QUnit JavaScript Unit Testing framework for Rails.
QUnit on Rails works with Rails 3.2. You can add it to your Gemfile with:
group :development, :test do
gem "qunit-rails"
endRun the bundle command to install it. The engine is automatically mounted into your application in the development and test environments.
After you install it and add it to your Gemfile, you need to run the install generator:
rails g qunit:install
The generator by default will create two directories with two files inside
your test folder:
test/javascripts/test_helper.js
test/stylesheets/test_helper.css
If you want to specify a custom folder name for the tests and the test helpers,
you'll need to change the qunit.tests_path option in config/environments/development.rb
file:
App::Application.configure do
...
config.qunit.tests_path = "spec"
endThen, this is the result if you run rails g qunit:install:
spec/javascripts/test_helper.js
spec/stylesheets/test_helper.js
If you prefer CoffeeScript, you can run:
rails g qunit:install -j coffee
This will generate a test_helper.coffee file instead of test_helper.js.
The test/javascripts/test_helper.js file has the following content:
//= require application
//= require_tree .
//= require_selfThis loads all the javascripts defined in app/assets/javascripts/application.js.
Also, this pulls in all your test files from the javascripts folder into
QUnit-Rails:
test/javascripts/*_test.js
test/javascripts/*_test.coffee
test/javascripts/*_test.js.coffee
test/javascripts/*_test.js.erb
Here's an example test/javascripts/foo_test.js:
test("Foo always says the truth", function() {
foo = new Foo();
equal(foo.truth, true, "foo.truth is not true");
});If you're not comfortable with loading all the javascript defined in the
application.js manifest file, you can delete //= require application
from test_helper.js or #= require application from test_helper.coffee
and use the require dependency mechanism in your tests to pull the dependencies.
Here's an example test/javascripts/foo_test.js:
//= require foo
test("Foo always says the truth", function() {
foo = new Foo();
equal(foo.truth, true, "foo.truth is not true");
});For including stylesheets in your tests, It uses
test/javascripts/test_helper.css. Use [Sprockets][sprockets]
directives to include the right css files:
/*
*= require application
*= require_tree .
*/You can set your own custom Test Runner, by overriding
the default index.html.erb. Create a new file in
app/views/q_unit/rails/test/index.html.erb and edit it
whichever you prefer:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Custom Test Runner</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My Custom Test Runner</h1>
</body>
</html>Start the server to run the tests:
rails s
