#include

• Type: string[]
• Default: ['**/*.{test,spec}.?(c|m)[jt]s?(x)']
• CLI: --include '**/*.test.ts' --include '**/*.spec.ts'

A list of glob patterns that match your test files. These patterns will be resolved relative to the root (process.cwd() by default).

npx rstest --include '**/*.{test,spec}.?(c|m)[jt]s?(x)'

import { defineConfig } from '@rstest/core';

export default defineConfig({
  include: ['**/*.{test,spec}.?(c|m)[jt]s?(x)'],
});

You can run npx rstest list --filesOnly to see the list of test files that Rstest will include.

$ npx rstest list --filesOnly

# the output is shown below:
a.test.ts
b.test.ts

#Default behavior

By default, Rstest will include all javascript / typescript files with .test. or .spec. suffix in the filename.

The following is a visualization of the default pattern:

├── __tests__
│   └── index.test.js # test
│   └── App.spec.tsx # test
│   └── helper.ts # not test
├── src
│   └── component.ts # not test
│   └── component.test.tsx # test
├── bar.spec.jsx # test
├── index.test.js # test
└── index.js # not test

It should be noted that if you specify index.test.ts as the include pattern, Rstest will only include index.test.ts in the root directory. If you want to include index.test.ts in all subdirectories, you need to use **/index.test.ts.

import { defineConfig } from '@rstest/core';

export default defineConfig({
-  include: ['index.test.ts'],
+  include: ['**/index.test.ts'],
});

It should be noted that for a single extension you should write **/*.ts instead of **/*.{ts}. The underlying glob libraries treat single-value braces literally, so **/*.{ts} will not match .ts files.
