Serving additional resources with glob with buster server

[Ryan Schmidt]

Hello. In my tests, running in browsers using buster server, I want to access some png files that are in my test folder. From the docs I gather that I need to add a resources section to my buster.js config file:

http://busterjs.org/docs/configuration/#properties

It says "A resource can be a string, i.e. a glob pattern/file name, or an object." But I was unable to locate a glob example. My rootPath is '../' and my tests are currently ['test/*test.js']. So what would I need to add to serve all test/*.png files? And then, under what URL do I then access them in my tests? The docs say I use buster.env.path; would it just be buster.env.path + '/foo.png' or would it be buster.env.path + '/test/foo.png' or something else?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can serve the images by using the glob you used in this email :) Resources are resolved from the root path, so your config would include this:

rootPath: "../",
resources: ["test/*.png"]

Then, like you guessed, in the tests you can reach these images by using

buster.env.path + "/test/foo.png"

Let me know if you have any problems using this.

Thank you; I was making this harder than it needed to be. It's working fine.

I think I learn best by example, so for others like me, it might help if you had an example in your documentation showing, say, how all of the *.css files in a directory could be loaded and served as resources.

Definitely. Care to take a stab at the example? http://github.com/busterjs/buster-docs :)
