phantomjs-test-provisions

PhantomJS unit testing module installable through npm. Makes your PhantomJS javascript spaghetti testable, reusable and maybe even production-ready.

Note that PhantomJS must be installed. It is not a directly stated dependency because many developers choose to install phantomjs separately (outside of node/npm), and an explicit dependency on PhantomJS would entail downloading an additional copy of the PhantomJS binary.

phantomjs-test-provisions uses a standalone version of Jasmine. This package is largely based off of code in the upstream PhantomJS repository. As a separate node module, it could be a quick option for developers interested in adding testing to their PhantomJS outer context (JavaScriptCore environment).

install

With npm do:

npm install phantomjs-test-provisions

usage

There is a default example which can run immediately:

npm test

Also there is an example using grunt (see Gruntfile.js):

grunt test

To add tests to a separate PhantomJS module, add a tests/run-tests.js that looks like this:

// load and setup phantomjs-test-provisions
var testprovisions = require("./../node_modules/phantomjs-test-provisions");
var jasmine = testprovisions.jasmine;
var jasmineConsoleReporter = testprovisions.jasmineConsoleReporter;
var chai = testprovisions.chai;
var should = chai.should();
var it = jasmine.it;
var describe = jasmine.describe;

/* Remember to setup the module if it's expected to be available later. It
could also be required() inside each individual test. */
var mymodule = require("./../../mymodule")

// include the custom test files here
phantom.injectJs("./test-sample.js");

// launch the tests
var jasmineEnv = testprovisions.configureJasmine();
jasmineEnv.execute();

Then write tests in tests/test-sample.js like:

describe("phantomjs-test-provisions example test", function() {
    it("should exist", function() {
        should.exist(mymodule);
    });
});
