amphro Hi Thomas, don't know if you'd seen this one already but we're looking to publish our DX plugin on NPM and VS Code Extensions this week and this is an issue we've also come across recently.

I had an old plugin I generated awhile back that IS giving me the actual test / mocha output. I will see if I can compare the dependency versions from there to the newest generator's dependencies, see if I can find any common links...

same issue on latest generator.

Update: If I change package.json dependencies to

  "dependencies": {
    "@oclif/command": "^1.8.0",
    "@oclif/config": "^1.17.0",
    "@oclif/plugin-help": "^3.2.0",
    "@oclif/errors": "^1",
    "@salesforce/command": "2.1.0",
    "@salesforce/core": "2.1.4",
    "tslib": "^1.13.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@salesforce/dev-config": "^1",
    "@oclif/dev-cli": "^1.22.2",
    "@oclif/test": "^1.2.6",
    "@types/chai": "^4.2.12",
    "@types/mocha": "^5.2.7",
    "@types/node": "^10.17.28",
    "chai": "^4.2.0",
    "globby": "^10.0.2",
    "mocha": "^5.2.0",
    "nyc": "^14.1.1",
    "rimraf": "^3.0.2",
    "ts-node": "^8.10.2",
    "typescript": "^3.6.4"
  },
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=8.0.0"
  },

It does work.

But had to also change tsconfig.json to have '"strictNullChecks": false' in it.
