Tests/Tynitest

[Stefano Diem]

I was reading a little bit about meteor roadmap, at http://roadmap.meteor.com, and started reading the "official testing framework" card. In this card it says that for now "authors can use tinytest (the test framework that's used to test the core packages.)".

The thing is that there is no documentation for this packages under meteor, and i had no luck googling for it. Anyone knows where it is documented or if there is a tutorial that explains how to set it up?

Hugs,

Specifically, *package* authors can use tinytest now --- it doesn't particularly work for apps.

tinytest is not yet documented, but you can see it in action from a meteor checkout.  "cd packages; meteor" and go to http://localhost:3000/ --- you'll see Meteor's internal test suite in action. To run just one package's tests, cd into its specific package directory.  The tests are declared in the on_test section of package.js.

Since Meteor doesn't officially support third-party packages (yet! but see the roadmap), there's no directly supported way to test them, but I'm pretty sure the Meteorite folks got something working.

Yes, Tom Coleman released a version of Meteorite recently that enabled testing packages with Tinytest

Any updates in the meantime? What tweaks are required to use tinytest to test apps?
