#Overview

The Shorthands Plugin for Pest provides additional functions for skipping and focusing tests. These additional functions are just like the test functions but with a single letter prefix for quick usage.

#Installation

Install the plugin using Composer:

$ composer require thled/pest-plugin-shorthands --dev

#Usage

Just add an x prefix on the test function to skip the test. I.e.

xit('should be skipped', function () {
// ...
});

Shorthands for skipping:

  • xit()
  • xtest()

Same goes for focusing a test by prefixing it with f.

Shorthands for focusing:

  • fit()
  • ftest()
