What should I use instead of qunitjs?
The same project continues under the name qunit. qunit is close enough to a drop-in replacement that most projects only change the dependency and the import.
How to migrate from qunitjs to qunit
Replace the qunitjs dependency with qunit at the matching 2.x version; no test code changes are needed for the rename itself.
Why qunitjs is on this list
QUnit reclaimed the qunit name on npm in 2017. The qunitjs package carries a notice saying 2.4.1 is the last version published under that name and that future updates require switching to qunit. The official QUnit documentation now tells users to run npm install --save-dev qunit.
The succession is settled: primary sources agree and the ecosystem has already moved.
qunitjs alternatives
The dataset lists no second option: qunit is where the ecosystem went, and nothing else has meaningful adoption.
Check your own project for qunitjs
npx dead-deps --all --min-state unmaintainedRun that in the directory holding your lockfile. If qunitjs is anywhere in your tree — a direct dependency or buried under something else — it appears in the report with this verdict, this successor and the same evidence links, alongside anything else that has stopped moving. Nothing is uploaded; the scan reads your lockfile locally and queries public registry metadata.
Exit code 1 means something was flagged, which makes npx dead-deps --min-state deprecated usable as a CI gate. See how verdicts are produced.
