Migrate type tests to TSTyche

[mrazauskas]

Describe the feature request?

To draw your attention tsd-lite is deprecated. Currently tsd-lite is used via jest-runner-tsd to test types.

I was maintaining tsd-lite and helping with the runner too. Unfortunately the inner architecture of tsd is very limiting. To improve it I had to write a type test runner from scratch.

New or Affected Resource(s)

I would like to suggest migrating type tests to TSTyche. It is a new type testing tool which is replacing tsd-lite and jest-runner-tsd.

TSTyche has a lot of improvement:

• lightweight (no dependencies, TSTyche loads and uses TypeScript you already have installed),
• performant (just give it a spin),
• helpers like test() and describe() with .only and .skip run mode modifiers,
• familiar expect style assertions (with matchers like .toHaveProperty()),
• testing on specified versions of TypeScript: tstyche --target 4.8,latest.

Currently TSTyche is used by Immutable.js, Jest, Redwood and few more smaller projects (including my own packages).

Additional Information?

I can open a migration PR, if this sounds interesting.

Also I see that some other @okta packages are using tsd is some way. Probably this means you have to decide on tooling in organisation level. I can help migrating all tests to TSTyche, if you decide so.

I could find type tests in these packages:

• okta/okta-auth-js (replaces tsd and tsd-lite with tstyche #1510)
• okta/okta-jwt-verifier-js
• okta/okta-oidc-middleware
• okta/okta-react-native
• okta/okta-sdk-nodejs
• okta/okta-signin-widget

Thanks for response. If you decide to use TSTyche, I can help to migrate the tests.

Here are few samples of migration PRs:
