Notable:
- Typescript 5.6: iterator functions and more
- typescript-eslint 8: new rules, breaking change to some other, found a
few bugs/test not actually testing
- eslint 9: new rules
- removed deprecation/deprecation plugin as typescript eslint has rule
for it now(and updated) many places where it wasn't reporting correctly
Get rid of mocha and upgrade to vitest which is a more modern
alternative providing, watch, direct typescript compilation out of the
box, expect library and more.
Advantage over mocha:
- Much better cli
- watch mode
- better diff
- Better extension:
- tree organization for files too (not everything flattened)
- update in real time the test(no more need to refresh manually to
discover where are the tests)
- just a little buggy
- Compiles typescript directly
- provides more expectation apis(like jest)
Cons over mocha:
- Slower(about 2x) but that means we don't need to build the test as
part of build which would speed up that part(not as much as is lost)
Todo:
- typespec-azure migration
Playground usage was completely broken when used as a package. Local
reference seems to make it work but hwne the package is in node_modules
vite doesn't allow certain things
