Then simply type:

bower install

This will install the dependencies.

Description and configuration

The boilerplate is organized as follows:

-- coffee
    -- app
        -- app.coffee
        -- (other app files ...)
    -- tests
        -- tests.coffee
        -- (test files ...)
    -- index.coffee
    -- test.coffee
-- js
    -- (compiled files ...)
index.html
test.html

• test.html starts the tests
• index.html starts the app
• coffee/index.coffee is the first file which gets loaded by index.html and starts the app
• coffee/test.coffee is the first file which gets loaded by test.html and starts the tests
• coffee/test/tests.coffee contains the configuration for all tests. The return value of the define-body is an array of objects

Configuration Options

• path: {string} path to test, root is coffee/tests
• only: {bool} means only only this test will be executed (the first test which has the only flag)
• defineModules: {object} contains an object of modules which are mocked. Key is the module Name. Value is a function that should contain a "define"-call
