remove redundancy in node.config schema keys #60904
Description
What is the problem this feature will solve?
Notice below how in the current schema, the namespaces "test" and "watch" are redundantly specified. This is the result of mapping the CLI args as-is.
{
"$schema": "https://nodejs.org/dist/vX.Y.Z/docs/node-config-schema.json",
"test": {
"test-concurrency": 3
"test-isolation": "process"
"test-timeout": 5000
"test-rerun-failures": true
"test-only": true
"test-force-exit": false
"test-name-pattern": "^iso"
"test-skip-pattern": "tree$"
"test-global-setup": "setup-module.mjs"
"experimental-test-coverage": true
"test-coverage-exclude": "test/**"
"test-coverage-include": "src/**"
"test-coverage-branches": 100
"test-coverage-functions": 100
"test-coverage-lines": 100
"test-reporter": ["dot", "spec", "lcov"]
"test-reporter-destination": ["stdout", "test.report", "lcov.info"]
"experimental-test-module-mocks": true
"test-update-snapshots": true
},
"watch": {
"watch-preserve-output": true
"watch-path": "./src"
}
}
What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?
Instead, the namespace part of the CLI arg could automatically be mapped to a namespace within the config schema:
{
"$schema": "https://nodejs.org/dist/vX.Y.Z/docs/node-config-schema.json",
"test": {
"concurrency": 3
"isolation": "process"
"timeout": 5000
"rerun-failures": true
"only": true
"force-exit": false
"name-pattern": "^iso"
"skip-pattern": "tree$"
"global-setup": "setup-module.mjs"
"experimental-coverage": true
"coverage-exclude": "test/**"
"coverage-include": "src/**"
"coverage-branches": 100
"coverage-functions": 100
"coverage-lines": 100
"reporter": ["dot", "spec", "lcov"]
"reporter-destination": ["stdout", "test.report", "lcov.info"]
"experimental-module-mocks": true
"test-update-snapshots": true
},
"watch": {
"preserve-output": true
"path": "./src"
}
}
Note that for "experimental-" CLI args, the mapped namespace occurs after that prefix.
We can take it a step further, apply the idea recursively, as below. This has the added of benefit fixing how destinations are specified when there are multiple test reporters.
{
"$schema": "https://nodejs.org/dist/vX.Y.Z/docs/node-config-schema.json",
"test": {
"concurrency": 3
"isolation": "process"
"timeout": 5000
"rerun-failures": true
"only": true
"force-exit": false
"name-pattern": "^iso"
"skip-pattern": "tree$"
"global-setup": "setup-module.mjs"
"experimental-coverage": {
"exclude": "test/**"
"include": "src/**"
"branches": 100
"functions": 100
"lines": 100
}
"reporter": {
"dot": {"destination": "stdout"}
"spec": {"destination": "test.report"}
"lcov": {"destination": "lcov.info"}
}
"experimental-module-mocks": true
"update-snapshots": true
},
"watch": {
"preserve-output": true
"path": "./src"
}
}
