SES-Ava wraps Ava test functions and initializes the SES-shim with options suitable for debugging tests. This includes logging errors to the console with

• deep stacks of prior turns
• unredacted stack traces
• unredacted error messages

To use this module, in your Ava test files, replace

import 'ses'; // or however you initialize the SES-shim
import test from 'ava';

with

import test from '@endo/ses-ava/prepare-endo.js';

and add

  "devDependencies": {
    // ...
    "@endo/ses-ava": "...", // for the current version of @endo/ses-ava
    // ...
  },

specifically to "devDependencies". @endo/ses-ava itself depends on Ava as a regular dependency, so it you include @endo/ses-ava as a regular dependency, bundlers might bundle your code with all of Ava.

SES-Ava rhymes with Nineveh.

If you were already using @endo/ses-ava by doing

import 'ses'; // or however you initialize the SES-shim
import rawTest from 'ava';
import { wrapTest } from '@endo/ses-ava';

const test = wrapTest(rawTest);

that code will continue to work. But it should be upgraded to the above pattern if possible.
