Server Orchestration for E2E Tests

JSON →
library 2.1.0 ·javascript
verified May 27, 2026

The `with-server` package is a command-line utility and programmatic API designed to orchestrate local server startup, command execution (typically end-to-end tests), and server shutdown. It automatically handles port allocation via the `$PORT` environment variable, waits for the server to become ready, and exposes `$SERVER_URL` to the executed command. It offers options to specify the server's start script and control output redirection. The current stable version is 2.1.0, with releases appearing infrequently, driven by feature additions or critical maintenance, such as the major Node.js version bump in v2.0.0. It's a focused tool for e2e testing workflows, abstracting away the complexities of server lifecycle management during test runs, differentiating itself by its simplicity and direct integration with npm scripts.
