TestCafe v1.3.0 Released

This release introduces support for the custom TypeScript configuration file and includes numerous bugfixes.

Enhancements

⚙ Customize TypeScript Compiler Options (#1845)

Update: v1.3.1 disables automatic detection of the tsconfig.json file. See v1.3.1 release notes for more information.

TestCafe now allows you to specify the TypeScript compiler options in the tsconfig.json configuration file. You can use these options to enable JSX compilation, import code or typings with paths aliases, set aliases to React typings, or customize other compiler settings.

Define the compilerOptions property in tsconfig.json and specify the compiler options in this property:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "jsx": "react",
        "jsxFactory": "myFactory",
        "alwaysStrict": true
    }
}

Save this file to the directory from which you run tests (or use the tsConfigPath setting in the main configuration file to specify a different location).

See Customize Compiler Options for more information.
