ava avajs assertionerror global npx
Raw
ava-js-assertion-error.md

Running tests using the globaly installed ava@4.x produces this error:

$ ava test.js

  Uncaught exception in test.js

  AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: The expression evaluated to a falsy value:

    assert(refs.runnerChain)

This is not a VSCode issue, but this thread was useful and inspired the use of npx.

Fix: Instead of the globally installed version of ava, use npx ava test.js to run test.

$ npx ava test.js

✔ mytest › some test (10ms)
