investigatr
investigatr is a minimal, extensible JavaScript test framework that runs in the browser (node support coming soon). The main aim of investigatr is to allow testing without modification of existing code and fast setup of tests.
Basic Usage
First, install investigatr
npm install investigatrNext, create my.spec.js and myTestRunner.html in the cloned folder. Our file structure will look like:
investigatr
- node_odules
- my.spec.js
- myTestRunner.html// my.spec.js
testGroup('Test Group Name', {
data: {},
tests: {
"verify investigatr is working": function (data) {
assertEquals(1, 1);
},
}
});<!-- myTestRunner.html-->

<script src="./node_modules/investigatr/dist/investigatr.js"></script>
<script src="./my.spec.js"></script>
<script>
investigatr.run();
</script>
</body>
</html>Open mytestRunner.html in a browser and you should see your test passing. For a more complicated example view the spec files in the tests folder.
By default investigatr outputs the results to a div element with the class of investigatr.
testGroup options
data | object | required
the data that should be set at the start of every test
tests | object | required
an object containing all the tests for this group. Keys are the test names and values should be functions.
tests: {
"test name": function() {
assertEquals(1,1);
}
}beforeEach | function(data) | optional
function to call before every test. Can be used to set up data etc.
investigatr options
investigatr allows options to be set with the init method.
example:
investigatr.init({
output: false;
})output | boolean
if output is set to false the render method on the renderer will not be called
renderer | instance of a class that implements a render method
Renderer is how the results will be renderer. It should be an instance of a class that implements a render method.
