JSFoo 2013

Writing client-side Unittests in Jasmine, using CoffeeScript; run them using PhantomJS and integrate with a Jenkins instance.

Outline

Getting client side JavaScript tests runs integrated with a Continuous Integration server has been a pain, mostly because JavaScript tests run on the browser.

The idea is to emulate the browser, so that test run results can be understood by a CI system.

PhantomJS can be used to solve that problem.

In this talk we will see how we can use PhantomJS to run Jasmine unit-tests written in CoffeeScript, and integrate it with a Jenkins CI instance.

Requirements

Understanding of JavaScript (optionally CoffeeScript), Unittests and Continuous Integration.
