Why is Python Unittest file not discovered?

It is annoying when your current Python test function or file is not discovered in your editor (VSCode or PyCharm) especially when all other tests are discovered but only current one is not discovered i.e. no option to run test function directly from the editor and there is no error also.

It is assumed you have already setup proper unit test configurations. The goal is to get exact reason why test method is not discovered. If there is any syntax error related to test method, then it might not be included. This post explains how to recognize and troubleshoot the issue.

Visual Studio Code: Debugging ES6 Mocha tests with Babel

In my post, I explained how to test server side REST APIs in Node.js using Mocha, Sinon and Chai. I used ES6 test methods for this and Babel is used to execute it. As test methods are executed at development end, so NO need to transpile ES6 to ES5 first and then debug the converted files. You can directly debug ES6 code with Babel.

API Versioning, Express Routers and Node.js

Do you want to set up an API versioning in Node.js and Express environment? This tutorial explains the different ways to do REST API versioning step by step. We will implement the following routing for the versioning:

GET /api/v1.0/
POST /api/v1.0/
GET /api/v2.0/

Visual Studio Code: Setting Environment Variable for Tasks

Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is a lightweight, open-source code editor and available on Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows. One of the key features of Visual Studio Code is its great debugging support for Node.js (JavaScript and TypeScript) and another feature is to run Tasks(Grunt, Gulp, MSBuild…etc.) from the IDE. If you are new to VSCode, I would recommend to see following video which shows how to debug Node.js app, put break-point and use watch window, use environment variable in Visual Studio Code editor:
