vitest-bdd 0.1.0 Released

We’re excited to announce the first stable release of vitest-bdd. This plugin brings Gherkin-style BDD testing to Vitest, making it easier to write readable, maintainable tests that describe behavior in plain language.

What is vitest-bdd?

vitest-bdd is a simple Vitest plugin that enables you to write tests using Gherkin syntax. This approach makes your tests more accessible to both technical and non-technical team members, creating a shared language for describing expected behavior.

Key Features

• Gherkin Support: Write tests using Given-When-Then syntax
• TypeScript First: Full TypeScript support with type safety
• Vitest Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Vitest’s existing features
• Simple API: Minimal setup required to get started

Getting Started

Install the plugin:

pnpm add -D vitest-bdd

Configure it in your vitest.config.ts:

import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';
import vitestBdd from 'vitest-bdd';
 
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vitestBdd()],
});

Example

Feature: User authentication
 
Scenario: Successful login
  Given a user with email "user@example.com"
  When the user logs in with password "password123"
  Then the user should be authenticated

What’s Next?

We’re actively working on improving the plugin and adding more features. Check out the GitHub repository for updates and contributions.
