grunt-jstestdriver

Uniting testing using jsTestDriver and PhantomJS.

Getting Started

Navigate your console to your project folder and run command:

npm install grunt-jstestdriver-phantomjs

This will download the plugin to your project folder.

Then add this line to your project's `Gruntfile.js':

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-jstestdriver-phantomjs');

A basic config of jsTestDriver is as follows.

jstdPhantom: {  
	options: {
	},
    files: [
		"src-test/unit/jsTestDriver.conf", 
		"src-test/integration/jsTestDriver.conf"
	]
}

Currently we run JSTestDriver 1.3.3.d by default since it has proven more stable for certain scenarios but it you want to go with v.1.3.5, there's a flag for that.

jstdPhantom: {  
	options: {
		useLatest : true
	},
	files: [...]
}

Then you can add the task to your gruntfile.

grunt.registerTask('default', ['jstdPhantom']);

How it works

We spawn a process of JSTD to create a server and wait for a little bit to make sure its up and running. Then we spawn a PhantomJS instance and direct it to the server /capture page. When PhantomJS notifies us that its getting the /heartbeat we trigger the running of the tests.
