ABOUT

=====

Testlol is a Maven plugin for running Javascript unit tests in a headless browser

environment. It is built on Rhino, Env.js and JsUnit.

HOWTO

=====

To use in your own project, add this to your POM file, and edit as appropriate:

    

        

            

                tv.bodil

                maven-testlol-plugin

                1.0

                

                    

                        test

                        

                            test

                        

                        

                            src/main/resources/js

                            src/test/js/tests

                            

                                src/test/js/jquery.js

                            

                        

                    

                

            

        

    

Your tests might look like this:

    load(basePath + "classToTest.js");

    

    function testMyClass() {

        var obj = new MyClass();

        assertEquals(4, obj.add(2, 2));

    }

The "basePath" variable in the first line is simply the path configured in the

"basePath" property in the POM, and should point to the base of the code tree

you are testing.

Point the "testSuite" property at your test files. It will scan this directory

recursively and run through any file found inside it ending with the ".js" prefix.

Any function whose name starts with the word "test" is considered a test. If there

is a function called "setUp" in the file, it will be run prior to executing the

tests. Likewise, a function called "tearDown", if present, will be run after the

tests have finished executing.

You can preload Javascript files into your test environment using the "globalFiles"

property. Use this to load eg. frameworks and toolkits. Never load code you are

testing in this way, because it is shared between every test suite, and changes

made in one test will persist into the following tests.

To learn about writing tests, refer to the JsUnit documentation. All JsUnit

asserts etc. are available in the Testlol environment.
