# Node.js Core Test Common Modules

This directory contains modules used to test the Node.js implementation.

## Common Module API

The `common` module is used by tests for consistency across repeated
tasks.

### allowGlobals(...whitelist)
* `whitelist` [<Array>] Array of Globals
* return [<Array>]

Takes `whitelist` and concats that with predefined `knownGlobals`.

### arrayStream
A stream to push an array into a REPL

### busyLoop(time)
* `time` [<Number>]

Blocks for `time` amount of time.

### canCreateSymLink
API to indicate whether the current running process can create
symlinks. On Windows, this returns false if the process running
doesn't have privileges to create symlinks (specifically
[SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb530716(v=vs.85).aspx)).
On non-Windows platforms, this currently returns true.

### crashOnUnhandledRejection()

Installs a `process.on('unhandledRejection')` handler that crashes the process
after a tick. This is useful for tests that use Promises and need to make sure
no unexpected rejections occur, because currently they result in silent
failures.

### ddCommand(filename, kilobytes)
* return [<Object>]

Platform normalizes the `dd` command

### enoughTestMem
* return [<Boolean>]

Check if there is more than 1gb of total memory.

### expectsError([fn, ]settings[, exact])
* `fn` [<Function>] a function that should throw.
* `settings` [<Object>]
  that must contain the `code` property plus any of the other following
  properties (some properties only apply for `AssertionError`):
  * `code` [<String>]
    expected error must have this value for its `code` property.
  * `type` [<Function>]
    expected error must be an instance of `type` and must be an Error subclass.
  * `message` [<String>] or [<RegExp>]
    if a string is provided for `message`, expected error must have it for its
    `message` property; if a regular expression is provided for `message`, the
    regular expression must match the `message` property of the expected error.
  * `name` [<String>]
    expected error must have this value for its `name` property.
  * `generatedMessage` [<String>]
    (`AssertionError` only) expected error must have this value for its
    `generatedMessage` property.
  * `actual` <any>
    (`AssertionError` only) expected error must have this value for its
    `actual` property.
  * `expected` <any>
    (`AssertionError` only) expected error must have this value for its
    `expected` property.
  * `operator` <any>
    (`AssertionError` only) expected error must have this value for its
    `operator` property.
* `exact` [<Number>] default = 1
* return [<Function>]

  If `fn` is provided, it will be passed to `assert.throws` as first argument
  and `undefined` will be returned.
  Otherwise a function suitable as callback or for use as a validation function
  passed as the second argument to `assert.throws()` will be returned. If the
  returned function has not been called exactly `exact` number of times when the
  test is complete, then the test will fail.

### expectWarning(name, expected)
* `name` [<String>]
* `expected` [<String>] | [<Array>]

Tests whether `name` and `expected` are part of a raised warning.

### fileExists(pathname)
* pathname [<String>]
* return [<Boolean>]

Checks if `pathname` exists

* `buf` [<Buffer>]
* return [<ArrayBufferView[]>]

Returns an instance of all possible `ArrayBufferView`s of the provided Buffer.

### globalCheck
* return [<Boolean>]

Turn this off if the test should not check for global leaks.

### hasCrypto
* return [<Boolean>]

Checks for 'openssl'.

### hasFipsCrypto
* return [<Boolean>]

### hasIPv6
* return [<Boolean>]

### hasMultiLocalhost
* return [<Boolean>]

Checks if there are multiple localhosts available.

### hijackStderr(listener)
* `listener` [<Function>]: a listener with a single parameter
  called `data`.

Eavesdrop to `process.stderr.write` calls. Once `process.stderr.write` is
called, `listener` will also be called and the `data` of `write` function will
be passed to `listener`. What's more, `process.stderr.writeTimes` is a count of
the number of calls.

### hijackStdout(listener)
* `listener` [<Function>]: a listener with a single parameter
  called `data`.

Eavesdrop to `process.stdout.write` calls. Once `process.stdout.write` is
called, `listener` will also be called and the `data` of `write` function will
be passed to `listener`. What's more, `process.stdout.writeTimes` is a count of
the number of calls.

### inFreeBSDJail
* return [<Boolean>]

[WHATWG URL API](https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_the_whatwg_url_api)
implementation with tests from
[W3C Web Platform Tests](https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests).
