I will open a PR for the testing part soon, also for dependencies ;-)

@silvenon .. what do you think about this testing workflow? Open to discussion for all of you as well! 😉

I will improve the Unit testing with a real testing example (Mocha, Jest, Ava & Jasmine), as well I will cover the example with Cypress for e2e.

Note: You can ignore the creation files log, as this is only a test for the workflow and not a real implementation yet

Btw, I updated the name of the milestone to v4.0.0 because so far we have pre-releases, which means that the next stable release will be v4.0.0.

[silvenon]

what do you think about this testing workflow?

I like it!

[UlisesGascon]

Awesome! v4.0 then :-)

I will prepare the PR asap 🎉

[silvenon]

@UlisesGascon could you explain these two tasks?

• Refactor Jasmine (remove sub-generator)
• Refactor Mocha (remove sub-generator)

Are they referring to a discussion we had somewhere?

[silvenon]

I'd also remove the AVA task for v4.0.0 and leave it for v4.1.0, if you agree. Because it's a new feature that requires creating a new generator, and since this doesn't appear to be a highly requested feature I suggest not blocking a stable release of generator-webapp because of this.

@silvenon and interested people... can we move the discussion to PR #763? I think that it will be easier to discuss with some code ^^
