Sorry, I have not enough time to dive into this.

Instead, to ugly-fix my needs, I made a loop over the submodule list grabbed from the modules list in .gitmodules

Ini = require('ini');
var config = Ini.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.normalize( localPath + '/.gitmodules'), 'utf-8'));
//if startswith submodule, push into modules
modules = [];
for (var i in config) {
    if (i.indexOf('submodule') === 0){
        modules.push(config[i]);
    }
}
for (var i in modules) {
    var modulePath = modules[i].path;
    Git.Submodule.lookup(repository, modulePath).then(function(submodule) {
        // Use submodule
        log.success("got submodule '" + submodule.path() + "'");
        try{
            submodule.init(1);
            log.success("submodule init worked");
        }catch(e){
            log.error("submodule init failed "+ e);
        }
        try{
            submodule.update(1,new Git.CheckoutOptions);
            log.success("submodule update worked");
        }catch(e){
            log.error("submodule update failed "+ e);
        }
    },function(err){
        log.error('cant get submodule : '+err)
    });
}

This doesn't need to be recursive, submodules of submodules are retrieved with the init or update function.

This is quite ugly but I'm posting it here if it can help anybody. Maybe one day I will dive into the writing of tests you talked about, but not now :)

have a good day,

Uh oh!
