Installation

npm install --save-dev @stryker-mutator/core stryker-mutator-bun-runner

Quick Start

1. Initialize StrykerJS (if new project)

npx stryker init

Choose "bun" as your test runner when prompted.

2. Or manually create stryker.config.json

{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/@stryker-mutator/core/schema/stryker-schema.json",
  "packageManager": "npm",
  "testRunner": "bun",
  "plugins": ["stryker-mutator-bun-runner"],
  "mutate": ["src/**/*.ts", "!src/**/*.test.ts"],
  "coverageAnalysis": "perTest",
  "reporters": ["html", "clear-text", "progress"],
  "bun": {
    "testFiles": ["**/*.test.ts"],
    "timeout": 30000
  }
}

3. Run mutation testing

npx stryker run

4. View results

Open reports/mutation/mutation.html in your browser to see detailed results.

Configuration

Basic Options

Example Configurations

TypeScript Project

{
  "testRunner": "bun",
  "plugins": ["stryker-mutator-bun-runner"],
  "mutate": ["src/**/*.ts", "!src/**/*.test.ts"],
  "coverageAnalysis": "perTest",
  "bun": {
    "testFiles": ["src/**/*.test.ts"],
    "timeout": 30000
  }
}

Custom Test Command

{
  "bun": {
    "command": "bun test:unit --coverage"
  }
}

CI Environment

{
  "bun": {
    "timeout": 60000,
    "nodeArgs": ["--max-old-space-size=4096"],
    "env": {
      "CI": "true",
      "NODE_ENV": "test"
    }
  }
}

Performance Optimized with Process Pool

{
  "bun": {
    "processPool": true,
    "maxWorkers": 8,
    "testFiles": ["**/*.test.ts"],
    "coverageAnalysis": "perTest"
  }
}

Watch Mode for Development

{
  "bun": {
    "watchMode": true,
    "processPool": true,
    "maxWorkers": 2
  }
}

Snapshot Testing

{
  "bun": {
    "updateSnapshots": false,  // Set to true to update snapshots
    "testFiles": ["**/*.snapshot.test.ts"]
  }
}

Requirements

• Bun >= 1.0.0
• StrykerJS >= 9.0.0
• Node.js >= 20.0.0 (for StrykerJS)

Documentation

• 📖 User Guide - Comprehensive guide with examples and best practices
• 🔧 API Documentation - Detailed API reference
• 🚀 Example Project - Complete working example with 800+ mutants
• 🤝 Contributing Guide - How to contribute to the project

Performance Tips

1. Enable Coverage Analysis

{
  "coverageAnalysis": "perTest"
}

This can reduce test execution time by 80-90% by only running relevant tests for each mutant.

2. Use Specific File Patterns

{
  "mutate": ["src/**/*.ts", "!src/**/*.test.ts", "!src/**/*.d.ts"]
}

3. Parallelize in CI

{
  "concurrency": 4,
  "concurrency_comment": "Adjust based on your CI runner"
}

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Bun not found

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

Out of memory

{
  "bun": {
    "nodeArgs": ["--max-old-space-size=8192"]
  }
}

Timeout errors

{
  "bun": {
    "timeout": 60000
  }
}

See the troubleshooting guide for more solutions.
