Are there any examples of how to test services or controllers? I figure I'd have to use the Dependency macro, but I'm unsure how.

I want to do something like this. The first print will work but the second does not.

export = () => {
    it("player should load", () => {
        print("BBBBBB"); 
        const playerService = Dependency<PlayerService>();
        playerService.onPlayerAdded(blah).catch(error);
        print("AA");
    });
};

export = () => {
    it("player should load", () => {
        print("BBBBBB"); 
        const playerService = Dependency<PlayerService>();
        playerService.onPlayerAdded(blah).catch(error);
        print("AA");
    });
};

I'm assuming using the Dependency macro is not advised here?

I think littensy had an example of jecs running in play mode

I looked pretty good I think, most of the repos are Luau or just using Jest w no Flamework.

https://github.com/littensy/rbxts-jest-test/blob/main/test/spec.server.lua#L1 Im pretty sure you can just run this in a .server.ts file that's the only way beacuse flamework cant start if the game isnt running

Yeah I understand that part I already have the whole system down using TestEZ It's just using the dependency macro inside of the testing export yields infinitely or something. It doesn't throw an error

maybe its the environment mocking try printing _G outside and inside tests check if its the same one

Mk I'll give it a try ["__TESTEZ_RUNNING_TEST__"] = true Not the same one. When I use the macro outside of the export I get this error upon running the test.

const playerService = Dependency<PlayerService>(); // Error is from here.

export = () => {
    it("player should load", () => {
        print("BBBBBB");
    });
};

const playerService = Dependency<PlayerService>(); // Error is from here.

export = () => {
    it("player should load", () => {
        print("BBBBBB");
    });
};
