Testing midi availablity in jest

[glend1]

Since the library now supports midi in node my testings is failing because i don't know how to test if midi is unavailable.

any ideas how i can stop midi working for testing?

The tests for the library itself rely upon the midi Node.js module. This module allows you to create and destroy MIDI ports at will and should work for your needs. You can check out the WebMidi.test.js file for an example.

Have you tried using midi-test from jazz-soft?

It has fewer requirements than node-midi because it mocks the midi implementation. It might be able to fix some of those commented out tests you have in that file. Should (theoretically) be faster too.

I've been trying to use it and I have hit some what of a brickwall (due to the way it possibly handles promises) so im curious if you've experimented with it and ditched it.

I have not tried it. I believe it had not yet been released when I chose to go with the midi package. I'm open to using it but, unfortunately, I have no time to dedicate to this right now. Let me know if you are ever able to fix the issues you are facing with it.
