Meteor: using npm packages for unit testing (instead of atmosphere packages)

I want to test my meteor app. Initially I wanted to use some atmosphere package, but it turns out that a lot (almost all of them) are no longer maintained.

Is there a way to use "pure" npm packages (like mocha or jest) in meteor app.

My initial logic for this is to npm install --save-dev what I need (e.g. mocha & chai) and then add a script in package.json that would perform the testing.

You can indeed do this. The only atmosphere package you need is dispatch:mocha. This is used by the standard meteor test framework (eg when running meteor test).

Mocha itself is an npm package, and whatever others you need such as enzyme, jest etc

Have a read of the Meteor guide on testing https://guide.meteor.com/testing.html

It explains the various kinds of testing available and how to run them.
