NPM-TEST(1)

NAME
npm-test - Test a package

  Synopsis

    npm test [-- <args>]
    aliases: tst, t

  Description

This runs a predefined command specified in the "test" property of a package's "scripts" object.

  Example

    {
      "scripts": {
        "test": "node test.js"
      }
    }

    npm test
    > npm@x.x.x test
    > node test.js
    (test.js output would be here)

  Configuration

  ignore-scripts

    •   Default: false

    •   Type: Boolean

If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files.

Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as npm start, npm stop, npm restart, npm test, and npm run will still run their intended script if ignore-scripts is set, but they will not run any pre- or post-scripts.

Setting ignore-scripts also disables .npm-extension execution, as if ignore-extension were set.

  script-shell

    •   Default: '/bin/sh' on POSIX systems, 'cmd.exe' on Windows

    •   Type: null or String

The shell to use for scripts run with the npm exec, npm run and npm init <package-spec> commands.
