Server side backbone testing

[mwball]

Hey everybody,

I'm working on a node project. On the client I'm using backbone, _,
jQuery, etc.

I want to write server side specs for my client side code so I've been
looking at jasmine-node.

For the dom I was looking at jsdom, but it's kind of driving me
crazy. Does anyone have an alternative suggestion for testing client
side code with node and jasmine, or node and something else?

Thanks,

Mike

Hey Mike,

The closest I've seen to a solution to this is what Spine is doing with Hem.  If you create a spine.js application you will be able run jasmine specs in a similar manner to how rails does it with the asset pipeline.  I'm thinking about trying to do something similar for backbone using browserify, but am not really working on any node projects right now so haven't had a good excuse.  But maybe you could tread some new ground here and be open-source famous :)

Wel thanks Chris, I'm learning right now and you just dropped Spine,
Hem and Browserify on me!

I'll continue on...
