Earlier this year, I wrote an article about Sass unit testing. As it turns out, Sass unit testing is a newer concept to many folks and has been quite a popular topic of conversation. Unit testing, which includes writing tests that ensure a piece of functionality, or “unit,” is working as expected, is something we’ve adopted in one of our enterprise-level design system projects. Unit testing ensures that code is compiling as expected and helps to catch output errors quickly, to name a few. Among why to unit test your Sass is knowing when to unit test Sass, which I explore in this video, an excerpt of a larger presentation I’ll be giving at CodeMash on Thurs., Jan. 10.
In this video, I expand on why and when to unit test Sass, giving a clearer understanding of specific situations to use it and when not to use it, as well as giving a real-life example of when we at Sparkbox could have benefitted from unit testing Sass in one of our projects, an enterprise-level design system.
In the full-length CodeMash presentation, you’ll also learn how unit testing is applied to Sass, how it can benefit your large project, and how to set it up in your own codebase.
