Status of Buster.js

[Maxim Lacrima]

Hello!

What is the current of Buster?
I would like to start using it. Is the repository on gitorious stable enough? Is there any getting started documentation or something like that?

Thanks in advance.

The fact that it took me almost three weeks to notice this message should tell you something :)

The gitorious repos have a stable-ish buster-static (Qunit) and a very stable buster-test for node. The unstable part is buster-server, the browser automator (JsTestDriver style).

Thanks to the release of Mocha, we're currently working harder than ever on the release of 1.0 beta of buster, so stay tuned..

Do you have something planned for Mocha, or is it competition?

[August Lilleaas]

We'd love to integrate with Mocha somehow. And if Mocha wants browser automation, we'd love if they used our buster-capture-server project, which is completely reusable and generic.

Buster.JS can also currently run JsTestDriver tests, and adding support for Mocha tests probably wouldn't be that hard.

Anything specific you had in mind?

But yeah, I guess we're competition. But competition is always good. It was the release of Mocha that made us speed up the process of getting the Buster.JS beta out asap ;)

The zombie has awoken :-)

I have started looking into Buster again and I was wondering if there was a somewhat documented way, if any, of reusing tests written using Mocha? This old thread was the closest I have found. Thought there perhaps might be an equivalent adapter for another framework I can look into for inspiration/ripping-off, should I decide to dig into the matter myself.
