# Jasmine Headless WebKit runner

Run your specs at sonic boom speed! No pesky reload button or page rendering slowdowns!

## Introduction

This gem works with projects that have used the [Jasmine gem](https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine-gem) to
create a `jasmine.yml` file that defines what to test. The runner loads that
`jasmine.yml` file and executes the tests defined within in a Qt WebKit widget, displaying the results
to the console and setting the exit code to one of the following:

* 0 for success
* 1 for spec run failure
* 2 for spec run success, but `console.log` was called during the run

`console.log` works, too, so you can run your specs side-by-side in a browser if you're so inclined. It
serializes whatever you're passing in as as JSON string, so objects that are cyclical in nature will not
serialize. If anyone has a good solution for this, please suggest and/or fork'n'fix.

## Installation

`gem install jasmine-headless-webkit` or use Bundler.

Installation requires Qt 4.7. See [senchalabs/examples](https://github.com/senchalabs/examples) and [my fork
of examples](https://github.com/johnbintz/examples) for more information on the QtWebKit runner.

Tested in the following environments:

* Mac OS X 10.6, with MacPorts Qt and Nokia Qt.mpkg
* Kubuntu 10.10

Let me know via a message or in the Issues section if it works on your setup and it's not listed!

## Usage

    jasmine-headless-webkit [options] [path to jasmine.yml, defaults to spec/javascripts/support/jasmine.yml]

Current supported options:

* `-c`/`--colors` enables color output
* `--no-colors` disables color output

These options can also be placed into a `.jasmine-headless-webkit` file in your project root.

### CoffeeScript Support

`jasmine-headless-webkit` brings in the `coffee-script-source` gem and allows you to run CoffeeScript
files without needing compilation. It uses [the `<script type="text/coffeescript">` method](http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/#scripts) of loading
CoffeeScript. All you need to do is configure your `jasmine.yml` file to look for .coffee files:

    src_files:
      - app/assets/javascripts/**/*.coffee
    spec_files:
      - **/*[sS]pec.coffee

*(This will probably make it difficult to test your code in an official Jasmine server for now. You can try 
[a technique like this](https://github.com/jbaudanza/rack-asset-compiler/blob/master/examples/jasmine_config.rb) for compiling CoffeeScript when it's requested from the server
or use [this fork of jasmine-gem](https://github.com/johnbintz/jasmine-gem/tree/coffeescript-inline-support) which
is thoroughly untested.*


### JavaScript Dialogs

You can call `alert()` and `confirm()` in your code. `alert()` will print the message to the console, and
`confirm()` will always return true. There's no way right now to respond to `confirm()`, so it's best to
mock that call:

    spyOn(window, 'confirm').andReturn(false);

### Autotest Integration

`jasmine-headless-webkit` can integrate with Autotest. Your `jasmine.yml` file needs to be in the default
path, and you have to be ready to use a very alpha implementation of the feature. If used with RSpec 2,
Jasmine tests run after RSpec tests.

You need to create a `.jasmine-headless-webkit` file in your project root for this integration
to work.

`jasmine-headless-webkit` provides two new hooks: `:run_jasmine` and `:ran_jasmine` for before and after the
Jasmine specs have run. This is a good place to do things like re-package all your assets using 
[Jammit](http://documentcloud.github.com/jammit/):

    Autotest.add_hook(:run_jasmine) do |at|
      system %{jammit}
    end

### Server Interaction

`jasmine-headless-webkit` works the same as if you create an HTML file, manually load the Jasmine library and
your code & tests into the page, and open that page in a browser. Because of this, there's no way to handle
server interaction with your application or with a Jasmine server. If you need to test server interaction,
do one of the following:

* Stub your server responses using [Sinon.JS](http://sinonjs.org/)
* Use [PhantomJS](http://www.phantomjs.org/) against a running copy of a Jasmine server, instead of this project
