Is there a Testbench-like tool for Adonis package development?

Hi, gm 👋

I’m currently developing a package for Adonis v5 and ran into some challenges.
For example, let’s take building a passkey package:

In the test environment, I need to verify whether the package is working correctly:

• Check if the service provider is properly registered

• Test different config variations

• Validate whether the validation rules work

• Confirm if the router is registered

• Ensure migrations are auto-loaded and database data can roll back correctly

At the moment, I haven’t found any helper tools for this (or maybe I’m still too new to know what’s available — if so, please recommend some 🙏).

Without such support, it feels a bit painful to manually bootstrap the Adonis core every time just to test these scenarios.

In Laravel, there’s something like orchestral/testbench
, which allows package developers to focus on testing their packages without relying on the entire framework.

👉 Is there anything similar in the Adonis ecosystem that can help package developers speed up testing and contribute to the community more efficiently?

Hey @weretyczx! 👋🏻

We had AdonisJS Sink for AdonisJS 5.
