I don't fully I agree. This seems like it has it's place, but there is very high value in a Unit Test that can run with no dependencies outside of your compiler/interpreter. Especially in interpreted languages -- to catch whatever the linters may miss. The moment you need to access the network, you depend on everything that comes with the network (outages can happen);
Need a DB -- well then you need to start it, prime it; maybe you need a container/etc. That's just a ton of overhead to validate that your steps are working, and that your code is clean. Maybe for a small project this works, if you only have one layer of testing. |
