grunt-qunit-minimalist

Minimalist phantomjs-based qunit test runner. Runs your QUnit test host page file without depending on a server like connect, also keeps results displayed in console to a minimum. Only failures are reported visually along with a summary.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-qunit-minimalist --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-qunit-minimalist');
