karma-jstd-adapter

This is an adapter for the Karma Test Runner for Js-Test-Driver.

Basically that means that if you use this, you should be able to use Karma instead of Js-Test-Driver, with out making any changes to your tests. It's possible I broke some things though.

Another adapter exists, but it takes a much different approach than this adapter does, by adding a layer on top of Jasmine to simulate the features of Js-Test-Driver. Because of this, it is not yet feature-complete (for example, while I was still using it, I had to write my own queue for AsyncTestCase.)

This adapter instead does a wholesale import of the JavaScript portions of Js-Test-Driver, and uses that to provide the hooks into Karma. This provides the advantage of having most/all of Js-Test-Driver's functionality, without the cost of having to write a layer on top of Jasmine or anything else. On the other hand, Js-Test-Driver is a complex beast, and I'm certain there's a lot of code we're pulling over from Js-Test-Driver that is never going to be run, but I don't have the time to figure out what parts we need, and what parts we don't.

What Works

As far as I can tell, everything works. The only thing that probably doesn't work is Js-Test-Driver's HtmlDoc feature, I believe that was implemented in Java, and thus wasn't pulled over into this adapter. I don't use that feature, so I can't confirm whether it works or not. Hopefully it wouldn't be too implement that functionality if anyone needs it.

Installing

Basically all you need is jstd-adapter.js, so you can either download it from GitHub, or you can use npm install karma-jstd-adapter. In either case, add jstd-adapter.js to the list of files Karma will load, and you'll be set to go.

Building

"Building?" you ask, "What do you mean building?"

If you were looking at the files in this project, you may have noticed inserter.js and jstd-adapter-template.js. jstd-adapter-template.js contains the code that interfaces with Karma, but needs the Js-Test-Driver code to operate. inserter.js reads in the Js-Test-Driver code, does a few manipulations, and then inserts it into the text of jstd-adapter-template.js and produces jstd-adapter.js.

If you wanted to produce the jstd-adapter.js file yourself for whatever reason (say a new version of Js-Test-Driver comes out.), you'll need to do two things:

1. Download the Js-Test-Driver jar file.
2. Unzip it somewhere.
3. Run node inserter.js C:\path\to\Js-Test-Driver\com\google\jstestdriver\javascript\

And you'll be good to go!
