title: typecheck | Config outline: deep #

typecheck {#typecheck} #

Options for configuring typechecking test environment.

typecheck.enabled {#typecheck-enabled} #

• Type: boolean
• Default: false
• CLI: --typecheck, --typecheck.enabled

Enable typechecking alongside your regular tests.

typecheck.only {#typecheck-only} #

• Type: boolean
• Default: false
• CLI: --typecheck.only

Run only typecheck tests, when typechecking is enabled. When using CLI, this option will automatically enable typechecking.

typecheck.checker #

• Type: 'tsc' | 'vue-tsc' | string
• Default: tsc

What tools to use for type checking. Vitest will spawn a process with certain parameters for easier parsing, depending on the type. Checker should implement the same output format as tsc.

You need to have a package installed to use typechecker:

• tsc requires typescript package
• vue-tsc requires vue-tsc package

You can also pass down a path to custom binary or command name that produces the same output as tsc --noEmit --pretty false.

typecheck.include #

• Type: string[]
• Default: ['**/*.{test,spec}-d.?(c|m)[jt]s?(x)']

Glob pattern for files that should be treated as test files.

typecheck.exclude #

• Type: string[]
• Default: ['**/node_modules/**', '**/.git/**']

Glob pattern for files that should not be treated as test files.

typecheck.allowJs #

• Type: boolean
• Default: false

Check JS files that have @ts-check comment. If you have it enabled in tsconfig, this will not overwrite it.

typecheck.ignoreSourceErrors #

• Type: boolean
• Default: false

Do not fail, if Vitest found errors outside the test files. This will not show you non-test errors at all.

By default, if Vitest finds source error, it will fail test suite.

typecheck.tsconfig #

• Type: string
• Default: tries to find closest tsconfig.json

Path to custom tsconfig, relative to the project root.

typecheck.spawnTimeout #

• Type: number
• Default: 10_000

Minimum time in milliseconds it takes to spawn the typechecker.
