I am working on Sails JS for a large project and trying to write unit tests in it.
I am not too happy with the support for unit testing in Sails. It takes a good 7-10 seconds before it starts running the test cases, there is no out-of-the-box support for fixtures as well.
Are there any frameworks that can handle test cases in a more efficient way?
Sails had a bad reputation in a lot of NodeJS circles. Most people use express/koa and use knex or pg-promise.
We're going to release Lad beta soon (uses Koa), https://lad.js.org. Right now our tests use ava, which runs in parallel. Feel free to join our Slack.
