Getting Started with teatest in TypeScript: Test Your Terminal Apps, Keys, Waits and Golden Files

A from-zero guide to @oakoliver/teatest, the TypeScript port of Charm's testing library for Bubble Tea. Run a program headless, press keys, wait for output, check the final model, compare the whole output with a golden file, take the clock out of a test, and use it from bun test, node:test or Vitest. Every program runs.

Porting Go's teatest to TypeScript: Golden-File Tests for Bubble Tea Programs

Charm's teatest runs a Bubble Tea program headless, sends it keys, waits for its output and compares everything it wrote with a golden file. It is now a TypeScript package that works with bun test, node:test and Vitest. 137 tests, escaping and diffs checked against real Go, and a failure message made to be read.
