Re: How to add files from the app server into my tests

[Vojta Jína]

Hey Daniel,

you don't have application.js in the config file, so the file is not loaded.
So add "../*.js" or something into your config file.

Did you know, you can let testacular watch the files and automatically
run, when anything change ?
autoWatch = true;

It can autostart browsers as well, so that you don't have to do it:
browsers = ['Chrome', 'PhantomJS'];

Hey Daniel,

it's better if you let testacular to serve it - it takes advantage of
heavy caching and reloading only files that has actually changed.
And you don't wanna start rails server in order to do JS unit testing...

My advice is to separate the JS stuff generated by rails, into a
single file + have static version of it (mock) to enable quick unit
testing.
Then, all you have to do in order to unit test, is just executing
"testacular config.js" and start editing your files (it can capture
browser in the background and run tests whenever you change any file)
- that's what you want !

Anyway, you can serve urls as well, just add into the config:
'http://localhost:3000/js/application.js'


Btw your msgs get moderated, I guess that's because you are not member
of this mailing list ?
You can join the group and select, no email - than, you should be fine
posting...

Hi

I've moved over to my mailing list email so hopefully it shouldn't get moderated.

I've added this as a test to my config file, but it doesn't seem to be working :(

files = [

  JASMINE,

  JASMINE_ADAPTER,

  'http://localhost:3000/assets/application.js',

  '*_spec.js',

  '*/*_spec.js'

];

The browser tries to load

/absolutehttp://........

Is the testacular service supposed to proxy /absolute requests?

Cheers

Daniel
