Running JavaScript tests on your Rails app, the easy way.

- Supports [QUnit](http://qunitjs.com), [Ember.js](http://emberjs.com), [Mocha](http://mochajs.org) and [Jasmine](http://jasmine.github.io/)
- Go headless with [Phantom.js](http://phantomjs.org)
- Colored output
- Asset pipeline support
- [Rails Assets](http://rails-assets.org) support (Bower Proxy)

## Installation

Add these lines to your application's `Gemfile`:

```ruby
group :development, :test do
gem "test_squad"
end
```

And then execute:

```console
$ bundle
```

## Usage

After installing TestSquad, generate your tests skeleton. The generator will detect if you're using RSpec or TestUnit and will generate the `javascript` directory based on that detection. Just use the command `rails generate test_squad:install --framework FRAMEWORK`.

```console
$ rails generate test_squad:install --framework jasmine
create test/javascript/squad_sample
create test/javascript/squad_sample/.keep
create test/javascript/spec_helper.js
source https://rails-assets.org
exist test/javascript
create test/javascript/test_squad.rb
```

If you're already using , you can skip the Gemfile entry with `--skip-source`.

## Running tests

You can run your tests with `rake test_squad`. You can also visit `http://localhost:3000/tests` for in-browser testing.

### Configure Ember

When using the Ember framework, you must configure your application name. It'll default to your Rails application name.

```javascript
//= require application
//= require_self
//= require_tree ./components
//= require_tree ./models
//= require_tree ./routes
//= require_tree ./unit
//= require_tree ./views

// Set the application.
App = SquadSample;

// Set up Ember testing.
App.rootElement = "#ember-testing";
App.setupForTesting();
App.injectTestHelpers();
```

To disable all Ember logging, add the following line to `test_helper.js`, just before the `//= require application` line.

```javascript
//= require ./logging
```

Then create the file `spec/javascript/logging.js` with this content:

```javascript
Ember = {ENV: {
LOG_TRANSITIONS: false,
LOG_VIEW_LOOKUPS: false,
LOG_ACTIVE_GENERATION: false,
LOG_RESOLVER: false,
LOG_TRANSITIONS: false,
LOG_TRANSITIONS_INTERNAL: false,
LOG_VERSION: false
}};
```

### Configure Mocha

By default, Mocha is configured with [expect.js](https://github.com/Automattic/expect.js). You can use different libraries like [should.js](https://github.com/visionmedia/should.js) or [chai](http://chaijs.com/).

Just add the dependency to your `Gemfile`. Use `rails-assets-chai` or `rails-assets-should`:

```ruby
source "https://rubygems.org"
source "https://rails-assets.org"

gem "rails", "4.2.0"
gem "sass-rails", "~> 5.0"
gem "uglifier", ">= 1.3.0"

gem "ember-rails"
gem "rails-assets-jquery"

group :development, :test do
gem "test_squad", path: "../../test_squad"
gem "rails-assets-mocha"
gem "rails-assets-chai"
end
```

Install the dependency with `bundle install`. Then require the library on `{test/spec}/javascript/spec_helper.js`.

```javascript
//= require application
//= require chai
//= require_self
//= require_tree ./squad_sample

var assert = chai.assert;

mocha.setup("bdd");
mocha.checkLeaks();
mocha.globals(["jQuery"]);
mocha.reporter(mocha.TestSquad);
window.onload = function(){
mocha.run();
};
```

## Troubleshooting

### Route is not available

If you have a catch-all route, add the following line to your `config/routes.rb` file. This will be required if you configure Ember.js to use `history.pushState`.

```ruby
get :tests, to: "test_squad#tests" unless Rails.env.production?
```

Otherwise you won't be able to to run your in-browser tests.

### Using NPM/Bower instead of rails-assets

You may want to use something else (NPM, Bower directly, etc). In this case, the easiest way is adding QUnit's directory to the load path.

Let's configure QUnit from NPM. Create the file `package.json` like the following:

```json
{
"name": "myapp",
"version": "0.0.0",
"private": true
}
```

Run the command `npm install qunitjs --save-dev` to install QUnit. The library will be available at `node_modules/qunitjs/qunit`. Now modify `config/initializers/assets.rb`, adding this directory to the load path.

```ruby
# ...

if Rails.env.development?
Rails.application.config.assets << Rails.root.join("node_modules/qunitjs/qunit").to_s
end
```

That's it!

## Configuration

The rake task accepts some env variables.

- `TEST_SQUAD_SERVER_HOST`: the binding host. Defaults to `localhost`.
- `TEST_SQUAD_SERVER_PORT`: the server port. Defaults to `42424`.
- `TEST_SQUAD_SERVER_PATH`: the server path. Defaults to `/tests`.
- `TEST_SQUAD_TIMEOUT`: how much time a test can take. Defaults to `10` (seconds).
- `TEST_SQUAD_PHANTOMJS_BIN`: set the PhantomJS binary. Defaults to `phantomjs`.

You can configure these options using the `{test,spec}/javascript/test_squad.rb` file.

```ruby
TestSquad.configure do |config|
config.framework = "qunit"
config.server_host = "127.0.0.1"
config.server_port = 42424
config.server_path = "/tests"
config.timeout = 10
config.phantomjs_bin = "phantomjs"
end
```

## Contributing

Before starting, create an issue asking if it'd be a useful/wanted feature. This will avoid wasting your time.

1. Fork it ( http://github.com/fnando/test_squad/fork )
2. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`)
3. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Add some feature'`)
4. Push to the branch (`git push origin my-new-feature`)
5. Create new Pull Request

Remember:

- Don't mess with versioning.
- Follow the code style already present.
- Opening an issue asking if your feature/change will be merged it's recommended, so that you don't waste your time.
