# JavaScript Testing Example (Browser and Node.js)

Using Node.js has the added benefit of allowing you to use similar libraries

on the client and server/cloud. In this instance we are using both

[Mocha](http://visionmedia.github.io/mocha/]) and

[Chai](http://chaijs.com/) to test some code.

This repository is a *really* simple example of how you can test client and

cloud code. The code included should be easy to pick up

and read.

## Perquisites (Required Software)

You will need [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/), [npm](https://www.npmjs.org/), [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) and [bower](http://bower.io/) installed.

Install Node.js and npm by going to the [download](http://nodejs.org/download/)

page of [nodejs.org](http://nodejs.org/).

To install bower, first ensure Node.js and npm are installed, then open a

terminal and type ```npm install -g bower``` followed by ```npm install -g grunt-cli```. You may need sudo permissions.

## Setup

Once you have the perquisites sorted you need to install the project

dependencies.

#### Client Dependencies

##### Option #1: Karma

```

cd client/default

npm install .

```

##### Option #2: Bower

bower install

#### Node.js Dependencies

```

cd cloud

npm install .

```

## Running Tests

If you have completed the previous steps then we're good to go!

#### Client

The client will use Karma to run tests automatically in the predefined

browsers in __karma.conf.js__ or use a standard index.html file to run tests

in the browser used to open this file.

##### Karma

```bash

grunt test

```

Karma allows us to automate testing across a range of browsers. Alternatively

you can open index.html which has manually included the required libraries and

will run the __same__ mocha tests as Karma did. Awesome!

##### Standard index.html (with Bower for dependencies)

Using the same framework (mocha in this case!) we can have a HTML file

dedicated to testing as seen in the index.html in the project. Simply open this

file to try it out.

#### Cloud

Run the following:

```

mocha cloud/tests/

```
