Testing Sencha Touch with Karma

An small example of unit testing an Ext JS application using the Karam test runner.

Why?

Automated testing should be automatic. This is one way, I am sure there are others but I like it this way and so can you :-)

Overview

I basically took two Git Repos, an example of a Sencha app with tests ( UnitTestDemo ) and one on Karma running jasmine tests automagically ( Karma-RequireJs ), and merged them.

Get started

• Download this repo

* npm install -g karma
* cd /path/to/repo
* karma start

Result: Karma runs, the tests should pass, life is good

Notes

• There are two karma.conf.js. The one in the 'root' directory is for the tests. The one in the sub-directory - 'tests/karma.conf.js' - is a left over from the Karma-RequireJs repo. I have left it there so I can refer to it.
