Is it possible to exclude +page.test.ts ?

[frck006]

Describe the problem

Sveltkit fails with this message:

error when starting dev server:
Error: Files prefixed with + are reserved (saw src/routes/+page.test.ts)
at analyze (file:///C:/_app/frontend/node_modules/@sveltejs/kit/src/core/sync/create_manifest_data/index.js:383:10)

Describe the proposed solution

Possibility to exclude some files

Alternatives considered

No response

Importance

nice to have

Additional Information

Not really important, it's just to have
+page.svelte
+page.test.ts
close together in explorer.

I think sveltekit should continue treating all files with the + prefix as special route files and throw this error. The whole point of having runes in route file names was to delineate them as special for sveltekit, this would undo that and at that point why have a weird prefix for files at all

[frck006]

@madeleineostoja so what you suggest to call file name for tests of "+page.svelte" ? Simply like "page.test.ts ?
Do you have recommendations for +error.svelte, +page.ts ?

[gterras]

By simply removing + and adding a test or spec suffix to any file you would get a comprehensive structure. I'm not sure where the problem is here. Keeping + for non-router files would be incredibly confusing.

[madeleineostoja]

agree, dunno why this is still open

You can also use a different prefix char, eg -page.test.js to avoid the test files getting sorted far away from +page.js in a directory with some colocated files, so there is only a very minor inconvenience.

Adding an exception to the + files are special for sveltekit rule would require a more complex implementation and reduce the usefulness of being able to search for files starting with + to get a quick overview of your route files.

Closing as we reached consensus that we don't want to make an exception for tests here.
