node:test changes, matching Node 24.22:
- t.assert.snapshot(value[, options]) serializes the value with Node's
default serializer, JSON.stringify(value, null, 2), or with an
options.serializers array literal applied in order, and compares it
with assert.strictEqual against the snapshot stored under
"<test full name> <n>" in "<entry file>.snapshot".
- t.assert.fileSnapshot(value, path[, options]) compares the serialized
value with the contents of path.
- Snapshot files are read in the form Node writes them, exports[`key`] =
`value`; statements, with template escapes and CRLF line endings
cooked as in a template literal.
- Missing snapshots, unreadable snapshot files and throwing serializers
throw Node's ERR_INVALID_STATE errors, with Node's messages.
- Running the binary with Node's --test-update-snapshots flag as its
first argument records the values and writes the snapshot files after
the last test, keys sorted as Node sorts them. The flag is kept out of
process.argv and appears in process.execArgv, which is otherwise [].
- Snapshot assertions count toward the test's plan.
The snapshot fixture compares the reporter output with Node, plain and
with SCRIPTC_SAN=1, against a snapshot file Node wrote. The update-mode
harness test runs Node and the binary with --test-update-snapshots and
compares the files they write. The node:test normalization also drops
the "... N lines matching cause stack trace ..." line Node prints for an
error cause, with the stack frames it summarizes.
