Where should be put our fozzie test files?

[oliversweb]

What should be the standard?. do we put all the fozzie unit tests in a tests folder off of root or do we create a tests folder next to each file/s we are testing and add the unit tests to it?

Take into consideration: we most probably have a test helper file/s that are imported into most test files for test data, etc. plus the length of import paths

We've had this discussion in the past and the consensus then was to place unit tests close to the unit under test in a _tests directory.

This would still be my preference otherwise you end up either replicating the folder structure for the tests or get into a muddle if all files are in a single directory and multiple units have the same filename (think index.js etc).

Having the tests close to the unit under test also makes them really easy to find.

Agree with @DamianMullins - unit tests should reside close to the logic under test, as you are often editing the logic/unit tests together.

Where would you put the test helper files that are used by most/all the tests?

Also mentioned in that older thread — global util/helpers should go at the root of the project (or the root of the front-end code directory).
