Grunt + Jasmine
Getting faster feedback
from your tests
Travis Johnson / AppNexus
Started creating a Testing Culture about six months ago.
We had some tests, but it wasn't a given that tests would get written for new features.

Daniel Doubrovkine (do-brove-kin)Jenkins + Jasmine
Jenkins runs our unit tests on each check-in......but that is not fast enough.
The JavaScript Task Runner
grunt-contrib-jasmine
Install with:
$ npm install grunt-contrib-jasmine --save-dev
Enable in Gruntfile with:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jasmine');
Gruntfile.js
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
jasmine: {
src: 'src/**/*.js',
options: {
specs: 'spec/**/*.js'
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jasmine');
grunt.registerTask('test', ['jasmine']);
}
Run your tests
$ grunt test
Running "jasmine:examples" (jasmine) task Testing jasmine specs via phantom ... 3 specs in 0.001s. >> 0 failures Done, without errors.
Nice, but...
I want to run these tests faster, easier, etcLet's use Grunt to continuously run these for us.
grunt-regarde
Install with:
$ npm install grunt-regarde --save-dev
Enable in Gruntfile with:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-regarde');
Gruntfile.js
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
jasmine: {...},
regarde: {
tests: {
files: ['src/**', 'spec/**'],
tasks: ['test']
}
},
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jasmine');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-regarde');
grunt.registerTask('test', ['jasmine']);
grunt.registerTask('test-reload', ['test', 'regarde:tests']);
}
Run with:
$ grunt test-reload --forceWithout --force, grunt will stop running on test failure. --force is required due to an issue with regarde - will keep running tests on failure
grunt-notify
Install with:
$ npm install grunt-notify --save-dev
Enable in Gruntfile with:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-notify');
