I thought tap was just a format for reporting test results? I think the problem is that we have some poorly written tests and the framework is not recovering well. Any reporting format is orthogonal (unless perhaps the bug is specific to the jasmine-html reporter, but I'm not sure there is any evidence of that).
That said, writing well behaving async tests can be difficult, so I would hope any test framework would do better to defend against that. Perhaps tape is better. During the big test migration I evaluated mocha (BDD style) as a replacement for jasmine-2.0 since the test definition format is really similar, but it had a silly limitation that made porting some tests difficult: no support for async describe() blocks, and could not nest it() blocks as a workaround. I don't recall the specific plugin(s) which had an issue with this. -Michal On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 3:05 PM, Marcel Kinard <cmarc...@gmail.com> wrote: > I haven't seen tap/tape until Brian mentioned it here.
