Update snapshots in `bun test`

Bun’s test runner supports Jest-style snapshot testing via .toMatchSnapshot().

snap.test.ts

import { test, expect } from "bun:test";

test("snapshot", () => {
  expect({ foo: "bar" }).toMatchSnapshot();
});

---

The first time this test is executed, Bun will write a snapshot file to disk in a directory called __snapshots__ that lives alongside the test file.

File Tree

test
├── __snapshots__
│   └── snap.test.ts.snap
└── snap.test.ts

---

To regenerate snapshots, use the --update-snapshots flag.

terminal

bun test --update-snapshots

test/snap.test.ts:
✓ snapshot [0.86ms]

 1 pass
 0 fail
 snapshots: +1 added # the snapshot was regenerated
