h1. JavaScript Testing in Rails

Larry and Jason, thinkrelevance.com

TATFT - Test All The Fucking Time - even javascript!

h2. Blue-ridge

Rails plugin that's really just a toolbox for javascript testing

github.com/relevance/blue-ridge

./script/generate blue_ridge
- Generates javascript tests with a syntax very similar to RSpec

Textmate bundle for blue-ridge exists. github.com/karnowski/blue-ridge-tmbundle

It can be run from the command-line AND from the browser.

h3. TDD

./script/generate javascript_spec project

h3. Stubbing

h3. Fixtures

You put the HTML objects in the /test/javascript/fixtures/project.html

OR you can insert the fixtures dynamically like with FactoryGirl.

h2. Screw.Unit

One of the tools in blue-ridge. Uses matchers like in RSpec - you can write your own.
Uses Rhino which runs on the JVM.

h2. Tiying into Rake

task :default => "test:javascript" in Rakefile

h2. Run>code>run

Continuos integration tool made by the presenters

h2. Other types of testing

It's not recommended to test "wire-methods" in JS unit-tests. This should be done in higher level tests.
