gulp-qunits

Run hybrid unit tests through QUnit in a headless PhantomJS instance, as well as directly in Node.js. Forked from gulp-qunit but developed as a separate project, for use in paper.js.

Install

Install with npm

1$ npm install --save-dev gulp-qunits

Usage

PhantomJS QUnit Runner

1var gulp = require('gulp'),
2    qunits = require('gulp-qunits');
3
4gulp.task('test', function() {
5    return gulp.src('test-runner.html', cwd: 'qunit' )
6        .pipe(qunits());
7});

With options:

1var gulp = require('gulp'),
2    qunit = require('gulp-qunits');
3
4gulp.task('test', function() {
5    return gulp.src('test-runner.html', cwd: 'qunit' )
6        .pipe(qunits({ arguments: ['--ssl-protocol=any']}));
7});

Node.js QUnit Runner

1var gulp = require('gulp'),
2    qunits = require('gulp-qunits');
3
4gulp.task('test', function() {
5    return gulp.src('test-runner.js', cwd: 'qunit' )
6        .pipe(qunits());
7});

With additional, optionally name-spaced requires:

1var gulp = require('gulp'),
2    qunit = require('gulp-qunits');
3
4gulp.task('test', function() {
5    return gulp.src('test-runner.js', cwd: 'qunit' )
6        .pipe(qunits({
7            require: [
8                { path: '../dist/paper-full.js', namespace: 'paper' }
9            ],
10            timeout: 20
11        }));
12});

API

qunits(options)

options.timeout

Type: Number
Default: 5

Pass a number or string value to override the default timeout of 5 seconds.

options.arguments

Type: Array
Default: undefined

The arguments to be passed on to forked process, e.g. PhantomJS. See the PhantomJS documentation for more information.

options.checkGlobals

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Causes QUnit to make a list of all properties in the global scope, before and after each test, and then checks for differences. If properties are added or removed, the test will fail, listing the difference. This helps to make sure your test code and code under test doesn't accidentally leak into the global scope. Currently this only works in the PhantomJS QUnit Runner.
