AppSuite:RunTests
API status: In Development
This article explains the test system of the frontend. It is aimed at developers that want to work with the frontend, be it creating new plugins or applications or modifying existing code using BDD. Bringing a BDD testing infrastructure to the frontend is still a work in progress and subject to (breaking) changes. Please contribute to the stability by reporting any issues or ideas to me.
Libraries
- Jasmine - JS BDD framework
- Sinon.JS - Standalone test spies, stubs and mocks for JavaScript.
- Karma Runner - test runner
Setting up your system
You need at least node version 0.8 to use the latest version of karma, which we need. To install the (latest version of) karma runner, run
npm install -g karma@canary
in a shell. You might need admin rights to do that, use sudo if needed.
Additionally you would need a development setup described in Getting started developing the UI. If you have different paths setup in your apache configuration, make sure to adjust the proxies setting in ui/karma.conf.js.
Running the test
Running the tests is pretty easy.
git clone https://git.open-xchange.com/git/wd/frontend/web cd web/ui git checkout -b develop origin/develop karma start
After that, open up a browser and point it to http://localhost:9876/.
