skip | QUnit API Docs

`QUnit.skip( name )`

Adds a test like object to be skipped

parameter	description
`name` (string)	Title of unit being tested

Description

Use this method to replace QUnit.test() instead of commenting out entire tests.

This test’s prototype will be listed on the suite as a skipped test, ignoring the callback argument and the respective global and module’s hooks.

Example

How to use skip as a placeholder for future or temporarily broken tests.

QUnit.module( "robot", {
  beforeEach: function() {
    this.robot = new Robot();
  }
});

QUnit.test( "say", function( assert ) {
  assert.strictEqual( this.robot.say(), "Exterminate!" );
});

// Robot doesn't have a laser method, yet, skip this test
// Will show up as skipped in the results
QUnit.skip( "laser", function( assert ) {
  assert.ok( this.robot.laser() );
});

Using modern syntax:

const { test, skip } = QUnit;

QUnit.module( "robot", {
  beforeEach() {
    this.robot = new Robot();
  }
});

test( "say", function( t ) {
  t.strictEqual( this.robot.say(), "Exterminate!" );
});

// Robot doesn't have a laser method, yet, skip this test
// Will show up as skipped in the results
skip( "laser", function( t ) {
  t.ok( this.robot.laser() );
});
