Loading modules in JsTestDriver

[Ken Cooper]

I'm using JsTestDriver to test code written for Parse's CloudCode, and as the project grows, I'm segmenting the code into modules. Some of the modules have nested dependencies (e.g. a common util module), so they need to load recursively. Some of these modules are loaded by various tests, so I need to figure out how to load them from JsTestDriver.

Parse CloudCode uses a common.js style require(), which I'm attempting to emulate when running in the context of the browser. I've implemented the emulation like so:

    function require(filename)

    {

        var savedExports = window.exports;

        window.exports = {};

        // open and send a synchronous request

        var xhrObj = new XMLHttpRequest();

        xhrObj.open('GET', filename, false);

        xhrObj.send('');

        // add the returned content to a newly created script tag

        var se = document.createElement('script');

        se.type = "text/javascript";

        se.text = xhrObj.responseText;

        document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(se);

        var returnVal = window.exports;

        window.exports = savedExports;

        return returnVal;

    };

Sadly, the response text is never the requested module .js file, but always a full html document for the test harness itself. My jsTestDriver.conf contains the following entries:

load:

  - test/lib/parse-1.2.13.js

  - test/lib/require-lite.js

  - cloud/utils.js

  - cloud/backgroundJob.js

  - cloud/models/*.js

test:

  - test/*.js

serve:

  - cloud/*.js

  - cloud/models/*.js

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Try adding '/test/' to the filename. All the test and serve resources are exposed under that prefix.

Thanks, Cory.
