Testing exercises

Warning: As of Dec 2011 the tests haven't been kept to date and fail miserably


To test exercises, you need to also have the QUnit testing Framework in the directory khan-exercises/test/qunit. This is a separate download. Once you do that, you can navigate to these pages to see test results:

  • khan-exercises/test has regression tests for exercises
  • khan-exercises/utils/test has unit tests for utility functions

setting up qunit:

you should just be able to do a git submodule init; git submodule update from within the khan-exercises repo

user:~/khan-exercises/ $ git submodule init
Submodule 'test/qunit' (https://github.com/jquery/qunit.git) registered for path 'test/qunit'

user:~/khan-exercises/ $ git submodule update

Submodule path 'test/qunit': checked out 'bd6a75e29e97576f12bed0c6d8f949d7bafcd9d7'

If that doesn't work, an alternative is this:

  • cd to the same parent directory that you downloaded khan-exercises into
  • Use this command to obtain qunit
git clone http://github.com/jquery/qunit
  • cd into khan-exercises/test and make a symbolic link to the qunit directory
cd khan-exercises/test
ln -s ../../qunit qunit
