JazzMoney

Run your Jasmine specs without a browser

The Math

var jasmine = JsBdd;
var traceMonkey = Mozilla.JsEngine;
var johnson = Ruby + TraceMonkey;
var envJs = JsBrowser;
var harmony = johnson + envJs;

var jazzMoney = jasmine + harmony;

Install

Install harmony by following instructions here: http://github.com/mynyml/harmony

Install JazzMoney gem install jazz_money

Using

Run Specs

To run your specs, create a file in your project (spec/javascript/run_jasmine_specs_with_jazz_money.rb would work):

require 'rubygems'
require 'jazz_money'

javascript_files = [
  'public/javascripts/jquery-1.3.2.js',
  'public/javascripts/my_js_codes.js',
  'spec/javascript/spec_helper.js'
]

jasmine_spec_files = [
  'spec/javascript/my_js_codes_spec.js',
]

JazzMoney::Runner.new(javascript_files, jasmine_spec_files).call

You can then run this file on the command line using 'ruby'.

JazzMoney uses the RSpec runner to run your Jasmine specs. This means that if you pass options that RSpec recognizes, they will be parsed and used. For instance, to see colored and nested output instead of the standard progress dots, run jazz_money as so:

ruby spec/javascript/run_jasmine_specs_with_jazz_money.rb -f n -c

Execution Environment

JazzMoney sets up a single window instance, and all your specs are run within that window. If you are using jasmine-ruby, your tests should run with little modification.

Fixtures

If you need HTML fixtures, JazzMoney has an API for that:

beforeEach(function() {
  JazzMoney.loadFixture("projects");
});

In the code above, a file named 'spec/javascript/fixtures/projects.html' will be loaded and its entire contents will be dumped into the innerHTML of the body tag of the current window. You can add directory structure underneath the top level fixtures dir if you like.

CSS

There is no support for loading CSS rules from an external file, but early indications are that env.js has some support for CSS. Stay tuned.

Recent Changes

2010-08-13

• Support for Jasmine 0.11.1
• Stripped down to functional parts
• added bin file for helper commands (following jasmine approach)
• 'init' command that will insert a runner that uses jasmine.yml for files
• 'run' command that is short hand for running the runner. Was planning to use a rake task but direct ruby call to the runner is so much faster.
