Setting up a fresh project and creating unit-testing + vitest fails

[apacha]

I've created a fresh Quasar project and wanted to add testing capabilities to the project with running

quasar ext add @quasar/testing

I've added both unit-testing with vite and e2e testing with cypress. However, when running

quasar test --unit vite

I get the error message that

You tried to run tests with vite, but it is not installed. Please install @quasar/quasar-app-extension-unit-vite with quasar ext add @quasar/testing-unit-vite

but that package can't be installed as suggested by the comment:

What did you get as the error?

'@quasar/quasar-app-extension-testing-unit-vite@*' is not in this registry.

What were you expecting?

A project that has unit-testing and e2e-testing correctly set up, such that I can start a new project.

Question regarding testing of Quasar apps

Is unit-testing something that Quasar supports? I mean I'm using Vite and Jest+Webpack is not an option. Vite+Vitest has been in Alpha for 2 years.

What is the recommended way of writing unit-tests with Quasar? Links to other up-to-date resources would be highly appreciated.

You're using the wrong name, you should use quasar test --unit vitest Vite is the bundler, not the test runner Also, please re-install the testing AE and Vitest AE, I just published a fix since it was fetching v0.1 instead of v0.3 of Vitest AE

About the "alpha" state of Vitest AE: we're just following Vitest own status Vitest is currently in v0.x status, which is usually referenced as alpha, so we're in alpha too

As soon as Vitest v1 is released, our Vitest AE will be released as stable too
