Painless, a lightweight and straightforward testing framework for both Node.js and browser environments, saw a notable update with the release of version 0.2.0 following the initial stable version 0.1.0. Developers considering painless for their testing needs will find that version 0.2.0 introduces several key changes, primarily in its dependencies. Most significantly, version 0.2.0 incorporates Babel (babel-preset-es2015) and zen-observable and promise-polyfill opening doors for testing modern JavaScript syntax including ES2015 features and asynchronous code utilizing observables and promises.
The older version 0.1.0 leaned on inherits, polyfill-function-prototype-bind, and resumer, dependencies absent in the newer version. These removals suggest a shift towards more modern and streamlined code practices in version 0.2.0. Both versions share common ground, retaining dependencies like glob, setasap, and through for core functionality. They also maintain consistent development dependencies such as chai for assertions, concat-stream for stream handling, eslint for linting, falafel for AST manipulation, js-yaml for YAML parsing, and tap as a test harness.
The upgrade from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0 represents an evolution in painless, accommodating newer JavaScript standards and paradigms. Developers embracing ES2015+ and asynchronous patterns should favor version 0.2.0 for a more aligned and feature-rich testing experience. Both versions, however, continue to offer a painless entry point to testing.
