Installation:

[sudo] npm install .

Ubuntu

On Ubuntu you might be able to use the scripts/install-ubuntu.sh script. Have a look and give it a try

Requirements

• node.js > 0.10
• npm

Used libraries

• Karma
• Chai
• Mocha
• You need more assertions? Have a look at Chai plugins

File structure

We do not have a general tests folder containing all test files. Instead we create a file having the same name appended by .spec.js in the same directory.

For instance you want to test a file named startfrom.js then we create a file named startfrom.spec.js: plugins/CoreHome/angularjs/common/filters/startfrom.js => plugins/CoreHome/angularjs/common/filters/startfrom.spec.js

Execution

Run tests and run them automatically again once there is a file change: karma start karma.conf.js

Run test suites only once: karma start karma.conf.js --single-run

Run test suites in a different browser: karma start karma.conf.js --browsers Chrome

Run tests in different browser permanently: You can change the browsers: ['Chrome', 'Firefox', 'PhantomJS'] property in karma.conf.js but you might have to be careful to not commit this change.

Before executing a test it'll always run JSHint to detect and report possible problems in the JavaScript code.

Testing existing jQuery code

Just in case you want to write a test for your jQuery code you can do this the same way. You might be interested in the Chai jQuery plugin.

Examples

• Testing a filter
• Testing a directive
• Testing a service/provider/factory/model
