Common usage

hydrajs-testing-helper extends Hydra.js library adding new methods.

Hydra.setTestFramework

This method is needed to set which test framework we will use. If the test framework is not set the other methods will not work.

Hydra.setTestFramework( oTestFramework );

Hydra.module.getModule

This method returns a instance of the module is useful to use it when you want a module to be accessible in your tests.

Hydra.module.getModule( sModuleId, sIdInstance, function( oMod ) {
	oModule = oMod;
});

Hydra.module.decorate

This method wrap the original decorate method of Hydra to resolve the dependencies in decorated modules.

// aDependencies is optional
Hydra.module.decorate( sBaseModuleId, sExtendedModuleId, aDependencies, function() {
	// Your module code here.
});

Hydra.module.extend

This method wrap the original extend method of Hydra to resolve the dependencies in extended modules.

// aDependencies is optional
Hydra.module.decorate( sBaseModuleId, sExtendedModuleId, aDependencies, function() {
	// Your module code here.
});

Hydra.module.test

This method returns a module that will not wrap any method allowing you to test it and get the errors.

With callback:

var oModule = null;
Hydra.module.test( 'moduleId', function(oMod) {
	oModule = oMod;
});

Without callback:

var oModule = Hydra.module.test( 'moduleId' );

This method allow you to mock all your dependencies defined when the module is registered:

How to mock dependencies

Automatic:

var oModule = Hydra.module.test( sModuleId );

Using only the id of the module, the method will check for the dependencies defined when the module was registered and it will resolve them but returning the objects after being mocked.

Using an array:

var oModule = Hydra.module.test( sModuleId, [ dependency1, dependency2 ]);

You should add an array with the mocked objects in the same order that were defined when the module was registered.

Using an object:

var oModule = Hydra.module.test( sModuleId, { dep1: dependency1, dep2: dependency2 });

You should add an object with the mocked objects and the keys should be the same that were defined when the module was registered.

API

Hydra

setTestFramework - Params [Object - framework test]

This method expects an object [Jasmine, jstestdriver...]

Hydra.module

getModule - Params [String - identifier of Module, String - identifier of Instance]

decorate - Params [String - identifier of Base Module, String - identifier of Decorated module, [Function or Array]

extend - Params [String - identifier of Base Module, String - identifier of Decorated module, [Function or Array]

test - Params [String - identifier of Module, [Function, Object or Array]]

Tip: You can see how it can be used in the Hydra's test file
