# Node.js Core Tests
This directory contains code and data used to test the Node.js implementation.
For a detailed guide on how to write tests in this
directory, see [the guide on writing tests](../doc/contributing/writing-tests.md).
On how to run tests in this directory, see
[the contributing guide](../doc/contributing/pull-requests.md#step-6-test).
For the tests to run on Windows, be sure to clone Node.js source code with the
`autocrlf` git config flag set to true.
## Test Directories
| Directory | Runs on CI | Purpose |
| ---------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `abort` | Yes | Tests that use `--abort-on-uncaught-exception` and other cases where we want to avoid generating a core file. |
| `addons` | Yes | Tests for [addon][] functionality along with some tests that require an addon. |
| `async-hooks` | Yes | Tests for [async\_hooks][async_hooks] functionality. |
| `benchmark` | Yes | Test minimal functionality of benchmarks. |
| `cctest` | Yes | C++ tests that are run as part of the build process. |
| `code-cache` | No | Tests for a Node.js binary compiled with V8 code cache. |
| `common` | _N/A_ | Common modules shared among many tests.[^1] |
| `doctool` | Yes | Tests for the documentation generator. |
| `es-module` | Yes | Test ESM module loading. |
| `fixtures` | _N/A_ | Test fixtures used in various tests throughout the test suite. |
| `internet` | No | Tests that make real outbound network connections.[^2] |
| `js-native-api` | Yes | Tests for Node.js-agnostic [Node-API][] functionality. |
| `known_issues` | Yes | Tests reproducing known issues within the system.[^3] |
| `message` | Yes | Tests for messages that are output for various conditions |
| `node-api` | Yes | Tests for Node.js-specific [Node-API][] functionality. |
| `parallel` | Yes | Various tests that are able to be run in parallel. |
| `pseudo-tty` | Yes | Tests that require stdin/stdout/stderr to be a TTY. |
| `pummel` | No | Various tests for various modules / system functionality operating under load. |
| `sequential` | Yes | Various tests that must not run in parallel. |
| `testpy` | _N/A_ | Test configuration utility used by various test suites. |
| `tick-processor` | No | Tests for the V8 tick processor integration.[^4] |
| `v8-updates` | No | Tests for V8 performance integration. |
[^1]: [Documentation](../test/common/README.md)
[^2]: Tests for networking related modules may also be present in other directories, but those tests do
not make outbound connections.
[^3]: All tests inside of this directory are expected to fail. If a test doesn't fail on certain platforms,
those should be skipped via `known_issues.status`.
[^4]: The tests are for the logic in `lib/internal/v8_prof_processor.js` and `lib/internal/v8_prof_polyfill.js`.
The tests confirm that the profile processor packages the correct set of scripts from V8 and introduces the
correct platform specific logic.
