jasmine-fake-window

jasmine-fake-window is an extension for Jasmine JavaScript Testing Framework:

• minimally obtrusive utility for handling window mocking in jasmine
• currently only handles window.location

Installation

download jasmine-fake-window.js from here and include it in your Jasmine's test runner file (or add it to jasmine.yml file if you're using Ruby with jasmine-gem);

Usage

// source file
MyObjectNamespace = {
  window: window,
  goToUrl: function(url) {
    MyObjectNamespace.window.location.href = url
  }
}
// MyObjectNamespace spec
describe("MyObjectNamespace.window.location.href", function() {
  beforeEach(function() {
    MyObjectNamespace.window = jasmine.fakeWindow
  });

  it('does not change the page location', function() {
    MyObject.window.location.href = 'http://www.fake.com';
    // this spec would never run otherwise, because it would navigate
    // to another page.
    expect(MyObject.window.location.href).toEqual('http://www.fake.com');
    MyObject.goToUrl('http://www.google.com');
    // this spec wouldn't ever run either
    expect(MyObject.window.location.href).toEqual('http://www.google.com');
  });
});

Running Specs

run grunt from the command line to lint and run specs

Building distrubution

run grunt preprocess

TODO

• add navigator functionality
• DRY up code
• add init function to automatically set before and after blocks to reset the location or tie fake window in jasmine.Env
