# Jasmine Junit Runner

## What's this?

Something like this:

```javascript
describe("pure awesomeness", function() {
it("should be amazing!", function() {
expect(stuff).toEqual("amazing");
});

it("should be awesome", function() {
expect(moreStuff).toBe("awesome");
});
});

describe("coolness", function() {
it("should be cooler than ice when freezed", function() {
var coolness = CoolingRepository.beCool();
coolness.freeze();
expect(coolness.coolnessRatio).toBe(-100);
});
it("should be cool enough by default", function() {
expect(CoolingRepository.beCool().coolnessRatio).toBe(-5);
});
});
```

Being translated into something like this:

* * *

Quite simple, it's a custsom Java Junit Runner that allows you to embed Javascript Unit tests (using Jasmine) in your Java-based projects. It fully integrates with your most beloved IDE, your most hated version control system and of course your most needed CI env.

So let's rephrase:

* Run Javascript (the Jasmine - behavior driven - way) "specs" in Java
* Talks like a duck-erhm, any other Junit Java test. Just use a custom annotation (see below)
* Executes super-fast. No browser required. Hocus-pocus. (Rhino + Envjs magic)

## Does this thing support ...

### Generation of Junit XML Results?

Yes and no. Not explicitly using the Jasmine Junit XML Reporter, but since it's a Java Junit Result, your build process will do that for you.
Maven surefire plugins will generate the needed result files, for Jenkins to pick up. Your stacktrace/failure message will be something like:

> Expected x to be y (zz.js, #458)

Just like the default Jasmine HTML reporter.
(So, to answer the question: yes!)

### GUI Testing with Envjs?

Yes! It allows you to test your jQuery plugins or your spaghetti GUI+Logic code, neatly woven together.
You can use jasmine-jquery matchers. I've modified `jasmine.Fixtures` to support Envjs+Rhino. This means you can test stuff like this:

```javascript
beforeEach(function() {
loadFixtures("myFixture.html");
});

it("should be visible and blue", function() {
var div = $('#myDivInFixtureHtml');
expect(div).toBeVisible();
expect(div.css('color')).toBe('blue');
});
```

Fixtures are automatically cleaned up. See src/test/javascript/lib/jasminedir/jasmine-jquery-rhino.js

#### But wait, CSS Style Parsing does not work in Envjs 1.2, how come this does?

See env.utils.js. Cover your eyes - hacks present.

### Debugging 'n stuff?

Yes! When the debug mode flag in `@JasmineSuite` has been set to `true`, you can use the Rhino Debugger to set breakpoints.
After pressing "GO", the tests will run and you can inspect stuff and step through the code.

#### What about integrated debugging inside my IDE?

Tough luck. I've tried to get JSDT working but no avail.
You can still use Firebug to debug when generating a specRunner HTML file (see below).

## Excellent! What Do I need to do?

1. Fork this project.
2. Create some Jasmine specs, place them in some folder.
3. Create a Junit test class, annotate it with `@RunWith(JasmineTestRunner.class)`
4. Fill in the blanks using `@JasmineSuite`

## More options

`@JasmineSuite` allows you to set these options:

* debug: use the built-in Rhino debugger (gives you the chance to set a breakpoint before firing the test suite)
* jsRootDir: the javascript install root dir. Jasmine and other should be installed here (see source)
* sourcesRootDir: your production JS files root dir.
* specs: one or more spec file to run. You may also use the [glob syntax described here](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/file/FileSystem.html#getPathMatcher%28java.lang.String%29).For example to load all javascript files in subdir use subdir/*.js. Default behavior: use java Class name (replaces Test with Spec, see example).
* sources: one or more JS production file which your spec needs (included before specs, d'uh). You can use the same glob syntax as the specs option.
* generateSpecRunner: (the HTML output, useful for firefox/firebug debugging etc)
* specRunnerSubDir: a subsidiary path to the default runner root directory where generated spec runners will be placed
* envJs: load EnvJS support (defaults to true)

## Requirements

Currently, Jasmine Junit Runner relies on Rhino 1.7R2 (+ es5-shim) & Envjs 1.2 to interpret JS code. It also uses Jamsine 1.0.2 to read your spec files. All js libs are located in test/javascript/lib .

### Dependencies Overview

See the `pom.xml` (Maven2) - you can build the whole thing using:

> mvn clean install

* Rhino 1.7R2 + es5-shim 0.0.4 (not needed if you'll be using 1.7R3)
* Envjs 1.2 + required hacks in env.utils.js
* Jasmine 1.0.2
* Java libs: commons-io and commons-lang (test libs: mockito and fest assert)

* * *

# Examples

## Running a spec file as a Junit test

### Use the default spec naming convention

If you do not specify _specs_ with the annotation, the runner will auto-pick the spec name using your test class.
The below test will load _myAwesomeSpec.js_ from the specs dir (jsRootDir + '/specs/').

```java
@RunWith(JasmineTestRunner.class)
@JasmineSuite(sources = { 'jQuery.js', 'myAwesomeCode.js' } )
public class MyAwesomeTest {
}
```

your awesome production code relies on jQuery (of course it does), so you'll have to include it.

Your spec file might look like this:

```javascript
describe("my awesome code", function() {
it("will always run", function() {
expect(stuff.DoCoolThings()).toBe("awesome");
});
});
```

### Using Junit's `@Before` and `@After_`

It's possible to do some extra work before and after each spec run:

```java
@RunWith(JasmineTestRunner.class)
@JasmineSuite
public class MyAwesomeTest {

@Before
public void beforeStuff(RhinoContext context) {
context.evalJS("var prefabVar = { cool: 'yeah!' };");
}

@Before
public void beforeStuffNoContext() {
System.out.println("I'm gonna blow! Or Will I?");
}

@After
public void afterStuff() {
// say cool things
}

}
```

What's happening?

* You can define n number of _PUBLIC_ methods annotated with `@Before` or `@After`
* You can, but don't have to, take the `RhinoContext` object as the only parameter. This allows you to set stuff up in JS space before running the spec.

### Generating a spec runner

Your awesome test (example 1) would for instance generate this html file:

```html


Jasmine Test Runner










jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new jasmine.TrivialReporter());
jasmine.getEnv().execute();

```

You can inspect the output using firefox, or debug in your spec file using firebug.
