Get the name of the package that TinyTest is testing

I need to determine the name of the Meteor package that a given test file is currently testing, so that I can derive the path to assets. For example, if we're testing fortawesome:fontawesome, the assets will be accessible at /packages/fortawesome_fontawesome/.

How can I get the name of the very package that TinyTest is testing?

package.js:

Package.onTest(function (api) {
  api.use(packageName, where);
  api.use(['tinytest', 'http'], 'client');

  api.addFiles('test.js', 'client');
});

test.js:

var packageName = ???;
HTTP.get('/packages/' + packageName.replace(':', '_') + '/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff');
Solution

  • I haven't found an API call for this, but the Package object contains all loaded packages, including one that starts with local-test, which has so far been the tested package:

    enter image description here

    Therefore,

    var packageName = _.find(Object.keys(Package), function(p) {
  return p.search(/local-test/) > -1
}).replace('local-test:', '');

    Note however that for some mysterious reason, the local-test:<your_package> package isn't loaded before the first Tinytest call, so careful where you place the code above.
