Repository files navigation

This collection of files is useful for getting a Rails app up and running with headless JSSpec tests for your JavaScript files.

INSTALLING
 - Unpack the contents of this repo to RAILS_ROOT/spec/javascripts
 - Move test_jsspec.rake into RAILS_ROOT/lib/tasks

WRITING SPECS
 - Create the file in RAILS_ROOT/spec/javascripts/your_name_spec.js (The filename should end in _spec.js)
 - Write the specs directly in the file.
 - To use html fixtures:
   - Create an html file in RAILS_ROOT/spec/javascripts/fixtures/your_fixture_name.html that has the body of your sample html in it. (No html, or body tags please).
   - Load that fixture in the before_each for your spec by using fixture("your_fixture_name");
   - That fixture will then be available for both command line and compiled specs

RUNNING SPECS
  - To run specs on the command line run rake spec:javascripts
  - To run specs in the browser run rake spec:javascripts:compile and then open the file RAILS_ROOT/spec/javascripts/compiled/suite.html in your browser of choice
  - You can also run one spec at a time with either method by providing TEST=foo_spec.js (The compiled filename will change to foo_spec.html)

CHANGELOG

 - Created console_logger.js to display results of new version to console
   - Added color

    and to pull out execution code to a common place
 - Monkey patched JSSpec::Spec::extractOutSpecialEntries to ignore methods that
     Prototype adds to Object
 - Pulled generic library loads out of config.js so that config.js can be completely
    customized for your project
 - Added Rhino into the repository for convience
 - Changed the rake task to run all of the files in
    spec/javascripts/*_spec.js at once using runner.js


TODO
