AVA now requires Node.js versions 18.18, 20.8 or 21. Versions 14 and 16 are no longer supported. #3251#3216
When tests finish, worker threads or child processes are no longer exited through proces.exit(). If your test file does not exit on its own, the test run will time out. #3260
Watch mode can no longer be started via the ava.config.* or package.json configuration.
The ignoredByWatcher configuration has moved to the watchMode object, under the ignoreChanges key.
Watch mode now uses the built-in fs.watch() in recursive mode. This is supported on Linux in Node.js 20 or newer, and MacOS and Windows in Node.js 18 as well. There are caveats to keep in mind.
Failed assertions now throw, meaning that any subsequent code is not executed. This also impacts the type definitions. #3246
Changes to modules loaded through the require configuration #3184:
If such modules export a default function, this function is now invoked.
Local files are loaded through @ava/typescript if necessary.
Improvements
Rewritten watcher
The watcher has been rewritten. It’s now built on fs.watch() in recursive mode.
@vercel/nft is used to perform static dependency analysis, supporting ESM and CJS imports for JavaScript & TypeScript source files. This is a huge improvement over the previous runtime tracking of CJS imports, which did not support ESM.
Integration with @ava/typescript has been improved. The watcher can now detect a change to a TypeScript source file, then wait for the corresponding build output to change before re-running tests.
The ignoredByWatcher configuration has moved to the watchMode object, under the ignoreChanges key.
Assertions now throw a TestFailure error when they fail. This error is not exported or documented and should not be used or thrown manually. You cannot catch this error in order to recover from a failure, use t.try() instead.
All assertions except for t.throws() and t.throwsAsync() now return true when they pass. This is useful for some of the assertions in TypeScript where they can be used as a type guard.
Committing a failed t.try() result now also throws.
t.throws() and t.throwsAsync() can now expect any error
By default, the thrown error (or rejection reason) must be a native error. You can change the assertion to expect any kind of error by setting any: true in the expectation object:
