Description

This runs a predefined command specified in the "test" property of a package's "scripts" object.

Example

"scripts":{

}

}


npmtest

Configuration

`ignore-scripts`

Default: false
Type: Boolean

If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files.

Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as npm start, npm stop, npm restart, npm test, and npm run-script will still run their intended script if ignore-scripts is set, but they will not run any pre- or post-scripts.

`script-shell`

Default: '/bin/sh' on POSIX systems, 'cmd.exe' on Windows
Type: null or String

The shell to use for scripts run with the npm exec, npm run and npm init <pkg> commands.
