Starter for Ten: JavaScript Unit Testing - msatkinson/ethereum GitHub Wiki

#Work In Progress Links and rough notes as I explore JavaScript Unit Testing approaches and frameworks. Initially focused on testing within the Meteor framework in support of the associated projects

##Meteor Testing

• The Official Guide (1.3)
• meteor test
  Lazy load everything apart from test files, use the test files to selectively import behaviour under test
  Provides pluggable driver package support
  Mocha is recommended

###meteor test-packages

####TinyTest for Meteor packages

• writing unit tests with tinytest
• meteor create --package <package name>
meteor test-packages

####Spacejam

• Package testing to the command line console with spacejam
• Example: spacejam test-packages model
  Note: use the package name, not the package path

####practicalmeteor:mocha
"Write package tests with mocha and run them in the browser or from the command line with spacejam."

• Unable to get mocha to test my package. The following command line was used:
  ./node_modules/spacejam/bin/spacejam test-packages --driver-package=practicalmeteor:mocha-console-runner model

###Meteor Configuration

• package.js v's package.json
• package.json nodejs npm configuration
• package.js meteor package configuration, refer to:
  meteor create

###Meteor Testing using Jasmine

• https://github.com/xolvio/meteor-jasmine
• Documentation
• http://www.webtempest.com/meteor-js-testing
  provides a useful source code structure for jasmine testing

####Meteor Test Driven Development using Larka and phantomjs(http://www.sitepoint.com/test-driven-development-with-meteor/)

• I appreciated the link to a discussion on the 'official' Meteor testing framework
