Project constraints

The project that wants to use this action should implement unit tests grouping them using describe statements. Each describe statement will be mapped to a requirement.

Example:

describe('requirement #1' () => {
  it('unit test1', () => {});
  it('unit test2', () => {});
  it('unit test3', () => {});
});

describe('requirement #2' () => {
  it('unit test1', () => {});
  it('unit test2', () => {});
  it('unit test3', () => {});
});

describe('requirement #3' () => {
  it('unit test1', () => {});
  it('unit test2', () => {});
  it('unit test3', () => {});
});

Project repository must create a file called requirements.json inside .trybe folder.

This file should have the following structure:

{
  "requirements": [{
    "description": "requirement #1",
    "bonus": false
  }, {
    "description": "requirement #2",
    "bonus": true
  }, {
    "description": "requirement #3",
    "bonus": false
  }]
}

where the "requirement #1", "requirement #2" and "requirement #3" are the requirements and describes names.
