Testing#

Because Rspack uses a mix of Rust and Node.js code, different testing strategies are used for each.

Rust Testing#

Running Rust Tests#

You can run the Rust code's test cases using ./x test rust or cargo test.

Writing Rust Tests#

Test cases are written within the Rust code. For example:

fn add(a: u8, b: u8) -> u8 {
  a + b
}

#[test]
fn test_add() {
  assert_eq!(add(1, 2), 3);
}

For more information, please refer to: Rust: How to Write Tests

Node.js Testing#

Node.js testing provides three test suites:

• Webpack Testing: Running Webpack test cases using Rspack
• Webpack Plugin Testing: Running test cases of native supported plugins using Rspack
• Rspack Testing: Running test cases of Rspack itself

Webpack Testing#

Rspack copied the whole Webpack test suite to the tests/webpack-test folder to check the compatibility of webpack. If you need to add new test cases, it is recommended to first check if the case has been exists in this folder. You can enable a test case by removing the test.filter.js file or modifying its return value to true.

You can run Webpack tests by running ./x test webpack or pnpm run test:webpack at the root folder.

For more details, please refer to: Webpack Testing.

Rspack Testing#

Rspack's test cases are stored in the packages/rspack-test-tools/tests folder, including unique test cases and cases that require modification for Webpack and Webpack plugins.

You can run Rspack tests by running ./x test unit or pnpm run test:unit at the root folder.

You can also go to the packages/rspack-test-tools folder and run npm run test to run test cases and add some arguments:

• When refreshing test snapshots is needed: Add -u, like npm run test -- -u
• When filtering test cases is needed: Add -t, like npm run test -- -t config/asset to only run test cases from the packages/rspack-test-tools/configCases/asset folder (config will be automatically mapped to configCases, and other folders work similarly). Pattern matching supports regex, see jest for details.

For more details, please refer to: Rspack Testing.

Webpack Plugin Testing#

Due to implementation differences and performance considerations, Rspack will internally support some Webpack plugins. Similarly, the test suites for these plugins are copied to the tests/plugin-test folder to test the compatibility of the plugins.

You can run Webpack plugin tests by running ./x test plugin or pnpm run test:plugin at the root folder.
