My Bad Start

[axio]

I've been trying to get JsTestDriver going but have been unable to run
my tests.

I am running Windows Vista, and java.exe is on the path (as I can run
it from anywhere).
Both the jsTestDriver.conf and JsTestDriver-1.2.2.jar are located at a
path with no spaces, hereafter referred to as installPath.

To execute the program I have opened up the windows command line (cmd)
and changed directory to installPath.
I have been able to start the server and capture browsers without any
problems using the command
installPath>java -jar jsTestDriver-1.2.2.jar --port 9876 --browser
"pathToFirefox"

However when I then do the following:
installPath>java -jar jsTestDriver-1.2.2.jar --tests all
I get an exception "No server defined!".

I tried manually setting the config path by adding --config
"installPath\jsTestDriver.conf" but this did not change anything.

I also tried jsTestDriver-1.2.1.jar, but this did not change anything.

The contents of jsTestDriver.conf are:
server: http://localhost:9876

load:
- testing/*.js


The full exception is here:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebSite3\Tests>java -jar JsTestDriver-1.2.2.jar --
config "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebSite3\Tests\jsTestDriver.conf" --tests
all

java.lang.RuntimeException: Oh Snap! No server defined!

76)
at com.google.jstestdriver.JsTestDriver.main(JsTestDriver.java:
79)
Unexpected Runner Condition: Oh Snap! No server defined!

Unfortunately I don't have a java development environment so I can't
debug this manually, however I did take a look at the source and that
exception implied the port was wrong which didn't really make sense to
me.

I can only assume I've missed something simple somewhere...

Your help is most appreciated

Thanks

So I got hold of the source code and Eclipse and lo and behold...

The jsTestDriver.conf was a UTF-8 file (since that's what my text
editor defaults to) rather than ANSI as expected by jsTestDriver.

The net result was that the Yaml.load() call on line 39 of
YamlParser.java returned a mangled key for server: instead of creating
a key called 'server' it created one called '###server' where ### are
the ef bb bf characters that prefix a UTF-8 file (in Windows at
least...).

It would be nice if jsTestDriver handled opening UTF-8 files in
Windows. I don't know what Java has built into it to handle this.

Thanks

I'm still getting this error no matter how hard I try.

I've downloaded the source code files and have used the jsTestDriver.conf file provided (which should be set-up in ANSI mode?) and I still get that error about a server not being defined.

I've just seen someone else here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/js-test-driver/K3ImAJ6F5CY/kJAWuT4A_EkJ having a similar issue and the solution was to manually set --server http://localhost:4224 (which by the way worked!)

But why is this .conf not working and not being recognised in the correct format by Mac OSX?
