jasmine-integration

Integration tests with jasmine. Visit node-todo for an example. Benefits of using this tool in a browser:

• Ability to run tests in isolation.
• Set breakpoints.
• Ability to see actual contents of the page loaded.
• Faster performance than phantomjs.

Usage

First you need to visit a url and probably wait until the page is loaded:

  beforeEach(function(done) {
    page = visit("/");
    page.ready(done);
  });

The page object supports clicking on elements:

  page.click("#selector")

And filling in input fields:

  page.fill_in("#selector", "Some text");

Async behavior with waitFor:

  beforeEach(function(done) {
	page.click("button");
	page.waitFor(function() {
	  return someCondition() == true;
    }, done);
  });

Waiting for page changes:

  beforeEach(function(done) {
	page.click("button");
	page.onBodyChange(done);
  });

To show the contents of the page:

  page.show();

spec_files:
  - "**/*[Ss]pec.{js,coffee}"

application_port: 8080

server_command: "node server.js"
