0 test passing problem!

[harendra-shakya]

Hey, I am on 20:54:00, making tests for basic nft.

but when I am running my tests it is showing that

  0 passing (4ms)

Here is my test

const { assert } = require("chai")
const { network, deployments, ethers } = require("hardhat")
const { developmentChains } = require("../../helper-hardhat-config")

!developmentChains.includes(network.name)
    ? describe.skip
    : describe("unit test for basicNft", function() {
          describe("constructor", function () {
              let basicNft, tokenCounter;
              beforeEach(async function () {
                  await deployments.fixture(["basicNft"]);
                  basicNft = await ethers.getContract("BasicNft");
                  tokenCounter = await basicNft.getTokenCounter();
              })

              it("initailzes counter value correctly", async function (){
                  assert.equal(tokenCounter.toString(), "0");
              })
          })
      }) 

I even tried copy-pasting patricks code from repo but it still showing "0 passing".
Any solution for this guys??

It could be skipping your tests.

!developmentChains.includes(network.name)

are your developmentChains correct?

What you could do is, copy each file one by one to your repo and run the test till it works lol or each block of code similarly, until you figure it out. Honestly, I know its not ideal as far as field trouble shooting goes, but it might help.

It might make it easier to narrow down where the bug is.

I'd start with the entire test file, then the contract.

@harendra-shakya don't worry! These things happen. It's likely something silly.

...and you're going to love this. Change your tests folder to test.

[harendra-shakya]

Nooo!! Wasted so much time in this 😭😭
And what do you mean by I'm gonna love this? I'm crying and laughing at the same time, I'm confused should I laugh or cry on myself.

I'm confused should I laugh or cry on myself.

The correct answer is both LOL

Change the tests folder name to test

By integrating to @PatrickAlphaC answer, you can overwrite the location about your test folder with key called tests inside paths parent key in your hardhat.config.js.

Example:

Location Hardhat tests: {project_root_folder}/test/smartcontract

Hardhat.config.js

module.exports = {
  solidity: {
    version: "0.8.0",
    settings: {
      optimizer: {
        enabled: true,
        runs: 200
      }
    }
  },
  paths: {
    tests: "./test/smartcontract"
  }
};
