Edd Yerburgh - Unit testing Vue components Why test, what to test, and how to test Vue components

[@B3lzeboss]

Edd is a amazing developer, I follow his job since avoriaz, congratz for the talk

[@edwardwardell-yerburgh378]

I was so focussed on the talk, I didn't notice my cursor was in the middle of the screen! 😂

[@somascope1834]

Hah! I didn't either for a good while. But I was distracted by your excellent talk. Thanks for this - looking forward to your book this summer.

[@PJo336]

Is the book released yet?

[@edwardwardell-yerburgh378]

It's released on an early access program-www.manning.com/books/testing-vuejs-applications. It will be released fully this Summer

[@PJo336]

Awesome! It is rare to find a huge book on exactly the niche topic you wanted , you are the man!

[@DemanaJaire]

Love your accent. Makes listening to you so much more enjoyable.

[@tomvoorneveld]

Excellent. Really!
Question: starting to wonder why you don't write tests in the same SFC file ... ?

[@leopiccionia]

You can do it! Edd himself wrote vue-test-loader, that extracts the content of tags into *.spec.js files.

[@tomvoorneveld]

leopiccionia thank you... Would you have Pointer to pros and cons discussion for this approach?

[@edwardwardell-yerburgh378]

Hi Tom, the pro is that your tests are inside the component they're testing! That's powerful colocation. The downside is that not all editors provide highlighting to blocks.
