Running JSUnit tests as part of the Shindig mvn build

[Lev Epshteyn <le...@google.com>]

We're trying to figure out a good testing strategy with client-side
templates, and are running up against the fact that the JsUnit version that
maven works with doesn't seem to support DOM. This is a problem, given how
heavily templates relies on the DOM for its functionality - virtually no
actual tests can run, and we have been forced to put them into the EndToEnd
test harness instead (where HTMLUnit is available, which can be "adapted" to
behave like normal JsUnit).

Other features may need to be tested int he context of the DOM as well, so
the problem is not necessarily unique to Templates.

Is there any way to run build-time JS tests that will excercise javascript
code in the context of a DOM implementation? (I know that either JsUnit or
HTMLUnit can do this, but there may be others)

Why not create a simple mock DOM? It's pretty simple for the basic
operations.

Hello,
In our project, we use jqUnit and HtmlUnit to test client-side
javascript, and it certainly does support DOM handling. We have
wrapped pure jqUnit tests into JUnit test. The advantage of this
scheme over jsUnit is that one can run tests either manually (eg. in
development doing TDD, just hit F5 to reload the test page) or
automatically as part of the build.

If someone is interested ...

HTML unit definitely does this. It even uses the Neko parser to support HTML
DOM I believe. How it gets bound into Rhino I dont know.

I think there is a DOM extension available for Rhino, written by the  
JQuery team, that might give HTMLUnit and JSUnit DOM ability.
