Re: [jasmine-js] Node and backbone testing with jasmine

[Doug Reeder]

FWIW, I considered jasmine-node for testing my backend, but went with Vows instead.  The syntax is different, but asynchrony is handled more readably.

Hi all, Jasmine testing noob here, I have a Node app with a Backbone front end.  If I install jasmine-node (https://github.com/mhevery/jasmine-node), will I be able to test both my front end app and my backend node app?  

Can anyone point me to any resources that could help me get started?  i.e. how to best structure my tests, frontend vs backend tests, best practice for folder structure, etc?

Thanks, any help is appreciated!

You can write both your node specs and browser specs using Jasmine but will use different runners. For example, we're using jasmine-node for server-side specs and jasmine-headless-webkit for client-side. 

Regarding the comment about async syntax, jasmine-node includes an extension to jasmine that works well with node's async callback apis (https://github.com/mhevery/jasmine-node#async-tests).
