Spike project for trying out Zombie.js with Jasmine

Finally I had a chance to try out this excellent stack!

Setup

First of all, you will need node and npm.

You will need a couple of node.js modules too:

npm install zombie
npm install html5
npm install jasmine-node
npm install express
npm install jade
npm install tav

Specs

To run all specs with watchr after each change to some production/test js file:

watchr specs.watchr

To run the zombie acceptance specs

./run-acceptance-specs.sh

To run the unit specs:

Setup JSTD (once only)

• Start JSTD server (and leave it open): ./start-jstd-server.sh
• Open http://localhost:8088/ with browser and click "Capture This Browser" and leave the page open. With firefox you can debug while running the tests with firebug!

and then call

./run-unit-specs.sh

There's also a neat way to run all specs:

./run-all-specs.sh

jQuery.ajax is faked during the unit tests using jasmine-fake-ajax

Launching the application

If you are interested in manually fiddling with the application (not much to see though), you may start the server by calling

cd ./application && node ./foo-twitter-client.js --port=8082

Scripts

./start-application.sh
./stop-application.sh

are using port 8003 and are ment to be used by the specs only. This enables keeping the application running in isolation from the specs.

TODO

• Some more application features
• css using Less.js or Stylus

Hope you enjoy, don't forget to follow me on twitter!
