Migrate init templates to createTester API and update ESLint to latest standard by Copilot · Pull Request #9596 · microsoft/typespec

Copilot · 2026-02-05T16:25:34Z

Migration Complete: Update init templates to use new testing framework ✅

Changes Made

Reverted test runner imports from vitest back to node:test to keep templates minimal
Fixed path resolution: Changed resolvePath(import.meta.dirname, "..") to resolvePath(import.meta.dirname, "../..") to account for dist/test/ structure
Removed duplicate emit option in emitter test-host (already in .emit() chain)
Updated ESLint configuration to latest standard:
- Replaced @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin and @typescript-eslint/parser with unified typescript-eslint package (v8.49.0)
- Uses defineConfig from eslint/config instead of tsEslint.config for consistency with root config
- Added common rule for unused vars with underscore prefix pattern
- Uses modern flat config format
Added changeset for the compiler package documenting the internal changes
Fixed library-ts template tests:
- Removed .using() from tester chain (added manually in tests instead)
- Used @test decorator instead of t.code templates for simpler, more reliable tests
- Fixed type assertions to use as unknown as { test: Operation; program: Program }
- All template E2E tests now pass

Summary

Successfully migrated both library-ts and emitter-ts init templates to the new createTester testing framework while keeping templates minimal and using the latest ESLint standards with defineConfig from eslint/config. All E2E tests passing.

@copilot revert vitest, templates should try to keep using the bare minimum

Reverted vitest imports to node:test in both templates. The snapshots have been regenerated with the bare minimum test runner. (commit: cb97df5 → current)

@copilot the e2e test for the compiler templates are failing with

...

Fixed the E2E test failures:

Removed .using() from tester chain in test-host.ts (added manually in each test instead)
Used @test decorator with proper type assertions instead of complex t.code templates
Fixed type assertion: as unknown as { test: Operation; program: Program }
All library-ts template tests now pass (commit: 46659d8 → current)
