foounit-server

A node server that allows foounit to work better in a browser environment

What does it do?

• Better stacktraces
• Dynamically created suites
• Continuous integration

Better stacktraces

By default, foounit runs with an XhrLoadingStrategy which wreaks havoc on stack traces. foounit-server will load all dependencies as script tags so that stack traces are preserved.

Dynamically created suites

By accessing subdirectories of a test/spec directory from within your browser, foounit-server will partition the tests that are actually run.

For example, let's say you have a project that has the following file structure:

lib/example.js
lib/example/support.js
lib/example/support/inflections.js
lib/example/support/datetime.js
lib/example/widget/login_form.js
spec/example_spec.js
spec/example/support_spec.js
spec/example/support/inflections_spec.js
spec/example/support/datetime_spec.js
spec/example/widget/login_form_spec.js

If you point your web browser at http://localhost:5057/spec/ then it will run the entire test suite.

If you point your web browser at http://localhost:5057/spec/support_spec then it will run:

spec/example/support_spec.js

If you point your web browser at http://localhost:5057/spec/support then it will run

spec/example/support_spec.js
spec/example/support/inflections_spec.js 
spec/example/support/datetime_spec.js 

If you point your web browser at http://localhost:5057/spec/widget then it will run

spec/example/widget/login_form_spec.js

Continuous integration

foounit-server will output all test results to it's STDOUT. If there are any failures then foounit-server will exit with a non-zero return value. If all tests passed then the foounit-server process will exit with a 0 return value.

Installation

npm install foounit-server
