A satirical Node.js library that detects when tests are running on a CI server and forces them to pass, inspired by the Volkswagen emissions scandal. It works by intercepting test failures and exit codes whenever a CI environment variable is detected.
Use cases
- make my tests always pass on CI
- detect when tests run in a CI server
- prank CI build that never fails
- add an evergreen passing build badge to my README
- suppress test failures in Jenkins or Travis
When to choose
- you want a joke library or satire about CI culture
- you need a gag demo for a talk about test integrity
When to avoid
- any real project where tests should reflect actual code health
- production pipelines where failures must be surfaced
- anything beyond novelty or educational use
