Hello, there yeoman community, I'm trying to test my generator according to the examples given on yeoman unit testing guide but I received unexpected behavior when running the test which shouldn't happen.
here is my code (I'm using AVA as the test runner)
test.serial.beforeEach(t => {
let prompts = {
name: "dummyName",
site: "dummySite",
description: "dummyDesc",
}
runner = yt.run(path.join(__dirname, "../generators/app"))
.inDir("test-workspace")
.withOptions({force: true})
.withPrompts(prompts);
return runner.toPromise();
});
test.afterEach.always(t => {
runner.cleanTestDirectory();
});so what I was expecting with the configuration is that yeoman-test will submit the stubbed prompts for the questions automatically and prepare the package.json it test-workspace directory.
instead of that the console output the first prompt question to be answered ...? suggest a name for the application? (proj-alpha-rc-01)
and
the test ends with a × Timed out while running tests
what could cause this behavior ?
Thank you @mshima for shedding some light to look inside the implementation code of code, then I understood that there is a nasty bug in my code.
instead of calling this.prompt(questions) in my custom generator's prompting runLoop event in generator API what I did was calling the prompt method directly on Inquirer API eventually recreating all again overwriting DummyPrompt.
And I think that it should be prompt = {name: "DummyName"} because at
yeoman-test#withPrompts it is extending this.answers object so the id of the entry should be the name given to each question which will be prompt.
Thank you for the direction.
I am installing Yeoman on my machine and ran this npm install -g yo This is giving me permission error:

I'm having some trouble using TypeScript with yeoman. My TypeScript source lives in ./generators/app, and is transpiled to ./out/generators/app. Because yeoman specifically looks for the "./generators" folder, it attempts to run the TypeScript file instead of the transpiled JavaScript file (which of course fails).
Is there any way to force yeoman to start the search at "./out" instead of "."?
rush is updated to generate different content, my yeoman generator will pick up those changes for free.

We wanted to have a visual approach to design projects,. write Templates in a text form and have the possibility to regenerate everything with the help of protected „own-code“ areas. We'd be so happy to get your feedback on this. Please try it out and hit me up on Intercom in the app itself, via email: paul.coch@generato.com, or simply right here. I'd love to hear what you have to say about it, what you like, what you don't like and how we can approve this to a better developer experience.
generator-your-unique-name, I named it using a scoped package name convention (I looked through you GitHub repository and saw that you added scoped package name support in your v2.4.0 release). However, my generator still isn’t showing up on the Yeoman website. Is there anything special/extra that I need to do for Yeoman to pick up my generator?
env.register(require.resolve('../generators/component1'),
oclif:component1);//await super.generate('component1');
env.run('oclif:component1', (err: any, stdout: any, stderr: any) => {
console.log(err);
});
